As this is my first airliner for 10 years, could someone recommend a pushback tool for the Fenix A320 please.  Is there any other app you would recommend for this 10 year GA guy?

Fenix really cheated their way into the flight sim scene using Prosim. Very smart move but unfair to the other developers ... too bad no one ever had that idea before, I guess people never even bothered to take the initiative thinking a company like Prosim would never accept such a deal. This one move is single reason they have been able to achieve what they've done. They started with a simulator already made and already superior to PMDG, so they had all their time to focus on visuals and make everything perfect as possible.

Not  "cheating" ,just a smart business move.

What? "Unfair"? Are you serious?

Normally I'd say Toolbar Pushback, but a lot of people have serious FPS problems with it. There's always Pushback Express (PBE) by FS2Crew, which also enables you to precisely do planned pushbacks - but not as "smooth" like Toolbar Pushback with a map. I use PBE as long as Toolbar Pushback has these problems.

I wasn't aware that there was a Geneva convention governing what is and isn't appropriate for developing add-ons for a flight sim.  You're welcome to not buy it.

Tool Pushback works fine for me, no FPS problems at all.

Hmmmm... that could have been more useful. Turn down your settings to the point where the FPS are acceptable then report to the world.. "See, not bad!". But we'll know soon enough. Fingers crossed. 🤞

I didn't notice anything "big", too, but then again I use 100% AIG traffic and/or VATSIM, so FPS will tank anyway on big airports [with the FBW or the 737]. So hard to say, how much or if any at all Toolbar Pushback adds to this. There are too many factors at work in MSFS.

I don't use AIG or Vatsim, and Tool pushback has zero effect on FPS for me. 

In a not too long future I hope :

 

My favorite is the IAE

I guess I’m one of the few who doesn’t think the price is a “steal” but rather a spot on price point. If it were much higher, I’d probably pass on it no matter how epic it’s going to be. 

@Hatch76 Most of us have been brainwashed by the ridiculous addon price inflation that P3D bought about

I paid $60 for the A2A Connie years ago. Next to that, the A320 is a steal.

Well, some of us paid 90 euros for the MSFS Maddog
