Headwind A330neo-900

[RW1 615]

Has anyone had luck using the 330 Neo(great aircraft) and PBE. I'm doing everything correctly! Works perfect with FBW 320 and other aircraft. The tug engages and all the voice commands are normal but the tug will not push back.

If i swap to default pushback it works. I've done all the work through solving tasks but still won't do it. Brakes off.. Engines off... No chocks. Not Push....

Is the 330 Neo a 3rd party plane?

Yes it is. https://flightsim.to/file/18198/airbus-a330-900neo-conversion All good Bryan. In my old age i just had a moment. PBE only works with default and FBW. Should've known that.

Generally PBE should work with anything, but who ever built that airplane may have done something really "non-standard" in the coding departure (I suspect a custom variable for the parking brake).  I don't have that plane, so it's hard to tell.

Also, that plane may model chocks (I think).  Make sure they're out.

Yeah it does model chocks but they are removed when the brakes are released. I will msg the developer and see what the go is. I see nothing in the CDU options for them so it's a mystery. All Good 

EDIT: Solved. Some smart coding by the developers here. So if anyone gets stuck like I did. Chocks are tied to the Beacon also. So you need all fuel pumps on for APU, Park brakes off and beacon on for the PBE to function. Otherwise everything is standard airbus flows. Really looking forward to this maturing. It's shaping up to be another fantastic community freeware.

Don't worry it will, at this moment we can't give an estimate neither details, but, we are working on a strong subsystem which will allow many cool things to happen later on, and we are taking our time to do it "right" from the beginning. We are basicly taking out some cool stuff from UGCX and introducing them into PBE, and adding even more cool stuff, but as you may know -> "cool stuff" = "some analysis and code" = "a little of time", so stay tuned 😅.

Cheers,

Manuel

Ermm I was referring to the A330-900.....  Really looking forward to this maturing. It's shaping up to be another fantastic community freeware.

Thanks for the update anyway Manuel. I'm hoping for wing walkers and push tug anywhere feature. 😎
