I usually set about 11,00orpm and then just dab the brakes now and again :thumbsup:

I would hazard a guess there is some settings in config file that determines on how it rolls depending on the terrain surface. I try to avoid taxying, usually appearing at the start of the flight at the end of the active runway. This spoils things somewhat but stops any chance of 25knt penalty. Also avoids over fuel useage with constant reving up and braking

Actually, I was watching my GPS yesterday as I taxied. To my surprise, I ran up to 27GS knots and wasn't penalised... Maybe it knows I'm a learner :)

If you were taxying to or from the active you probably had a tailwind and the airspeed would have been below 25 *-)

Yes... you're penalised on 'groundspeed' :) Tweak the nose of terror too much and it will bite you eventually.. at which point, there's no turning back ;)
