Pushback Express. A very lite version of gsx. You can control the pushback better than default and have basic interaction with ground crew.

A worthwhile alternative if you don't need all the functionality of the other payware option. Goes on sale fairly frequently, so even better then.

Yea, perfect, KISS principle in action. This is all I need and will do the trick.

I can relate to this. It's kinda strange/annoying to see an Airbus A320 being filled with hand loaded bags/suitcases rather then containerized cargo which is used on the A320.
However not sure if it's a limitation related to the model since the Headwind A330 uses containerized cargo,

A few thoughts, 1) you can tell GSX if you want to use cans or not for baggage for your aircraft and 2) in many parts of the US, the 320 does not use cans, this is probably airline specific.  Now that I think of it, of the last real life 8 320 flights I have done over the last 16 months - none used cans.  Here is an image of my most common commuter flight Alaska

100% airline specific.  Air Canada for instance does use containers on them. LD45's I think they are.

I'd say it's US-specific. In Europe everybody uses containers on the A320 AFAIK.

not only GSX allows to very easily customize the kind of loaders (and container types) for each airplane, but it’s even possible to have individual customization files BY AIRFRAME, to simulate different options depending on airline choices.

It's abandoned and has a severe memory leak. It's also worse than GSX as a pure pushback tool in that you have to draw your path and exact position instead of telling the driver "nose left".

I've turned off all the additional features, like voice and lift, and I have no problems with it at all, even with the Fenix A320.

Hmm, negative. Easyjet for instance, is one of the largest 320 operators and their fleet is 100% bulk loaded. Pretty much only flag carriers use containerized A320s in Europe, low-cost, holiday and charter airlines mostly do not.

No issues here with memory leaks. I run high settings with AI and such.

'nose left' doesn't work with every airport, it depends on how the parking spot is shaped. Plus you can use the rudders to steer the plane when being pushed back if you don't want to automate it.

I changed the options on the customize aircraft screen to have GSX use ULDs and loaders for the A320s for the same reason. You should too,  if that's what you want.

Pushback without GSX.
This freeware works very good !! (also pre-planned)

Ok, thanks for the replies, just had a quick look and will look more closely at it when I have more time.

I tried it and then uninstalled it. Got terrible stutters and I had to disable it for my add-on airports. Regret buying it.

Something not right then in your install and configuration.

That is certainly not the case. 

Two examples that immediately come to mind:
- Wizzair 
- Brussels Airlines: no longer using ULDs on their narrow body fleet 

Flop here. I bought it right when it was released and struggled with it ever since. Uninstalled it today, pity I loved GSX in P3D and was soo looking forward to the MSFS version.
