Hi Pete. OK Thanks. So it's only available in the registered install. Is that correct. If so he will get his FSUIPC registered. Best regards, Bob.

Hi Pete. I just came across an old thread about this subject with you and Rob B: http://forum.simflight.com/topic/43768-pushback-turn-problem-and-fsuipc/ I really believe that iyou found the problem. I remember when my friend sent me copies of his log to me that there were lots of other intervening monitoring events like aileron and elevator even though there was no elevator or aileron movement. I assume that the latest non-registered version does not have the ability to interpet the pushback or exit commands when they are interupted and the registered version does. If that's the case I will recommend him to register his. Is there any particular setup to enable this function in the registered version. I don't remember ever setting anything up in my FSUIPC to do this. Is it stock? Thanks so very much. We really do appreiate the help. It's a shame that the CS team could not have notified him of this potential problem after years of searching. This explains why some who had a registered version maybe had no problem and others without a registered version did have problems. Best regards, Bob..

Hi Pete. Thanks. He has been fighting this problem for years and has never received any solution from the CS Forum. Since FSUIPC is required to run the CS727 we thought that there might be some setting in FSUIPC that would allow the turning pushback, or maybe that the registered version was required. I personally know of one of my other friends who has a registered FSUIPC and the CS 727 and he can make turning pushbacks with Shift+P-1 or 2. That's why we tried asking here. I really do appreciate all the help from you and Andy. I love FSUIPC! Best regards, Bob.

Hi Pete. Are you saying that nobody with the CS727, and either the stock registered or unregistered version of FSUIPC, should be able do a turning pushback with Shift-P-1 or Shift-P-2? Some users, including the Captain himself, have said that they can do a turning pushback by using Shift-P-1 or Shift-P-2. They made no mention of doing any changes of key asignments or FSUIPC mods. That's the mystery. Thanks for your help. Regards, Bob.

Hi all. Thanks for the replies. How is that some users can evidently use Shift-P-1 or 2 for pushback Hi Andy. I use the numbers 1-4 on the top row of my keyboard for engines, exits and pushback along with the poper other key command, and have for years. Are you saying we should use Shift-P and the num pad keys or shift -E and the num pad keys? Thanks, Bob.

I have a friend who has the Captain Sim 727. He cannot do a turning pushback with Shift-P-1 or Shift-P-2. When he tries Shift-P-1 or -2 it pushes back in a straight line. He has sent many requests to Captain Sim to solve his problem and has never received a solution. The problem has been reported by others for years and some say Shift-P-1 or -2 work but others say they don't. He has the latest unregistered FSUIPC. He can use Rob's groundhandling pushback gauge and make turning pushback in both directions. I even made him a simple pushback gauge that sends the pushback and either 1 or 2. It works fine. The animation gauge in the Captain Sim 727 sends EXIT OPEN:1 for the forward door, EXIT OPEN:3 for the rear door and EXIT OPEN:4 for the service door. If he sends these commands (Shift-E-1, Shift-E-3 or Shift-E-4) from his keyboard none of them work to operate all of the doors individually. The only door that opens is the forward door on any of the commands which by the way will open just with Shift-E, alone. I asked him to check his FSUIPC log when he uses the keyboard to try and turn and it shows the pushback and select 1 or 2 commands. Is there anything in his unregistered FSUIPC that could cause this problem. We tried playing around with several FSUIPC timing options with no avail. Rob's groundhandling gauge and the one I made work. Can there be some timing function that can be set on his FSUIPC to solve the problem?. Is there any difference between the unregistered version versus the paid version that may explain the problem? He can do turning pushbacks with Shift-P-1 or 2 on all stock and addon planes while his unregistered FSUIPC is installed. I hope I have described the problem in enough detail and described what troubleshooting we have done. Thanks, Bob.

I am a registered owner of the 4.86 Version of FSUIPC. I have a friend who has Version 4.84, unregistered, on his computer. He has the Captain Sim 727 and cannot make a pushback with Shift-P-1 or Shift P-2. It pushes straight back and does not turn. He found out that if he disables FSUIPC it works OK with no problems. If he uses the GroundHandling 5 gauge he can pushback OK with FSUIPC installed. All stock airplanes work OK on pushback with FSUIPC installed using Shift-P-1 or Shift P-2. Is there a way to setup Version 4.84 so that he can use FSUIPC with the plane and get the proper pushback? Thanks. Regards, Bob.
