If any thing it's to slippery, I hold my breaks and still slide all over.
I don't get stuck like glue I can roll out and take off with no problems.

Here's a spitfire MKII taxying on short grass.

After an initial rev up to 1600RPM to get it moving, it taxi's at about 1500RPM (wouldn't be shown on the RMP guage in the cockpit.

From my guestimate the throttle lever position is about 20%. What should it be? please post sources to correct info. (not another other sim please!)

Cheers!

Don't really call that a taxi, you're not even moving at walking pace. Turning is a nightmare too, but watch real footage (and the real thing at airshows) and there never seems to be a problem.

Hope to see it fixed in the future

African! Pifft! What we got here here is a classic graphical example of 'Shin High New Guinea Highland'

TAXI- The movement of an airplane under its own power on the surface of an airport (FAR Part 135.100 [Note]).

As the question was asked before I'll repeat it. "What was the throttle setting for that?" What RPM were they running at? Do you know?
