For those of us who aren't familiar with the problem, what is wrong with the pushback as it exists?

I know the center point of the trucks is off, making their motion seem a little weird, but other than that?

You can checkout my application for managing push back outside of the MSFS. It uses SimConnect to communicate with the sim and manages push back without using radio communication.

does it only work with the tugs, or will it also work with the man on the forklift?

Just a question, if I am using pushback using shift-P on my GA aircraft, it will only go back in straight line. Is there any command to make it go left or right?

Yes it is working with or without both tug and forklift.

There is FS2Crew Pushback Express,but eur 25 for what it offers is ridiculous.

The ‘Better Pushback’ style editor is good, but I’d prefer not to draw it every time. It should save the route per location and or aircraft 

it does, in Xplane at least.

I have published version 2.0  with new UI. 

Download from: https://github.com/metindikbas/msfs-pushback-helper-app/releases/download/2.0/PushbackHelper_v2.0.zip

 

 

Version 1.0 worked fine for me, but not 2.0. As soon as I press Activate, it just disappears.

Yikes! Only ever used the big pushback trucks in real life, or a hand push/pulled maneuvering dolly. Never seen one of those small ones like in the pic. Do they really use those things with the prop spinning? Seems pretty dangerous to me.
