Since 2.2 the pushback starts automatically once the tug is "connected"  (after "We'll be ready shortly"). Very slowly, but I am rolling. I also cannot continue to the next phase - the actual pushback - , neither by voice nor by button.

EDIT: Just to make it clear - since the update pushback through Pushback express is not working anymore, tried with the CRJ and the A32NX

Hi Fiorentoni,

Does the ground crew respond when you speak "We will be ready shortly"?

Is there any response when you speak "We are ready for pushback and engine start"?

Are the parking brakes set?

I have been using PBE with both the A320NX and Aerosoft CRJ successfully without issues.

Yes, up to here everything works normally. The tug connects and after a moment starts a real slow pushback, without any notice and even though my brakes are still set.

No. The same happens in "button" mode, pushing "start" and nothing happens.

Are the parking brakes set?
Yes.

Me too, before 2.2. Did you uninstall PBE before upgrading to 2.2?

Adding "PBE"

Are you hitting Shift P at any point?  

Do you have any other pushback programs installed (if so, please remove them).

It sounds like something else also trigged the pushback event.

Nope and nope. The (real slow) pushback starts even if I don't do anything after calling for "We'll be ready in a minute". It looks just as before 2.2, the tug closes in after the verbal confirmation; but then after connecting it just starts pushing back slowly.
I am getting a red error in the toolbar-menu "Warning: Command center not started blablabla" and the toolbar-menu shows all your products, even though I only have the PBE, so there might have been some installation xml error that also causes this pushback behaviour, is that possible? (command starts fine however, so I didn't worry about that red error message...)

The Command Center would have no impact.

By the way, make sure you're using the latest version... let me know if it solves the warning message you referred to:

Link:
https://downloads.fs2crew.com/fs2crew_downloads/msfs_command_center/FS2CrewCommandCenterSetup.exe

Did your issue happen in V2.1?  

Does it happen at all airport or just some?

Try it at a default airport.  I have theory about what's happening, but let me know first.

Alright, so I uninstalled PBE and the command center and reinstalled the newest version, but the problem persists (also the exe.xml red error message, by the way). Tried it on a payware, freeware and finally default airport, all the same. So what is your theory?

EDIT: By the way, if it isn't solvable right now I'd be happy if you send me a download link for PBE 2.1, so I can keep using that until it is figured out?

I have FS2Crew FBW and Pushback Express v2.2 installed. However, I cannot seem to get PBE tug to connect to the a/c. I am at EGLL and a tug is showing.

FSUIPC7 is connected and the above programs are running.

I have just started MSFS again and this time I get the error message for the Command Center.

Are you using voice control or button control?

 

Button

There was no change in 2.2 that would make any difference.

2.2 was primarily a GUI change so it match the FS2Crew FBW's GUI (user interface).

Send me a ticket via www.fs2crew.com

I'll have to see this via a remote desktop because I can't reproduce it.

I still think something else is triggering the pushback at the same time we are.  Nothing else could make your plane go slowly backwards on its own (as far as I know).

Button

 

Did you press the Yellow icon on the PBE that looks like two rings connected?

If the tug isn't moving when you press that button, something else if fighting PBE for the control of the tug.

Make sure you're not on the FBW's ground services page in their EFB when when using PBE (as it can try to control the tug), and ensure you have no other pushback programs installed on your computer that may conflict.



 

Yes, pressed the yellow icon button. Not on FBW Ground Services page as you told me about that in a previous question I asked. No other programs installed.

Also....I started MSFS and this time got the error message for the Command Center

Glyn,

We've kind of hijacked the original poster's thread here...

Just contact me directly via: www.fs2crew.com 

You can show me this via a remote desktop.

But I'm pretty sure something is overriding the tug.

Sorry, thought it was along the same lines. Will your response account for the error message too?
