Is it practical/desirable to use it for steering?

Unfortunately it is very awkward to adjust the throttles separately in
a sim, so I've never tried this type of steering.


Depending on the size of the aircraft and the engines, only small
increases/decreases (+/- 100 rpm) in power are necessary if applied at
the correct times.
