GSX Pushback and the iFly 73 MAX8 - what's happening with the nose gear...?

[WebMaximus]

Usually, I stay inside the cockpit during pushback but tonight, I was watching the pushback from external view and was quite worried when seeing the angle of the nose gear...

As soon as the GSX pushback truck disconnected from the aircraft, it was luckily restored to a more normal and healthy angle.

I checked the internal airplane profile, and there's no custom simulation of the nosegear, which we have in very few airplanes:

- FS Labs
- PMDG 747 and 77 in P3D only
- FBW380
- iniBuilds A350

With any other airplane, GSX acts on the standard rudder position, so how it will match the nosegear animation depends. That's basically why we need a custom LVar (assuming the developer has published one), for those planes with an internal NWS simulation

So if I understand what you're saying, something is required from the developers of the iFly MAX8 to address this?

Yes, and no. I need to check if the airplane DOES have a custom LVar to control NWS, and if it does, we might adapt it on our side.

Got it, thanks 👍
