Pushback truck wheels turn wrong way
« on: August 08, 2015, 11:28:25 pm »
Has anyone else noticed that the pushback truck with the front wheels set forward on arms (sorry I don't know what it is called) when turning, the rear steering wheels turn the wrong way. ie when turning right the wheels turn left and vice versa. Or is it just my driver larking about?  ???

It's not so simple...

Pushback vehicles have different wheel steering modes. Sometimes the wheel steers like a car (when they drive around the airport), sometimes they steer opposed (to increased the turning radius), sometimes the wheels steer all in the same direction (to translate), and the driver can change the steering mode depending on the situation.

We might be able to simulate this too, in future GSX version, but for the time being, the current solution is correct.
