Hey there,

Wondering how feasible or if these suggestions would make sense?

• Instead of using navigational directions for push back (east, west, southeast, southwest), can it be left and right for the sake of simplicity? Often times I'm at gates where I'm in between some, and the direction I'm pretty positive I should be facing, UGCX thinks it's something else. Having to focus on whether or not to say tail southwest (which then the panel when I pull it up really means facing northeast) is much more difficult to figure out than just saying "tail to the left". Would at least love for this to be an option vs mandatory. This is the one of the things I think GSX does well to keep simple.
   
• Is there a way to always have UGCX select the option "Computer designed pushback" by default? I'm not picky in how it pushes back as long as I'm facing the right direction (see above...), so I will rarely, if ever, have a need to design a custom pushback. This would be helpful of having less options to select through and allow me to get on with the pushback faster. 
   
• This may be more of a thing for GSX, but since winter operations are coming up (and already here in some cases of the country), I don't think there's a way to silo de-icing in GSX only so I can still use UGCX as pushback still. Curious if you know a work around for that.
   
• Would it be possible to, similar to do via GSX, to allow the menu to appear under 10,000 feet, particularly for gate selection? I loved this about GSX because it enhanced the realism of landing and already having the gate selected so I can just go straight to it. Here, I have to wait to land, taxi (as well as do other things with the aircraft), and then sift through the gate options before I can go to it. I have much more time to do that in the air than I do when I'm actually on the ground. 

Excellent suggestions !!

Good suggestions!

Remember, UGCX is brand new, we have tons of time to bring in new ideas.

#2 you can already do... Just use the keyboard shortcut.

Cheers,

 

Great ideas , I tend to use custom pushbacks most of the time thou.. because of the way some airport AFCADs are designed the computer pushbacks can look a little odd.

Is it safe to assume this'll be in an update? 😄

At some point in the future probably.  We have a lot of things to add.  We can't do them all at once 🙂
