I am having problems turning during pushback. Is it possible to turn during pushback in FSX, or is this not possible.

Regards,
John

In my FS 2004 Pushback is achieved by pressing Shift + P, then quickly pressing either 1 or 2 (not the on the Numpad!).
Pressing 1 will turn the tail to the left (you point right), 2 will turn the tail to the right (you point left).
WAIT a while for the response! (patience!).

The craft will turn 90 degrees.

Press Shift+ P again to stop the operation!

Give that a try!

Hi Paul, I have tried this many times but nothing seems to happen. I will try again just in case I am not waiting long enough. I noticed that in the key commands I have for FS2004 keys 1&2 are mentioned, however with FSX they are not. Anyway, I will try again to be sure and see if it works.

Regards,
John

Hi John,

It's the same in FSX, check outside view first, as Paul put, press 1 or 2 but wait, it's not instant response so best to press 1 or 2 quickly after shift + P or you may run out of room - or into the 747 that some ^&*$^$ has parked behind you!

regards

Steve

So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs, but that is due to change

like to 'Pushback' huh. the only one, very best solution is to download Ron Baredregt Pusback Gauge & System.

it's very realistic, many features and you'll end up installing it on all your aircraft.

go to search, put in Rob Barendregt and go to Pushback version 5.

Follow his detailed instructions.

you will love it.

Hi Again, I have been trying this thing for a while now and on different aircraft. It does work as you said Paul but not very reliable and not very good. More 747’s than correct. I think I will try the Rob Barendregt Pushback V5 mentioned by Coalpedlar and see what happens then.

Default Pushback:
I haven't tried it in my FSX, John.
I mostly use FS 2004, and it works a treat in that...
(Lots of things work a treat in FS2004. That's why I love it to bits!!... Kiss

...)...

...!

It just needs a little patience, after various key presses, to observe the effect... Wink

Paul.... Cool

Hi Paul, Yes for these types of things FS2004 did seem much better and worked well, whereas in FSX some things are not quite the same. I am running WinXP and I don’t know if that makes any difference. Maybe it’s time to go to Windows 7. By the way, I have just tried the Rob Barendregt Pushback V5 and that works fine. The only thing is you have to modify the Panel.cfg on each aircraft. Not big deal I suppose but it would be better if the job was done in FSX, but just the same it’s a nice ADDON to try. Anyway, going flying…
