Pushback doesn't turn

Featured Replies

When I pushback (Shift+P) the plane goes back in a straight line but I should be able to turn the tail by pressing 1 or 2 (on the top row of the keyboard, not the keypad), but nothing happens. Should I be pressing another key with the numbers to make it happen?Keith

Hi Keith,it should work, but there are problems with the feature, especially with add-on planes. I found reassigning pushback to a key that doesn't require pressing 'Shift' helps - the '' key is free by default, so you'd just press '+1' or '+2', and the aircraft will turn every time.Cheers,Gosta. http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg

Gosh Darn it...that works. Thanks very much.:-beerchug Keith

The pushback and taxi gauges by Rob Barendregt are very good indeed and allow you to control the pushback time, the amount of turn, any further pushback and taxi speed. They are in the file library here at avsim.
