Is there a special throttle button? Because I push the throttle up, then brake/stop and repeat that and sometimes I will accidentally take off again. (I only have FSX demo and I cannot view the tutorial.)

you may be using full throttle instead of increments of throttle, if your are using a keyboard, press and hold Shift then press "4". (not the 4 on the numberpad) to bring up the throttle quadrant, then you can press and hold F3 until you get to a setting that you like... if you are using a joystick such as "Sidewinder Precision 2" i usually find that 1/4 of the throttle wheel will suffice, without the aircraft taking off again.

I think the problem is that you are using full throttle and no throttle and nothing in between. If you have a joystick, you can use the throttle wheel for fine throttle control. If you are using a keyboard, one of the F-function keys increases and decreases throttle incrementally. If that doesn't work, switch to cockpit view by pressing "s". If you get virtual cockpit, press "a" until you get the regular cockpit panel, find the throttle control by scrolling over the different knobs and levers (it varies in location depending on the aircraft you are using, in the cessna 172, it is on the bottom left side). Click the knob, lever, etc. and drag until you reach the desired throttle control.

advance the throttle slightly and decrease prop RPM if your flying a prop (thats the prop condition lever)... then take the throttle back to idle and taxi SLOW... airplanes are not graceful creatures on the ground... also, retract any flaps you have out after you have turned off the runway...

You have your prop RPM too fast find the RPM that you can roll with out having to hit brakes, then remember that...when you start rolling rev the engine to get it rolling then back off to the RPM that you remembered, Hey it works for real aircraft. Keep in mind headwinds and tail gusts will throw it off. but it isn't a perfect science

Just keep the power down, don't let the speed go above 20-30.
