Question about controls

Postby Blizzetta » Fri Jun 15, 2012 3:03 pm

the first day i got fsx and to this day i never figured out how you turn the plane while backing up. When you back up from your gate, how do you turn the plane?

If its anything like FS 2004, then...

Shift + P pushes the plane rearwards, quickly followed by "1" to turn the tail to the left (nose to the right), and "2" to turn the tail to the right (nose to the left).
Shift + P again will stop the aircraft movement.

Paul...FS 2004... 8-)...!

I have both FSX and FS 2004, but FS 2004 is my preferred Flight Sim, and I presume much of the controls are the same in both Sims... ;)...!

Don't forget...its a bit tricky... :)...!

Use the numbers on the top row of keys to turn the aircraft, (not the Num Pad)...

And the "1" and "2" keys have to be tapped QUICKLY immediately after pressing Shift + "P", then WAIT for it to happen!

Leave it too late to press 1 or 2, and it wont turn the aircraft! (Its timed).
Press Shift + P again to stop the process.

A little bit of practice and it will all come right...trust me!.. ;D...!

Paul...finished practicing!... ;D.. ;D...!

Just double check the keyboard commands incase it has been accidently changed.

And it's not Shift+P+1 like I always tried, give it a millisecond after letting go on Shift and P before hitting either 1 or 2.

For me, this has always worked for FS2004 and FSX installed on various computers and operating systems.

The important thing in the pushback routine is: After you start pushback with (Shift+P) DO NOT press any

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
