Optional Request for information on how to get a tighter tailwheel steering turn radius #14

I was wondering how to get a smaller tailgear wheel turn radius while steering on the ground so as to be able to turn around on the runway to get to the closest exit ramp without having to go off the pavement. Right now it makes a pretty wide turn. Edit: I am using an x-box (like) game controller and don't have rudder pedals for differential braking and the game controller left and right triggers only control the tail wheel and rudder, not wheel braking.

Never mind, not a big deal.

A bit of experimentation, I figured out that in order to get +/- 45 degrees tail wheel steering deflection you need to specify the full 90 degree arc in radians as shown below. <[servoclassic][ServoSteering][] <[string8][Input][SteeringProduct.Output]> <[float64][Speed][4.0]> <[float64][P0][0.0]> <[float64][P1][-1.57079633]> // max deflection arc 90 degrees in radians equals +/- 45 degrees for tail wheel deflection
