So, I forgot the 3rd variation of what the first part of your message could mean, the pushback into the building ?
If you meant that, there's no difference with earlier GSX, since the issue is caused by the fact it doesn't know anything about the outside scenery except the AFCAD, and this is of course how GSX has always been.
If you are sure it used to take a different route at this specific airport in that specific parking, it's possible the AFCAD of the scenery itself has been updated in the meantime.

Which has been discussed so many times already on the forum, and it was clearly explained on the GSX manual, the "custom pushback" option at Page 21.
--- Quote ---So, if i understand you correct, i have to check EVERY Scenery and EVERY Position at EVERY Airport if GSX works correct?

You haven't understood me at all. In fact, I said exactly the opposite, that GSX normally works everywhere with no modifications.
You only need to customize a parking WHEN the default pushback direction, as defined by the scenery developer in the AFCAD, will take you into some scenery object which, GSX cannot possibly know about without having to fully decompile the whole scenery in memory, which is not obviously feasible.
So, it's no that you have to "check everything", simply customize a parking WHEN you encounter a problem. Not more involved than taking the time to make a screenshot of it, and post it here. You should post it here as a possible issue, only AFTER you encounter a problem you CANNOT fix using the supplied customization tools, which are there for a reason: so you can use them.
Here, an explanation of what custom pushback can do, to replicate a somewhat unusual pushback procedure:
http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,11083.0.html
This is for a custom pushback point.
In case you are simply dealing with a scenery where all parkings were mistakenly set as "None" pushback preference by the author, the solution is usually MUCH easier:
- open the "parking customization" dialog.
- click the ROOT node (the one with the airport ICAO) on the left side list. This will select ALL parkings at once
- select "BOTH" as Pushback direction and Apply the changes.
This will enable Left/Right directions for ALL parkings at once, with 3 clicks, only done for the first time you ever fly that scenery.

But that exatly means what i say, that i have to check every Gate at every Airport. Because
if i did not that i can be pushed into a Building or something.
So i have to check that BEVORE i use GSX at a Gate.
I understand, that you can not check ever Scenery from every developer.
But if a user has a Problem at a Airport and Reports this here , you can fix that and include it
in any next Update.
That remains GSX working, as describet, on EVERY Airport.

No, you don't. You are *assuming* that being pushed into a building it's a common outcome, but it's not. It only becomes an issue at some parkings, usually the first or the last of a terminal close to a building.
The ONLY time customization is really needed, is the first parking of a terminal when (for example), Left will place you with the nose in front of a wall, and Right will place the airplane tail IN a building.
It's not that we don't know how to design sceneries and, when we do customization for our own sceneries, we usually find that, out of 100+ parkings a typical FSDT airport has, maybe 4-5 needs pushback customization. OF COURSE, we also take care not to set the "Left/Right" preference wrong (or worse, set to "None"), which usually fix most of the issues, but that's really easy to do for you as well (as I already explained)
So, it's only AFTER you encounter such parkings, you might need to have a look at the customization options which, as I've said, it's something you ALREADY did, right now. You encountered what you thought to be a problem, and AFTER you encountered it, you spent some time taking a screenshot and posting a message, when you could simply tried to customize the parking instead.

As I've said, report what you think it's a "problem" ONLY when you CANNOT fix it with the customization features provided by GSX, which are there so you can use them.

Which obviously does:
- Pushback it's just one of the many features GSX has
- On any given airport, potentially problematic parkings that requires customization are a very small percentage, and GSX gives you all the means to fix them when you encounter one.
