The reason the rudder even exists is to counteract adverse yaw. (This is a detailed explanation of why turns are coordinated) Say we were to make left turn as you do this the alierons deflect the air of the left wing up causing it to go down and vice versa on the other side. As this happens the right wing produces more lift and therefore more drag as it raises. The nose will initially pull to the right opposite of our left turn due to that drag. You can't really see this in a powered plane but you can in a glider. To counteract this we use the rudder to fix the adverse yaw. There you go. Now you know more than most licensed pilots do!
1:08 not a fan of how MSFS does this. Almost all GA aircraft use free castering nose wheels. Pedals aren’t turning the nose wheel, the rudder with the assistance of differential braking is turning the plane, and as a result the wheel follows.
Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals are still top notch, I'm using them myself as well 😁

That is true, however this certain aircraft (Tecnam P92) that I fly in real life does have a nose wheel that turns from rudder input alone.
