I have a problem when i push back. Does the game mean press the 1 and 2 buttons beneath the F1 and F2 buttons to turn? When I press them, sometimes the plane turns and sometimes it doesn't. please help. thanks

It has always seemed to me that the aircraft in FS2002 do not turn when I press the buttons, but others here at SimV say that to turn the aircraft, you have to hold the 1 or 2 button for a full length of the aircraft.  Try that.  If all else fails, search here or on another site for "Pushback Gauge".  You can add it to any panel, and it automatically performs a pushback for you, using timed controls.  There is also a taxispeed gauge that is a part of the pushback controls.  It sets your taxispeed so you don't have to mess with the throttle while taxiing.  Sort of like cruise control.

Some people have claimed that when pushing back, you have to stay in the same view and not change it. I'm not sure about this.

To push back, you do use the 1 and 2 keys just below F1 and F2, after pressing shift+P. I've never really have many problems with it..... Pressing shift+P and then 1 (or 2) immediately usually gets me pushed back and turned around ready for taxi.

Keyword: USUALLY! Not always....!

like the others said yes its under F1 and F2.
you need to press them instantly after you press shift+P
and it will take the length of the aircraft to turn, thus the bigger the plane the longer the wait, dont hold onto 1 or 2 a simple press should work, and dont push anything else on the keyboard while you wait
hope helps some

Ok. Thanx a lot guys!!!
