Prepare for departure - no pushback option?
« on: January 26, 2025, 04:22:21 pm »
Would it be possible to implement a switch for the prepare for pushback and departure option where you can opt not to have pushback? Many airports use turn out of stand or remote stands where pushback may not be needed so it would be nice to have an option where the ground crew clear away but then no pushback tug attaches?

As right now I have to use the reset position button which is quite abrupt

The "DISABLED" option of the Pushback preference in the airport customization page, from the GSX Pro Manual, Page 43:

Quote
“Disabled” - This option completely disables Pushback on the selected parking, and won’t even create a Pushback Tug. It’s useful to simulate “Taxi-out” gates, where Pushback is never used, and won’t require “hiding” the Tug out of sight, which was a trick used by airport profile creators to achieve this.

Hi
I've come late into this thread, but Umberto, does this mean that each parking spot would have to be adapted worldwide?
I reckon a better deal is to have an option in the list saying 'Taxi out - no pushback', which would instage ground staff, vehicles and equip to be removed.
