I found a much easyer example at EDDP gates 401/402 , 421/422 and so on. Here you will be pushed on the Street and also it is not possible to be pushed on the Orange / Blue Line, which is always done in EDDP every night.
But lets stay at EDDF Gate C4
What do you mean "the setup is wrong" ? You mean the left/right directions as programmed in the scenery ? Or in GSX ? Are you aware that GSX "Left" means "Nose Right/Tail Left" ?
Left in gsx pushes me with the
Tail to the
left. For a pushback direction is always the
Nose direction taken, never the
tail.
So it was better if the default directions in the STRG+F12 Dialog in Flightsim should be only "Nose right" or "Nose Left". The default text at the moment is very complicated: Just change form "Nose Right/Tail Left (LEFT)" to "Nose left" and "Nose right"
That is also all , what the Captain say to you before the Pushback.
He calls you "Ready for Pusback <<Nose to the LEFT/RIGHT >> " and that is all what he say to you.
From ADE, for example, as explained in the manual. They must be the coordinates of an EXISTING node in the scenery.
as i wrote , very too much complicate. it should not be need to install another program to get the coordinates.
Which were ?
which program you mean?
It makes no difference, but it is ADE.
Please clarify were you wanted to be push back. I tried the default Left position, without any customization, and it ended up in a very reasonable position, with the nose aligned to the N3 taxipath, in the direction of the exit, which is quite good.
During the pushback i was pushed into the wall ( at the Pic_2 the big red line ) and i end up like in Pic_3.
But i should end up like i moved the Airplane in Pic_4.
How is that to be done....very complicated.
First try to find the coordinates for the ending Position. But Coordinates re only a POINT, not a Vector ( which can give a direction for the ending position ... we need the direction of the airplan or not ?? )
But ok, lets find the coordinates in ADE...Pic_5
We see first , it is not exactly .. the Airplane is slightly left. But the Manual says here "You must not be very precise with the coordinates for the ending position". So we take the coordinates displayed in ADE: 50.049183224 and 8.575832868 and put these in the FS Setup for this Position...see Pic_6.
Ok, here we go, Apply, reload the Airport cache...pushback to the "Left" again....( even now I DONT WANT TO START THE ENGINES ... ).
He pushes me back...but .. hehe "Set Paring brakes "
we are not t the ending coordinates ( we end up at the same position like in Pic_3)... what is wrong here
Hello little pushback ... Tow me forward until the desired ending Position please...no, ok. Parking brakes set.
My proposel is to make it like in Better Pushback.. Just add a option in the Position setup to set points for the pushback idirectly in the sim.
Lets call it" Pushback setup". ( Pic_new_1 )
After activating that in the GSX Position setup, you can move a little Airplane directly in the Sim and define Points for the Pushback.
These are saved for the Airport Position and use for the CORRECT Pushback procedure.
So just move the little plane in FS, press "save position " ( Pic_new_2 ) then move it to the next Position and save these Position again ( Pic_new_3 )
The last saved Position ist the End Position for the Pushback.
With this procedure , we as users can be sure the Pushback is done exactly as WE want and we must not HOPE that the Pushback is done like we want.
We have a direct control of what the Pushack is doing.
BTW: as is ask, can you make it possible to disable the stupid question if i want to start the engines during the Pushback?
Also the always asking for the Pushback provider is not needed. So if you can put just a little checkbox in the GSX Setup for disabling such messages for those who dont want to be ask at every pushback.
That would be a little step forward and should not be soo hard to implement.
