Pushback by buttons


Recommended Posts

Hi Pete,

 

I'm using the offset 31F4 to have the pushback managed with buttons through a VB program.

 

Everything seems to be Ok, but there is a significant delay when I write the right/left direction: the aircraft starts to move to the selected site not just after the press of the button, but after some time of delay.

 

No delay going straight or stopping the pushback.

 

Is this the normal behavior or am I missing something?

 

Thanks and kind regards

It is the way the built-in FS facility works.  When you choose pushback, turn to left or right, it moves back straight for one aircraft length before it starts turning. FS has ALWAYS done this, as far as remember (back as far as FS98 maybe). I suppose it is designed to allow you to select the direction directly, with the aircraft just moving out enough to clear the parking positions to either side.
