Sharp turn while taxi
How can I make the planes make sharper turns? Wheels are not even turning, taxiing has been an awful experience just because I need to reverse every time I gotta make a turn... Using a Logitech Extreme 3D PRO, never had any issues on XPlane 11 for taxi...

Any ideas or tips? Tried to find something on controls but can't figure it out

I have found that going slower(like crawling slow) helps a bit.

If it's an aircraft with differential braking, taking advantage of that. Full rudder and diff braking can get most aircraft to turn sharply. The GA ones at least.

Go to your controls and map the Left brake and Right brake separately into a button. You can push the left brake and turn left using the rudder twist on your joystick.

Keep it on around 5-10 knots for sharp turning.

What this person said. Using left and right brake together with the rudder for wheel turn will make you clear those turns just fine.

im using a saitek x56 and found that in addition to left rudder, applying full left stick (aileron) gives me that extra pivot turn at slow airspeeds. i equate it to a game-ism

Is there brake sensitivity that can be tweaked so the plane will not go full stop when braking for sharp turns?

The speed limits for most airports are about 30 knots for taxiways and 10 knots for 90 degree turns.
With this speed, the sharp turns in the sim are no problem.
