Good afternoon,
I know the tug feature has been confirmed several times by Umberto, and I would like to ask a few things about it.
Is there any chances we the end user might put nodes in the afcad, informing the tug to stop in a certain spot, or will there be an option where we can ask the tug to stop via the GSX interface?
Will we be able to call the tug from any position, regardless if you are on a parking spot or taxiway?
For example, in this particular place in Geneva, airplanes
never taxi out/in on their own. A tug is always pulling planes in and out, because the parking positions are placed so tightly together, a pilot trying to taxi in or out might hit a resting plane.

Also I know FSDreamTeam did not add the parking positions for this place. (Called P48) I am in the process of adding them myself with Airport Design Editor.
