Most nosewheel aircraft have a steerable nose wheel, and you can also use differential brakes, but the latter is mostly for taildraggers or planes with a free castoring nose wheel.

"Takeing" off??? "Jerking of"??? What are you trying to say Lassie? Timmy's in the well? Is that it girl?

Please tell me, what exactly is a Cessna 270? Nobody cares if you're father flies, that doesn't mean spit.

Its probably easier controlling an aircraft in real life, from my experience. The difficulty comes with learning all the different checks, eventualities if something goes wrong (you may have to consider a range of things upon landing, in case something goes wrong at the last second) and controls in tough weather. Getting used to a yaw is also weird at first. You dont usually get random engine fires on FS, nor all the controls to deal with them properly.

just a question,i have flightsim 2007.and i can easly takeoff and fly and land without crashing,And i use the Profesional button. can i compare this with the real thing. because i am thiking about taking real lessons.So does my expireance with flightsim help me a little???

ya it will help alot. thats i got started and now im only 7 hours from my licence

I have over 4000 hours total time and I can tell you that any flightsim is harder than the real thing. Flightsim helps if you practice actually going through procedures like checklists. It is most useful for IFR training. Some of your IFR training will most likely be in a flight simulator that is much less sophisticated than your "flightsim 2007." By the way there's not much to taking off, especially in a fixed gear fixed pitch airplane, just add power, if it's running, it WILL take off.

It might help but i found flying a lot different and, landing for me is alot harder in real life exspecially with cross winds.

If you fly with a complete stick/throttle/rudder pedal setup, it'll help a little. Otherwise you're just familiarising yourself with the instruments, it won't help you much with the actual flying - no PC flight game is realistic enough yet, IMO.
