Pushback issues
« on: April 14, 2024, 12:35:44 am »
I'm having issues trying to use GSX at the Taxi2Gate KMCO withe PMDG 737-800 (the older version not the current 737 NGXu). This is the error message I'm getting that is causing Couatl to crash.


couatl v4.8 (build 5335)
panic log started on Sat Apr 13 17:23:16 2024

problem raised by addon <unknown>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".\common\fsm.py", line 73, in executeDoFuncToCompletion
  File ".\GSX\assistanceServices\pushBack.py", line 457, in do
AttributeError: 'PushBack' object has no attribute 'walkerVehicleSpawnPoint'
{'Airport': 'KMCO', 'Requested assistance services at': 'Gate 107', 'Requested parking services to': 'Gate 107', 'User Pos': (28.43576784500966, -81.30369838954418, 31.6661 m, 2.40614 m, 136.11897287374072, 0.01156177930533886, 0.011344640515744686, 0.0, 2.5511759651184085, 1.0)}
GSX SimStop

If I got into the GSX editor, it doesn't show the pushback tug and has a bouncing 3d exclamation point over the word "pushback tug". The towbarless pushback vehicle displays just fine, but since I'm using a Southwest Airlines 737 and they do not have ANY towbarless pushback tugs, that wouldn't exactly be accurate.

It looks like you don't have the latest updates, because it seems not even a Towbar tug was found, which is not normal, and indicates you haven't updated in a while.

It worked fine up until a few weeks ago and I just downloaded the most recent installer and updated GSX and GSX 2.0 several times but no joy.

I can only repeat and confirm you are missing some files, because the error is caused by not finding ANY pushback of ANY kind for your airplane, and this can be caused by having missed an update we had a while ago to support the pushback preference, so it adds extra constraints to the pushback trucks, meaning you need both the latest code and the latest objects, which normally are of course all downloaded together.

Try a full uninstall/reinstall of GSX, and during the uninstall, reply YES to the question "do you want to remove the addon manager?", so the next reinstall will be more clean.

Thank you for explaining it. I'll definitely give it a shot.
