Can replicate (SU4). I guess if this option is set to OFF there should not be a pushback tug:

I didn’t know you can disable them globally. I always edit aircraft.cfg file and change pushback to 0.

After some tests with the options “Airport Services Quantity/Variety”:

Those options are only related to the vehicles moving around the airport:

There is not an option to disable vehicles used for ground services that serve your aircraft.

Moved to User Support Hub since not a bug.

Yes, there is in aircraft.cfg. It works for me with all 3rd party planes bought outside of marketplace.

Good to know there is a workaround for 3rd party aircraft bought outside of marketplace.
Nevertheless there is no option in the FS2024 settings that could impact all aircraft.
