Aerosoft Toolbar Pushback PRO is out

[edpatino 1,965]

Just to let know to those interested that the well known Toolbar Pushback now has a payware version and it's already available through the Aerosoft website. I just purchased and installed it via Aerosoft One.

Enjoy!

I bought it as well. I am in the SU15 beta so not sure if it's related but I'm getting the same erratic pre-planned pushback behaviour as the old freeware version. I think it was like this before the beta as well which is why I bought it thinking it would be fixed. This is with the stock A320. I'll check later with an empty community folder to see if I have a conflict

[mobeans10 197]

No luck with the empty community folder. Unless it's a beta thing I would strongly advise not to buy. I've basically paid $10 for the same performance as the free version with a slightly modified interface.  Hopefully this will get fixed.

I must be easy to please as I have been using the built in PMDG or Fenix or FBW on-board pushback things and they have been fine for me. The only need for a third party pushback would be for the 787's and stuff but I'd just use that other one on TO. I'm a simple kind of guy but I appreciate the need for further interaction.

[mobeans10 197]

The built in pmdg pushback is very good and self contained so no need for an external tool. However I find myself flying the stock A320 for the most part and was hoping they'd improved on the freeware version. Doesn't look like they did anything but slight changes to the UI. 

[mobeans10 197]

At present I'm getting erratic push backs using the pre planned mode. Other users are reporting that the issues may be with the SU15 beta and rolling back fixes everything. Not going to roll back so I'll just wait and see what happens when the beta goes live.

That can't be right, surely?!

Automatic modes for pushback and for tow forward aren't available?

There was a request for flight simmers of various nationalities to help with ground handler voicepacks. Aren't they present?

Don't understand how any dev can release it unfinished and practically unchanged and have the temerity to charge €10.

[mobeans10 197]

Automatic modes are available, just erratic for me right now. You're correct, tow forward is an additional capability. I don't see anywhere in the menu to select regional voice packs. I thought that was supposed to be automatic but I had the same voices when flying in Japan.  So basically, other than the tow forward it's pretty much the same as the freeware version. I could be missing something though.  I think being in the beta is causing my issues with the pre planned push backs. Manual mode is just fine but so was the free version.

Very disappointed. Also erratic push backs saw on Youtube it could be fixed be pressing word not allowed P but why ! Can't either get it to work in VR not able to start after planned pushback

Aerosoft always delivers and never disappoints.

8 out of 10 pushbacks had problems
6 times pre planned didnt work

2 times it didnt even start

2 worked

A clear warning to everyone who wants to buy it.

please mark irony/sarcasm very clearly! Some people could think you mean that serious! 😉

For those people having trouble with the functioning of the Toolbar Pushback please remember there's a manual included in the folder when you download the application. It contains a lot of useful information

[mobeans10 197]

@edpatino Have you noticed any improvement over the previous free version other than the tow forward? I assume your not in the beta ?  I'm in the beta and accept my issues are probably related to that but having said that I don't see much advance over the freeware.

No, I only purchased the product yesterday afternoon and had a meeting afterwards that took me until late night. I'll try it today and will comment my findings. I'm reading over the manual anyway, which comes with lots of useful information.

I'm not in the SU15 Beta.
