Toolbar Pushback has reached a wonderful milestone: one hundred thousand downloads! Thatās an insane amount considering that this add-on was launched in May of this year.
In order to celebrate this, AmbitiousPilots teamed up with LatinVFR for a giveaway of 5 copies of the wonderful Airport Regional Environment X. AREX enhances your sim with much more realistic and detailed ground service vehicles, working perfectly together with Toolbar Pushback.
To enter, check out this tweet containing all details. Best of luck!
At this point we would like to say thank you to all of you using and celebrating Toolbar Pushback and to those who actively support this add-on by spreading the word, providing translations and giving feedback, and flightsim.to for continuously providing the downloads to this awesome community.
Also a huge shout-out to the content creators that keep using and mentioning Toolbar Pushback in their videos and streams!
@Zireael4178 You can use the mouse scroll wheel when hovering over the Toolbar Pushback UI window to change the tug speed. Custom controls are planned for a future update.
Not sure if this has been asked but is there any possibility for you to add a pre-plan function such as with BetterPushback in XP?
Otherwise, very nice mod. Canāt think of not using it.
Having this app available when needed is like having a 911 operator at your fingertips.
Yesterday I was sitting at KLGB trying to learn a new aircraft I just purchased (and highly recommend BTW) the P-38L from Flying Iron. It is a bit more of a challenge to get these old Turbo Supercharged engines to perform properly and there is a little learning curve but as Iām sitting in the cockpit going through the checklists and now ready for taxi I notice thereās no tug outside and nothing in my comms to bring up Ground Services and my AC is sitting directly in front of a hangar with no way to move.
I quickly call up Toolbar Pushback and within seconds Iām pushed away from the building and ready to roll on my own. Except since there was no tug available I never saw anything attached to my AC and when I āstopped pushbackā I never ādisconnectedā from the tug.
So there I am with my brand new (80 year old) Yippee bird engines throttling with properly feathered props and not moving. Going nowhere. I look over to my second monitor and see the Toolbar Pushback lit up with the green āTugā. Of course you canāt fix stupid and you canāt taxi with a tug connected. Anyway thatās my story and I really enjoy this free app. Thank you to the creator.
add working perfectly but im not getting any of the interactive sounds on my system. I have enabled it on the features options, but still not audio form the ground coming through.
Checked its named correctly in my community folder. There is the correct time delay so the seems to think the audio is playing. Any suggestions
This really is an extremely useful and easy mod. I use it on every flight. I have even recorded my own voice as the āpilotā and all is going great. Thank you very much for your work and efforts on this.
Well, the sound packs are just .WAV files. So I would think youāll need to record yourself (or have someone else) record the voices with the accents you want. And save them with the same file names and replace it.
Thx, but I want to use more different sound packs, like in better pushback in XP11 or in AES for FSX and not just only one.
Also it seems that in the game the āSound AIā is used to generate the sounds from Toolbar Pushback, I am not hearing the .wav files from toolbar pushback folder. Also during pushback there is this text ā[Missing Audio] Ready to pushā¦ā when there is talking with the ground gews.
edit
Ahh I guess I forgot to execute the Batch file, cause Iāve the sim in german.
Yes, voice packs will be supported soon. Thatās been a highly requested feature.
And @Wickeman99, thatās indeed an essential step to run the batch file to enable the voices. Info about this you can find in the readme file inside the add-on folder.
Sometimes the interactive audio and all of that extra interaction will just not work. And the app will act as if those settings are off. I havenāt found any rhyme or reason for it but I have disabled then enabled it and it doesnāt fix it. Just some feedback.
