X-Plane 12/Pushback( not April fool)

Featured Replies

😅I love it! 738 request pushback

738 stand by, pushback is under way

Here comes a lady voice: no pushback srvice available!!! hahaha

I wait a minute or two and here comes the truck!

Isn't there another better add-on for pushback within X-Plane 11/12?

This also annoys me to no end. Why doesn't XP just spawn a pushback truck if none are available? And why the heck does it say that none are available, just to send a truck anyway when I am in the middle of my reverse powered pushback?

I always prefer to use native pushback solutions, as external plugins are always incompatible with specific planes that I use.

But there is a solution although in real life it would cost your pilot license immediately! Switch engine full power on reverse for few meters! hahahahaha! It does the trick and it specially nice in very wet gate!

Nothing that I haven't seen been doing IRL JP 🙂

Actually it appears the props, like the DC-6, did it operationally! I learned about that when I bought the PMDG DC-6 for MFS 2020...

very few aircraft are certified for using reversers to push back. Some DC9 and 727 variants were I think about the last. And even fewer airports allow(ed) it because of the noise.

I've marshalled DC-9's, 727's, Saab 340's in powerbacks. I even did a 737-200 once. That was not the best idea I ever had. We spent a few hours cleaning up the ramp.
