Astonishing! GSX keeps getting better and better with this version. Really enjoying it and appreciate the ease with which jetways can be added and things moved around.

I wonder if you would consider a future development that would add even more realism to GSX. At some airports like Melbourne (YMML) between Piers C and D and B and C aircraft get pushed back from the gate then all the way past the end of Pier C or B, then are turned with nose facing West at that position and they start engines there because of engine blast.

Is that type of pushback something you would consider for the future?

This has always been possible since several years. Check the "Custom Pushback" customization option explained at pages 32-33 of the manual.

You'll have to check with ADE for the coordinates of an existing node that can be used as an attractor target for the custom pushback, and set its coordinates in the custom pushback fields in GSX, which can also have a custom label, since "Left" or "Right" won't have any meaning in that case.

Hipshot:
OK. I will look that up and give it a try.

Hello,

i am also struggeling with that, as example in EDDF Gate C4.
Even, if the Direction in the setup is wrong ( left/right is opposite ) , but where to get the coordinates for the direction?
After installing another AFCAD Program i get the coordinates, to complicated for me, but i get the coordintes finally.
But after entering the Coordinates in the Textfields, GSX pushes me out "BACKWARDS" ( which is never done in real live)
and finishes the Pushback with my Nose in direction to Gate C4 ????
What is that ??
I tried many different coordinates, but all did not working.

My suggestion is a very much easyer way to set up the End Position.
In the "Better Pushback" Plugin ( freeware for X-Plane ) you can move a little Airplane before you start.
Can you program the Setup for a Special Pushback , for Positions like C4 in EDDF, in a way like Better Pushback is doing that?

That way is very easy to use and much much better, the first struggeling to get the correct coordinates nd so on and then
ending up with the Nose in the wrong Direction.

That would be much much better then you actual way.

What do you mean "the setup is wrong" ? You mean the left/right directions as programmed in the scenery ? Or in GSX ? Are you aware that GSX "Left" means "Nose Right/Tail Left" ?

From ADE, for example, as explained in the manual. They must be the coordinates of an EXISTING node in the scenery.

Which were ?

Please clarify were you wanted to be push back. I tried the default Left position, without any customization, and it ended up in a very reasonable position, with the nose aligned to the N3 taxipath, in the direction of the exit, which is quite good.
