Pushback heading on FS2002

[smartalpha]

Using the FS2002, I programmed a key combination on FSUIPC with the command "Key tug heading" with no parameter. This made the plane turn the tail to right when on pushback. Good! Now, what command + parameter must I use to make the tail turn to left? Is there a command + parameter to stop the turning and resume the pushback on straight line? Thanks mr. Dowson!

Really? I thought the tug control did nothing. Maybe the parameter is the direction in degrees, so it would be relative then?

The pushback control merely starts the pushback straight back, and then pressing the 1 or 2 key selects the direction of turn. I don't know of any other way -- if you are experimenting with the tug control, please do let me know what you find out. I thought the tug controls were unused in FS.

Dear mr. Dowson

I'm writing just to give a satisfaction to you about my experiences using the "Key tug heading" and "Key tug speed" commands on FSUIPC. Well, the experience leads to nothing. :lol: I tested lot of parameters on both cases, negative ones, big one, fractional ones, but the only thing the plane did was turn the tail to the right when I requested a tug heading command. The tug speed did nothing at all, but it seems that it made the key tug heading command to stop act on a flight session. Default command SHIFT+P (+1) (+2) were not afected tough. Well, to end, I found no usefull aplications for that on the FS2002. Maybe someone try on the 2004 and find better results.

Regards!

Hmmm. I always thought they did nothing at all. Maybe I never tried them in FS2004.

Thanks for the feedback!
