March 13, 20188 yr Since I brought this theme at another thread which is dedicated to the FF vs FSL Airbus comparison and it doesn't belong there, I decided to open this new thread... I usually run P3D or XP11 at the minimum possible scenery settings, no autogen or trees in P3D, scenery # of objects to the lowest in XP11. In P3D the effect is acceptable since it doesn't kill the buildings / gates at the ( default ) airports, while in XP while on ground I have to increase the scenery complexity to the least required to get buildings... But, how do I get jetways when my aircraft is placed at a gate ? And how do I get a pushback tug in XP11 ? If the default doesn't support this, what freeware add-ons do you use ? Thx for any hints!

March 13, 20188 yr For the push back tug, I would recommend the freeware plugin Better Pushback. It allows you to preselect the pushback path exactly where you want and it will automatically take over.

March 14, 20188 yr Author Using BetterPushback - really the Best ! And Free !!!!

March 14, 20188 yr I heard that BetterPushback is really awesome. Just for the sake of completeness - there is a built-in pushback feature in X-Plane. You can request pushback through the "Flight/Show ground handling window" menu (default shift-g). Once requested, they will send a push-back truck - note that you need to have a pushback truck available at that airport. Scenery designers can either place them, or if you have a ramp start type "gate", X-Plane will place them automatically. Cheers, Jan
March 14, 20188 yr Author Yes Jan, after my initial post I explored the default pushback facility in XP11, but it can't compare in functionality with this superb FREE "BetterPushback" plugin. Together with the very basic but well designed and functional 124thATC robot plugin, and the FF A320, I am back in Airliner Pilot Wannabe mode :-) Ah! I didn't forget about the iXeg 737, another must-have, but my budget succumbed with the acquisition of the FF A320 so, it'll have to wait for the next slot...
