Which pushback method do you use? GSX or PMDG's?

[captain420 3,099]

For those who own both products, which is the better of the two when it comes to using pushback?

[Dave_YVR 994]

GSX, IMO without a doubt. Right on the taxi line every time.

GSX. It's a perfect pushback for me. 

[ErichB 3,651]

GSX for sure.  PMDG's method serves well if you don't have GSX

I haven't seen much difference in how the aircraft is pushed. But...

...keep in mind the GSX pushback will give you the animated tug and the walker, which will make te procedure look much more real, once you care to look outside.

[ErichB 3,651]

The GSX pushback uses the AFCAD file and pushes back on the taxi markings as it should be. The PMDG utility is reliant on your judgement of distance. It's all a matter of how immersive you want the whole thing to be. But I find the start/pushback and taxi phase of the flight to be one of the best parts of the experience.

GSX for sure. Plus you get the catering trucks, fuel trucks and loading animation.

 

Just my 2 cents worth.

GSX..PMDG ones has a very large turn radius and it might just put u on the grass instead of taxi way

I agree that GSX is a superior push back option, and loved it when I had it installed... but ... it still conflicts with EZDOC.  Even if you set up GSX with different hotkeys to avoid the interference, EZDOC still gets randomly hammered and stops working completely with GSX usage.  I tried many things to fix the problems, but couldn't avoid the random EZDOC dropouts.  Without GSX installed, EZDOC works flawlessly for me.

 

If anyone knows a foolproof fix to allow full compatibility, please let me know.  EZDOC views are a far more important feature for me than GSX, so for now, I've opted to forego reinstalling GSX.

 

Just wanted the OP to know that GSX is a superior push back utility, but that there are still problems with EZDOC.

If you use the STRG + F12 (SHIFT + F) version, just press the combination twice again and EZDOK is working again. I know it's a bit annoying, but for me the only solution so far.
