Minhal's post in switching from-to pilot gunner positions, cant fire main cannon in pilot seat was marked as the answer
Switching seats back and forth does not issue the described problem for me. The co-pilots weapon control switch would have been my guess too (see image). Also, is the weapon selection switch on pilots position still on fixed MG 30?
The weapon control switch must be in the down position for the pilot to have weapon control:
Otherwise, a track file of the issue would be helpful i guess.

Minhal's post in Wheel Brake Behavior was marked as the answer
The tailwheel on the P-47D does not self center. So when unlocked for taxi, it will maintain the left or right position and you'll keep turning. Check in F2 view when you use differential braking and you'll notice. Got to apply opposite brake to end the turn and align the tailwheel straight again. For takeoff, align the tailwheel straight down the runway. Then use the tailwheel lock lever on the lower right of you seat to lock the tailwheel in position.
Once you are aware and did a bit of taxi, it becomes second nature quickly.
