When you pushback from a parking spot in 2009, how do you turn as you back up. I know that there are some keys that you use but I just can't find them. Help!  :(

Thanks,   DB

Push Shift-P to start the pushback and then 1 or 2 for left or right. Use the 1 and 2 on the keyboard. Not the numberspad....

Crash

Hi DeeBee,

Once they have been pressed it can take up the length of the plane itself in distance for the turn to begin.

Keep in mind there are some payware aircraft that this method will not work. 8-)

Thanks Pilots,   I tried 1 and 2 buttons but didn't know it took the length of the plane for the turn to initiate.  Thanks fellows, I'll give it a try, I know it will work.

Thanks again,     DB

Just little tip:

Make sure you don't press any botton but 1 or 2 after Shift-P

Here is what I always do:
Press Shift-P. Wait for about 3 seconds - just to avoid it turns too early and crash the aircraft parked next to you, then press 1 or 2. Then the aircraft will turn

Just my 2 cents...

One other thought there are gauges that you can put into any airplane that takes out all of the work for you it even has a taxi speed control.
Of course most people do not want to mess with or might not know how to add a gauge to a aircraft as unless you have a program to help you getting the numbers correct can be a real pain in the you know where 8-)
