Wheels not rotating on pushback with AES

Featured Replies

I am sorry if this was discussed before but last night i noticed one thing. When the plane b738w was being pushed back at the KSFO by Flightbeam using AES the wheels weren't rotating at all (no, brakes were off)! haven't tried on other airports where AES is active. is this "normal" for fsx or a bug? anybody noticing that before?thnxivan

Did you have anything to do with Falcon 4.0 - Allied Force ?

If AES uses some sort of slew to move the plane, it will not rotate the wheels.

With AES, the wheels don't spin, whichever aircraft you're using. Even the nosewheel doesn't swivel

Yep, AES uses a type of slew for pushback. Not only do the wheels not turn or swivel, but the aircraft isn't registered as moving (ie. default pushback shows a 1 or 2 knot groundspeed, with AES it is still 0)
