Cannot taxi and steer aircraft after pushback
« on: March 02, 2025, 11:54:14 am »
Using the ini A350, after PBack and parking brakes have been released, I encounter problems. Number 1 - I struggle to get the plane moving Number 2 - once moving I cannot steer it.
If I use the Ini PB option, the I don't encounter ANY problems. Can someone please advise and help.

The same issue here. After pushback with gsx i cannot move the airplane. Parking brake is off but i cannot taxi, no movement possible. Had this once with fenix a321 and also with iniBuilds a350. I'm on MSFS2020.

did either of you guys happen to restart GSX in the in the middle of pushing back? I had this happen a few times when I restarted Coutatl mid push. If so.....just wait till pushback is over with to restart it. Outside of that idk.

GSX completely releases the airplane after it completes the Pushback, by sending the standard "unfreeze" command to the flight model.

If the airplane has extra custom systems (like an NWS with a bypass pin simulation), that detects GSX is pushing and are supposed to detect it stopped pushing, it's the airplane responsibility to reinstate them to the normal situation by detecting GSX has stopped pushing, in the same way it detected when it started.

If GSX crashed in the middle of a pushback, a subsequent restart would also unfreeze the airplane, but if this happens and the airplane has such custom system that should be reset as well, then it's a matter of the airplane code that should be able to detect a GSX restart, which can be done fairly easily by checking those freeze standard variables. That, assuming GSX *did* crash in the middle of a pushback, which is the only possible reason I could think that might not be covered by the airplane code, assuming it *does* need to reset those custom systems.
