Correct Push Back Procedures

[martin.lilje]

Hello all,

I would like to know if anyone can help me understand why FSX sometimes automatically turns the plane when (ctrl+p) is pressed for push back? Is ther any way of controlling the direction at all. I have tried using the rudder but all that seems to do is make the plane drift in one direction when pushing back.... it dosent turn?

Regards

Martin

Well, I don't know in FSX...but in FS9, if one pressed Shift+P and then either 1 or 2, it would swing the tail either right or left after one planes length...Dunno the case in FSX...

You could try to install rcb groundhandling for fs9. I've not tried it in fsx, but it might work.
