Inadequate space for pushback?

  • Hello fellow flight-simmers,


    For many start locations there are just not enough space for aircraft’s to line up on the taxiway properly. One example is the Denver Concourse B ramp, I can’t even properly do a 737 pushback. However the Aerofly simulation of the turning angle of the tug seems pretty accurate, what am I doing wrong?

  • At what speed do you ride the PushBack? It may help to do this more slowly.

    Tschüss, Michael (🍎🚁)

    I tried all reasonably realistic speeds, but still couldn’t line up properly. One example is SFO terminal A ramp where it is no less than impossible to line up without running onto the road, even if I start turning immediately from the ramp at the lowest possible speed.


    Maybe it’s my key binds? I just used the default rudder axis for turning.

    I found that pushing back at around 2 knots and starting the turn early helps me.

    Kind regards, good day, and bon vol!
