Tailwheel aircraft don't require differential brakes and the convenient toe-brakes of modern cessnas aren't applicable (at least, not for the majority of types). To turn tightly in single engined aircraft -
Slow right down. Hold the brakes. Hold the stick right back. Tailwheel lock off. Apply power. Apply rudder in the desired direction.
Works a treat and is actually close to normal practice for such aircraft. For twins, use differential power to assist you. If you have one engine out, perhaps you could wait for a tow truck? Shame the game engine doesn't simulate that!
