737 Pushback issue
« on: October 25, 2022, 07:24:12 pm »
Hi just curious to know why GSX pushes back the PMDG 737 when I hit stop pushback the 737 jumps forward and I got to put on the brakes. It rolls ahead and runs over the pushback tractor thanks.

Please clarify if you used Stop or the Abort function.

The pushback stop menu has two options: STOP or ABORT, which one you used to end the pushback ?

I guess it must be something related to the PMDG side on the way their pushback works. Because when I hit shift P for pushback it does the same thing so I don’t know. Learn to live with it I guess.

Well, you shouldn't normally have to Stop the pushback before its regular end, that's usually more like an emergency feature rather than the norm.

If you use the automatic Left/Right pushback, it will stop automatically on a point on the taxiway line where the airplane and the tow truck are aligned, and if you use QuickEdit, it will stop exactly where you told it to.
