Correct equipment code for Vatsim - and reversing

Hello pilots!

I haven't made a flight online on Vatsim with the Saab 340 yet, mostly due to the bug with the banking. But I cannot wait any longer now, so I'm going online anyway. But what should I use for equipment code for the Saab 340?

Without using the GPS, which is how I fly most of the time, with VOR to VOR navigation - should the equipment code be /A?

And when using the GPS, should I file equipment code /G?

Thanks for any help with this, so the controllers know what to expect from me!

 

And just one other thing, what is the correct procedure to reverse back from a stand before taxing? By using the reverse function, not by any kind of push back. Is it possible? I've tried, but the plane don't reverse... I bet you have to make everything correct with the condition and power handles, and I'm doing something wrong...

Thanks in advance!!

Correct, but I don’t think vatsim controllers pay much attention to those codes.

Would be via a tow bar. Start an engine and reset the gen, disconnect the gpu, pushback into position, then start the other. Just don’t use better pushback, it does not like the saab for some reason...

It would be possible, but being a crowded ramp with lots of people and things to hit, most likely not appreciated by safety departments.
You can try better pushback, It definitely requires the nose wheel steering tiller to be pushed down to stop it completely freaking out, but even then it seems to like pushing you into odd placed.
