Hi,

 

After a long time, I returned to MS FSX, and decided to fly with my all time favorite Boeing 777-300ER. I downloaded POSKY Singapore airline package from simviation(Link:http://simviation.com/1/download?file=SIA_773ER_FSX.zip&fileId=49898).

 

 

I did this:

 

1. I loaded the aircraft at a gate.

 

2. Since it is placed too front to the gate, I used push back(Shift + P) to align correctly with the line. The Posky push back tug appeared when i turned on the push back and went off when i turned the push back off. (Note : I used the native FSX push back option and not the POSKY push back)

 

3. I saved the simulation so that i could resume after a couple of hours.

 

4. Once I loaded the save point, i could see that the push back tug was in the nose gear and did not disappear even when i pressed Shift + P

 

5. It appears till I take off and get my gears inside.

 

6. Even during touch down at the runway, the push back tug appears.

 

I am literally clueless what is causing the tug to appear, I have tried my best to sort it down, but in vain.

 

So guys, please help me out with this issue. Am I the only one who has this issue??

 

Request help from you guys to sort this issue. It is horrible to see this mighty bird takeoff with the Push back tug. 

I'll give it a try and see what happens.  So it's the POSKY tug that's stuck to your nose wheel?  Does

 

it happen only with this "Saved" flight and not with a new flight?

Yes charliearon, the POSKY tug is making problem. When I select a new flight, no problem appears, I select pushback and the tug appears and it goes off when I disable.

 

Once I save and reload the scenario, the tug appears

I agree!  I was looking for a way to disable the POSKY tug from showing up.  I was not successful at doing that.

 

I think the vehicles are part of the model.  I also noticed that a default tug would also try to pushback along

 

with the POSKY tug.  It's unfortunate that the "Saved" flight is the only time this happens.

Thanks for looking into this issue charliearon. Let me know if you get a solution.

I noticed one thing that, if I dont use the pushback during new flight and saved it, during reloading, the tug does not appear.

 

Don't know whether there is a way to remove the tug

Ignore my previous comment....It is appearing once you load a savegame 

Since it hasn't been mentioned, what happens if you use the POSKY panel to turn it off? It is located in a panel window.

I tried that and it never disappeared!  Found several older posts about this very situation and it all boiled down to

 

the tug is embedded in the model.  I may take 1 more look to see if I can massacre the model a bit!

Why don't you just slew if the aircraft isn't positioned correctly? That's the proper way to do it.

 

Cheers!

What happens if you switch from the FSX model to the FS 9 model or visa versa?

 You might try experimenting with the animation control files found in panel/posky777.  Specifically there is one called PKY_PB_Towhead.xml.  See what happens if you rename it (so that it ends in something other than xml).  If this turns out to be the correct file, you will probably lose all availability of the towing tractor, but that might be better.  It also looks like the file might be modifiable to stop the tractor from appearing during pushbacks.

 

Not at my FS computer right now, so can't experiment myself.

Several experiments with the xml files in PKY_Util and POSKY777 folders didn't work. Also, I'm unable to reproduce this issue,

but using a 777-200ER (FSX model). However, turning of GSU1 switch in the POSKY Utility panel by clicking on it makes the

tractor disappear even during FSX Shift-P pushback.

One thing I noticed is that, If I completely delete the panel folder and replace it with another panel(737-800 panel), the problem does not occur. By the way the tug appears when I enable pushback but it does not appear after loading the savepoint

Now I'm 100% percent sure that the problem is with the panel folder(not the model), but cannot figure out which file is causing it.

Reload the flight with CTRL+; then the TOW Pushback will disappear.
