Pushback tow truck
« on: December 28, 2018, 03:52:26 pm »
Hello everybody,

I have recently bought the GSX Level 2 Expansion and I would like to know if there is a way that both the GSX pushback tow truck (for the plane) and the default ones (for AI Traffic) could coexist together.

Thank you in advance

To remove the default pushback trucks the GSX installer patches the default Scenery\Global\Scenery\vehicles_airports.bgl file to disable the trucks.  The original is renamed to vehicles_airports.gsx.  You can restore the original file by copying it over the vehicles_airports.bgl and it will revert to default.  Be sure to make a backup of the patched file in case you want to  disable the default trucks again.  Be aware though, the GSX pushback will most likely run through the default one since the GSX vehicles don't recognize the existence of other objects.

Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, since the default starting position of the GSX Tow truck is angled, while the starting position of the default Tow truck is aligned with the parking.

The main reason for disabling the default Tow truck was more in an effort to save a bit of fps, and because the default Tow truck looks a bit of out of place together with the GSX Tow trucks.
