I also have Logitech rudder pedals, but I have no trouble steering the A-4 precisely. I control the little bird by short, alternating kicks to the left and right toe brakes. If you try to stand on the left or right toe brake to force the plane in the direction you want to go, you will lose that battle.

Good for you. I find it $%#@! annoying. I agree there should have been an option for it because although all the real rudder pedals in the real A-4E are probably just fine not all simulation pedals and sim flyers are created equal.

Did you have set deadzones for the toe brakes of the Logitech Rudders in the A-4E-C control settings? I have deadzones of 25 on both toe brakes. This prevents the Skyhawk brakes from reacting to the slightest movement of the feet, what would resulting in unwanted moves to the left or to the right. So, you have to hit the brakes short and hard to steer the plane. This is much easier than trying to steer the aircraft by gently kicking the toe brakes.

i have deadzones under my table, which physicly dont let me push pedals all the way, cause thereis a wall. i am the person who put dead zones and curves to max input as possible. this option really needed.

I am deeply sorry for you. In this case you are right, it would be necessary to have an option for an alternative nose wheel steering.

Just adding to this as I recently started learning this great mod and was unable to continue because of this issue. *If* you have a spare axis on your control setup then they might be usable, but if you have no extra axes available it is simply not possible to precisely steer this plane on the ground in tight spaces. Given this, and also the evidence that difficulty with ground steering meant a lot of handling on carriers was done with the assistance of ground crew, I think it is the wrong decision by the developers not to offer users any other options here.

Another request for NWS. I don't have pedals and gave up on this mod. 

A checkbox would be ideal - if you want realism leave it unchecked. For those of us that just want to play a game, we can enable it.

I can use differential braking but it turns in a wide arc, how would this work on an aircraft carrier?

You drive slowly so you don't skid across the deck. The slower you are, the more narrow your turning circle gets.
