Problem with pushback
« on: December 22, 2025, 09:41:36 pm »
With version 3.7.4, pushback has problems. When selecting the start button, pushback doesn't start immediately; you have to press it twice more to start operations. At the end of operations, when the tractor lowers the plane's nose, you hear the same sound as the landing gear touching the runway during landing.

Which start button ?

That's normal and always happened when releasing the airplane after lowering the nose, you can of course disable the raising function in the airplane profile, if you don't want it.

Just tried it now, no issues, called Departure, the pushback appeared and it worked immediately. Please be aware of the constraints on the PMDG: in order to continue with departure, you must first Dismiss the PMDG GPU.
