You don't seem to understand what I am writing. Perhaps try putting into Google Translate to your nativ language?
Yeah, I already tried. But with "pissed off manor" I got some strange results, so I guess there is something wrong with Google's translation. (not to be taken seriously)
I admit " intensifies it" was a clumsy and easy to misinterpret expression.
Maybe my English looks a bit strange in some cases, but I think the rest was not too difficult to understand.
I never thought or stated that the auto-centering was a bug.
You are totally right, lets stop our hassle.
I hope at least the bystanders had a bit of fun watching it.
My personal bottom line: there was some misundertanding and misinterpreting on both sides.

I got a question. On preflight check don't you check the steering surfaces from the cockpit by fully deflecting them (and therefore fully step in the pedals)?
I'm your opinion it's a good idea to stop working against the resistance to prevent the mechanism from damage. It's just a guess, but theoretically shouldn't it be possible to turn the wheel fully on standing position (even if you might damage something)? Just analogous to a standing car without powersteering where you try to turn the steering wheel? Or is there a mechanism that disconnects the nose gear from rudder pedals?
So now my personal point of view: If it's theoretically possible to turn the nose wheel, I would personally remove the auto-centering. It should be the users's choice how to treat or mistreat the plane. (A careless pilot might also overheat or shock-cool the engine, or lean the mixture when full power is set to cause the engine to knock, or on the Airbus use reversers for pushback, ...)
About your proposal: Do you want to marry me? (Just joking. Sorry, I had to.)
Doesn't sound bad, but I don't know about that. If you think it's a good idea, go ahead and implement that.
If it's confirmed that theoretically it would be possible to turn the nose gear while standing, please understand that I personally will remove it (when I'm smart enough to do it).
As you are completely rewriting the Airbus:
What do you think about adding a checkbox similar to the FG-777 tiller steering. 3 checkboxes: Rudder only (for rudder check), nosewheel only (for taxi), rudder and limited nose wheel (for take off and landing)?
