I have just moved from P3D with Ultimate Ground Services X, which I loved, worked seamlessly with voice control and added enormous realism.

My 1st impressions of MSFS with Pushback Express (voice mode) are disappointing, the realism has reduced as follows:

- Pushback routes are not automatic anymore, you have to (unrealistically) control this with rudder or other options (different too from GSX in this respect which has auto pushback routes) and also have to (unrealistically) call out to stop pushback or (even worse) open the User Interface and grab your mouse (for realism I don't use a mouse nor keyboard)

- Regional accents don't change automatically as before, seems you have to select this manually

Doesn't seem a lot but, for realism, it is.  Are these going to be changed, so the product will reflect the high realism of Ultimate Ground Services X?

I hope so, as otherwise I will have to revert to GSX which I want to avoid

Pushback Express is an "express" product.  It's not meant to be UGCX and we don't advertise it as UGCX.

You might however like "Distance Mode".  What you do is place a pin and the tug will get you there automatically more or less.

We're working on a way to get it to pushback automatically without users being required to place a plan (depends in the new Airports SDK from MSFS is reliable).

Also, Pushback Express is the only "voice controlled" pushback program on the market, and ours is also the only voice control program that supports multiple languages: German, French, English and Spanish.


 

 

Thanks, because the pushback in UGCX was excellent and the more you can do to make it more realistic like UGCX the better (eg especially the automatic pushback and requesting "facing left or right" plus automatic selection of regional ground control accents depending where you are)

The more we have to fiddle around with what accent and manual pushing, the more unrealistic.

Or the other question is when can you provide a "non-express" version for MSFS, just like UGCX, I'm sure many more people are using MSFS than P3D so must be worth it.  

You are right, the voice control feature is excellent and makes for extreme realism, but these 2 areas I mention above totally go against that realism in the other direction

 

No ETA on that I'm afraid.
