i was wondering. i am not able to lock the nosewheel in place to keep it straight on rollout. i have the ON and OFF mapped to a button on the joystick with a mod and same button. i look at the jet in F2 and see it moving regardless of button presses.

That's not the control you want to map (if any need to be mapped), you have to map "Nose wheel steering high sensitivity button". During start up it's set to steer correctly, but once airborne that switch pops up automatically so you aren't in "high sensitivity" when you're back in the landing run. Once more or less stopped to exit runway you must push high sensitivity switch again in order to taxi back to parking. Once set again you can steer normally, no need to keep it pushed like F-5 or any alike, that's why I say you don't really need to map it to HOTAS controls unless you're plenty of spare buttons.

thank you. so you suggest just clicking the correct button on the central front panel? no need to map?

Nope unless you want to, but it's a one time push and you're good to go.
