Strange pushback at Gate 1, Terminal 7 JFK

[booforty]

Hi, never had this problem before but I had a really strange GSX pushback at Gate 1, Terminal 7 at FSDT's JFK.  I attach a picture.  I used to get pushed back to the right.  This time it went left and backed me into the BA 747.  There was no choice of left or right of course as its an FSDT airport.  It used to always pushback to the right.

Please can you investigate the pushback at this gate?  I was using Libardo Guzman's freeware Concorde and parked at this gate many times with no pushback problems before 

Thanks!

I'm still learning everything that GSX can do, but can't you specify the pushback direction when you customize an individual gate or position on the airport?

Not at an FSDT airport such as JFK, no you can't.

That parking is set to Left pushback by GSX and it hasn't changed in months so, it's not possible it did a Right pushback then it suddenly changed. And, GSX doesn't interact with AI airplanes.

Thanks for the response Umberto.

Is it possible to change it to a right pushback?  A left pushback is only going to pushback the user's aircraft into a nearby ai aircraft so not realistic.  That gate should always be a right pushback.

Please consider.

Thanks

On that specific parking, the "Left" or "Right" don't have any relationship to the direction because ( and this is possible only on an fully customized airport supported by us ), this is a custom pushback were the automatic algorithm that selects the best possible nodes in the AFCAD is overridden, and we specify the node coordinates directly. So, "Left/Right" don't mean anything here: if it's Left like in this case, it means "only 1 choice", if it's Both, some choice menu with labels will appear.

In this case, the AFCAD node selected is at coordinates 40.650183, -73.784226, which means the Pushback will be directed towards that node, Left has no meaning here, it could be Left or not, doesn't matter. I'll check better in the next days if everything is ok with that choice of node.

Understood Umberto

Thanks for checking
