Pushback express from fs2crew... my opinion and question..?

this addon was supposed to change the way we can handle pushback, unfortunately for me it’s a joke … rudder control ??? the only acceptable mode is with arrows … BUT, I thought they would implement a NEW pushback animation system, new tractor models, NO! all is the same from Asobo- animation is faulty, connection is jumpy, stiff turns, and generally not very professional. So far, the best pushback that is available is Better Pushback for xp … brilliant in its simplicity and use - you set the target destination and you do not care about anything else, and you as a pilot have time to start the engines and other activities.
A question for all of you on the forum, does anyone here have the knowledge and ability to do something like Better Pushback for MSFS ??? - amen :slight_smile:

Advice for next time: don’t buy an addon because it was released. I already thought this 25 was overpriced because we already have pushback, and the trailer showed the same stuff as default. I’ve heard of BetterPushback for XP, never used it but it sounds good.
Anyways, I don’t think the SDK/knowledge of the sim is there yet to make a different global pushback addon. But who knows.

IMO its a lazy job done and a ripoff.

Exactly, no animations whatsoever, imaginary pushback truck, digital rudder input, etc…
worth maybe 10 dollars at best for me

Thank god my russian friend let me try it first before sale in his russian computer : )

At least FS2crew created healthy environment for their competition :slight_smile: Which is good for us simmers

So, I`m asking loudly one more…

Despite all that was said on here beforehand by numerous people, I can only hope that even if it’s only for one person, a lesson has been learnt here.

Some devs are just hoping to make quick money.

If you guys have Spad.Next, I have a switch panel profile that can do the exact same thing.

I binded it to the starter knob of my switchpanel, but with a little modification you can also control pushback with rudder pedals.

Leaving it here, if anyone has spad.next and looking for a free alternative

I bought it. I have no problems whatsoever. It’s a little pricey, but these developers have never been cheap over the years. It does what it’s supposed to do. I have full rudder control, all the buttons work, and I think it’s a big improvement over the default option.

The only reason I bought it is because I like to fly tubeliners, and this gives me better control of pushbacks.

I don’t like the voices though. Other than that, no problems, stable addon, and if you’re into jets at big airports, this may be a worthwhile purchase.
