That's precisely what the next update will be about. BTW, which airport is that ?

That is UK2000 EGGW London Luton.

Today's update adds multiple corner points to the Pushback customization, as promised.

Great update with the multiple points. But it is difficult to customize a push with a longer straight path. This is FlyTampa EHAM stand F3 where a very long push is needed. Maybe the snap mode is better here.
The pushback looks like the driver is drunk.  ;) I would like to straighten the path especially between node 2 and 3; 4 and the final position.

Exactly, there's a reason why Snap mode is still there, and it's precisely to do THAT kind of paths, those made with several long straight legs, following the AFCAD.  QuickEdit/Free mode works best on tricky short distances, see what the GSX manual says about this, at Page 49:

Quote
Custom Pushback in Free/QuickEdit Mode

This mode is the one that gives you the most flexibility, and it’s typically used to exit from tight spots, where you cannot be sure an existing AFCAD node can be used or found, and it’s best used over short distances. While the Snap Mode could theoretically push you through the whole airport, since it only needs a destination node and will follow all the yellow lines up to there, the Free Mode works best when the end destination is close to the starting Parking spot
