Towbarless Pusher doesn't lift
« on: July 01, 2019, 03:56:05 pm »
Hi guys,

I tried the the new update, but unfortunately the nosewheel of the FSLabs A320 doesn't get lifted, the pusher itself does lift, but not the airframe.

I can try the PMDG 777, but it takes a while, because almost everytime I get a towbar truck...

There are two towbarless trucks available, on for smaller planes and another for larger ones so, it's not possible that none of them would ever appear. However, there are also several models with a towbar and since the model is chosen randomly, you will simply have to try again, and it will eventually appear.

I can confirm that on the PMDG 747 QOTSII and FSLabs A320 the push back truck does not lift. The animation seems to reversed i.e. the front wheel suspension compresses but the airframe drops instead of rising. I will upload a video as soon as I can.

No need to upload anything, we have both planes and we can check it.

The same issue for me. I have tried the PMDG 747 and 777 as well as the FSLabs A320.

OK, I did a reinstall followed by a reinstall using the installer from the website. With the FSLabs A320 (default united livery N404UA) at Flightbeam KSFO Stand 56B, the nosegear doesn't get lifted, the elevator goes through the nosegear and during pushback, the nosewheel is turning. However, during the lift, the camera I used in my picture in post 1 does move upward.

A few things I observed:

1. The command for releasing the parking break comes, when the pushback truck is still lifting, in real life you are commanded to release the brake after lifting is completed

2. After the lift down, the pusher departs from the nosegear, with the clamp still in place

3. Pushback still stops aprubtly, exept for straight pushbacks

4. Durin fresh install, I got an error when the installer tried to copy a font into the Windows folder, I hat to override it, is that a problem?

kown issue, will be fixed.

2. After the lift down, the pusher departs from the nosegear, with the clamp still in place

Same as above

3. Pushback still stops aprubtly, exept for straight pushbacks

Doesn't happen here. Was this a custom pushback or a default pushback ?

Not a problem, it's just the Windows security that, on some systems, is worried about copying a file which is already there so, you can ignore it.

The aprubt stop just happened at your KIAH scenery with the FSLabs A320 after pushing from C40 (nose to the left). I haven't touch any of the GSX settings at KIAH yet.

Do you already have an idea, why the nosegear doesn't lift?

No, but it would be helpful if, an user affected could try with a default airplane, so I might have an idea if the problem is something specific to the airplane, or to the system (sim configuration, etc.)

if you let me know which airplane to try, I'll try.
