Default Cannot turn on ground

I cannot seem to use the rudder to turn properly when I taxi my plane usually won't let me turn right, I tried in several planes and they all behave the same.
Is there a way turn the tail wheel? I can't find a control for it.
My rudder is working fine in the air.

Map your axis wheel brake to something. Then brake a little and use the pedals.

people on here explained to me that the way differential brakes for the spitifire and hurricane work as follows: (have not tried any other craft)

Pushing in the wheel brake which is presumably a button, switch on your stick, enables hydraulics to the wheel brakes. then when you push in left rudder it will give brake power to the left wheel (i think). If rudder centered then the same amount of brake power is used for both wheels.

Because the rudder has next to no influence on your direction at low speeds you need to use the brakes to turn.

Hope this helps.

you can turn... you just have to be out of the wind to do so

I too can't turn around, but my plane does by itself and I can't figure out why. It's parked inside some protective walls and as it turns without me being able to turn it back again, I can't even take off. My mission file is:

I'd say: re-read my post above a couple of times and try it out. What happens if you brake left and go full throttle? Exactly... you would turn left...

yea,seems to be a bug
as you spawn,the plane(s) is moving,so i quickly squeeze both brakes and its stops moving
i find it easier as mentioned to use left or right brake to turn
however,i can turn with rudder,just not as easy and requires more thrust

But there seems to be no separate left/ right brake on the Spit. It's VERY hard to turn on the ground, but the wind turns my plane rather easily.
