Hi, 

First of all thank you for this tool. I did everyhting according to manual, however, the pushback truck doesn't move when pressing the pushback button. I wait for over 2 minutes, but it doesn't move. Jetway and door buttons work. Any advice?

PS: I am using MSFS 2020

Thanks 

Kind regards, Philipp

Did you release the parking brake?  I suspect not.

yes after he is saying to release the parking brake i release it but the truck doesn't move either.

I tried it on different airports with different airplanes, so far nothing, also with different procedures (rudder, window) - nothing

If you press Shift P does the tug move?

ok i found out what the problem was. I assigned a joystick key to set parking brake. If using this joystick key, the pushback truck doesn't work. I released the parking brake with the mouse and now it works. Same when the pushback stops. If I set the parking brake with the joystick key, the truck doesn't disconnect form the aircraft. However, if setting the parking brake with the mouse, it works. Any advice why this is happening?

Thanks

Glad you got it sorted 😉

It sounds like a weird bug in FS2020.

So, as you say, just use the mouse to control the parking brake.

Cheers,

Hey, Biermuskel,

I think this can be fixed. During alpha version, we kinda had issues with rudder pedals, that was similar to this. The parking brake is being currently catched by an event, seems like the joystick is not transmitting this event. These are some of the other developers has been seeing with the new fs2020, some stuff works and some others don't. But this can be fixed by just monitoring the parking brakes state as we do with rudders, we will be fixing this.
