If you are on win10, use the game bar for recording (windows key + G), or if you want something more advanced use OBS.

the new coefficients

They do work better in terms of bounciness.
The plane jumps much less if using the brakes.

But tiller steering. Still no way.

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

OK I've watched it.... and it's the same as mine..

The bouncing is caused by the nose wheel suspension being soft.... and the steering, do people really expect more ?

Most certainly.
Look like at 2:30

Pay attention on where my rudder/tiller steering is on the hud.
And take note of where the aircraft is heading towards!

Ah, found it ... the real Pup 100 nosewheel steering is +/- 25 degrees:

http://austerhg.org/beagle_mags/volume_7.pdf

See page 3.

In FG, +/- 25 degrees on the nosewheel becomes uncontrollable in the takeoff roll. It's a compromise because the nosewheel axis is tied to the rudder axis in FG. I found max_steer of 12.5 does a reasonable job around small airports and is manageable on the runway.

It does depend on joystick settings of course, and whether you have rudder control on the stick.

where does that number go?
I'll be happy to give it a try

You could base the steering off of speed, so +/- 25 at low speeds, but it decreases sensitivity as you take off.
