Thanks Nigel, I installed it last night but haven’t had time to fly it yet. Have you noticed anything?

Hi Ben, I had downloaded and installed it yesterday but had to go out so did not get to fly her. Will be late afternoon before I get the chance today but looking forward to trying out the push back feature as been having problems with the one I am using.....Does not disconnect from the aircraft when pushback completed so have to spawn in where you can just release brakes and move forwards.

Knowing Just Flight, I am guessing that the updates will be very good

Regards

Did a flight, well sort of, turned out to be very short really.

At Gatwick Airport and went through the whole checklist and got to start engines, well this is where all the fun started. Requested push back and tug connected to aircraft then came clearance to push back and got ready to start engines. Tug driver requested me to release brakes which I did release brakes which I did again and this went on and on and on then I decided to start engines whilst releasing brakes for the umpteenth time whilst then finding out I could not start engines despite doing everything to the checklist. Got so fed up as this happens regularly so gave up

Will have to look for a parking slot where I can just release brakes and go without all this faffing about. Just did not have the will to fly any more today.

Regards
Nigel.

Was going to try her out tomorrow. Hmm maybe not Perhaps I'll stick with the A310, now I seem to have got to grips with the ILS (2 out of 2 captures today ) Don't give up Nigel, it must be something simple.

Nigel,

Were you using the addon Gatwick at flightsim.to? If so its causing all sorts of havoc with pushback and being able to steer on the ground. I was testing the 360 at the weekend and thought Graham had made an error in the latest beta, but no, it was that airport. Anywhere else was fine, and other aircraft had the same issue. Might be worth trying it again from a different airport.

[Nigel H-J]

Hi Dale and Ben. Think you are right Ben, I do have the Gatwick Airport add-on though not able to try a different airport today as going out and will not be back until later.
Will be tomorrow pm before I can fly. Will try Heathrow as my departure.


Many thanks for the info

Regards
Nigel.

There's a new version that was released yesterday. I am just about to download it. Must admit I've not suffered any pushback problems though. The airport now includes Gsx profiles, which may have something to do with it

When I initiated pushback on Saturday, one of the tugs disappeared (blue one) and a white one appeared from a different location and pushed me back. It took a couple of attempts to get it to stop pushback. After pushback i couldn’t steer the aircraft at all using the tiller or the rudder. I tried it with the 146 too (pre update) and same sort of thing. Tried from EGLC and it was fine. I’ll grab the update later and try again.
