Hi Manuel

Thanks to your team for releasing 1.7.

I was really hoping that you would have done something though about the truck disappearing immediately after the push back operation is complete. The whole push back thing is such a great experience, and then the sudden disappearance of the truck and crew really spoils it. I would have thought it's quite easy to fix this. Either tying it in to the aircraft speed like I suggested above, or at least just a straight timer. Usually it takes a few minutes to do the checklists, wait for taxi clearance, etc, so would be good to have the truck stick around for at least 5 minutes......

I hope this is added to the next version.

Thanks

Like a timeout to wait until the user's aircraft is a bit far away?.....mmm... sounds not difficult...i think we can do that.

Yes. Say, 10 minutes from the time the pushback sequence is completed. Or another way might be to wait for the airplane to reach 20 knots. By this time it should be well out of the apron area, and the truck can happily disappear. 🙂

On the other hand, IRL this is how it happens :DD a pb truck is gone in nanoseconds.

Especially during rush hour, but current "events" make your suggestion valid 😄
