Does anyone know of a way to allow the aircraft to turn its nose when pushing back for start up instead of being pushed straight back?

Yep. Press Shift+P, then immediately press either 1 or 2 depending on the desired direction of turn. It will take about 1 plane length to start turning. If you need to turn immediately, consider doing a powerback if your aircraft is capable.

It's shift+p default. Just, you know, btw.

Unless something has changed you cant steer when using power to back either. The only way is to use the shift+P and pressing 1 or 2 to turn.

Just a little side to that......

Shift+p and release,

Short applications of differential brakes and rudder works wonderfully...

...mmm...and WAIT for it..don't get anxious if it doesn't happen immediately....commoner  ;)

just press shift p to start the pushback, then to turn press 1 or 2 depending on what direction you want, to stop the pushback press shift p again. Make sure you dont press any other buttons when your doing this.

If it's a jet, you're not supposed to be using 'em

*Cough* Who, me? *cough*

why dya need to use brakes and rudder, its easy enough just using shift p and then 1 or 2

He was refering to making a nice tight turn out of the gate area, I think.
