Wasn’t there news recently that Aerosoft was going to release the “Pushback Pro” utility on the marketplace, for both PC and Xbox users? It was supposed to be a repackaged version of the “Toolbar Pushback” or the product with a similar name, under the Pro moniker. Or with the recent turmoil at Aerosoft, this project has been canned?
On Xbox there really should be something like this, an easy-to-use yet flexible pushback utility, because the default option doesn’t work as it should, and the ground crew can’t push back aircraft to its intended position. So it would be extremely helpful to have some kind of light utility in the toolbar with which we could plan and engage a proper pushback.
Interestingly, I haven’t found any news articles on this, but I clearly remember there was a plan to do this by Aerosoft. Is it still in the making, I wonder?
Have just purchased this and gave it a test run. Unfortunately, this does not work with many jetways as tried various airports even Aerosoft own. So, hold fire until there’s a work around
Pushback works wonderfully so early days regarding the ground services. However, do have GSX Pro installed but deactivated. Maybe is conflicting with this.
But it’s weird though. How do you plan the pushback?
In the window all I can do is to drag the aircraft to a certain point, but the aircraft is not turned so it is heading the taxiway?
Can anyone test the “pre-planning” screen with an Xbox controller? How does the virtual cursor work? Is it possible to rotate the airplane, etc? Maybe with the triggers or the right stick? I know most of you use a mouse but if you have an Xbox controller you can just switch to it on the fly.
No it’s not, quite often GSX throws a wobbly or navdata isn’t present which will cause GSX not to work also this will allow you to tow forward which is pretty cool when you want to take aircraft into maintenance. It also works with GA which GSX doesnt do
So, it’s still not out on the marketplace. I wonder if there is an issue with this tool, or just the similar months of marketplace delay. The only point of this tool would be on Xbox, as PC users have better alternatives.
