Pushback steering

[moops]

       According to M$  to steer during pushback you are to press"1" for left  and "2" for right or vise versa I cant remember. Well whenever I try to steer during push the aircraft never turns. Does anyone else have this problem?

Yea i have it as well, i thought it was just my fs9.

It sucks because you have to do a full U-turn after you pushback.

It's a little confusing at first.

To turn the tail to the left you have to do "shift" + "p." Shift is depressed, hit the "p" with shift down, then release. Then immediately hit 1 after that.

To turn the tail to the right you have to do "shift" + "p." Shift is depressed, hit the "p" with shift down, then release. Then immediately hit 2 after that.

Hitting the opposite number will turn the aircraft in the other direction while in reverse. It takes a couple of seconds to respond. Just remember to hit the number 1 or 2 just once between turns.

Hittiing shift + p again will stop all reverse.

Hope that made sense.

Cheers,

Gus

Heya Folks,

Here's how I do a manual Pushback with the keyboard:

1.)  Press Shift + P
2.)  Let the aircraft roll backwards for about 15 seconds then
3.)  Press and hold down the 1 key to have the aircraft turn left or the 2 key for the aircraft to turn right.  Once the aircraft begins turning you can release the 1 or 2 key.

I have become accustomed to using the excellent Pushback Gauge and Taxi Speed Panel by Rob Barendregt.  Just search for RCBgh-32.zip.  It's a must have!!

Initiate pushback with Shift+P.

All correct answers, I'll sum them up-press 1 or 2 immediately folloiwng shift+p.  You don't have to hold anything down, you can give any commands you want after, just press 1 or 2 immediately after shift+p.  That's all.  ;)
