I have the same problem. The configuration suite change to the steering mode by clicking the hot spot on the panel -- did nothing. Just changed the contact point number 7 in the config file, let's see if that fixed it. If not, it's off to JF support. Strange these random bugs. BTW, Frames always above 32, max sliders, full FTX, REX, core i7 extreme, 32GB memory, GTX 780. Smooth as silk. Stunning visuals and sound.
Please note that the clickspot on the trim panel performs a different function to the options in the configuration tool. The clickspot simply allows you to use your joystick rudder axis to apply differential braking, it does not enable a direct-steer nosewheel like the tool does.
The manual covers this (in the section that covers the trim panel).
Edit - a customer has just noticed that the trim panel clickspots are incorrectly labelled (reversed) on the manual image. The nosewheel clickspot is the lower of the two.
