BetterPushBack not working in 1.3

Recommended Posts

I am not familiar with better pushback, but I am sure that it can be made to work with our airplane.

The "built in" pushback will only push "straight" in X-Plane 11.xx, we left the RIGHT/LEFT option in there for XP10 users, though.

There is also a native X-Plane pushback truck that can be summoned, although it´s implementation is half-baked at best and does certainly not even approach the usability of better pushback.

Do me a favour and raise this issue on the better-pushback support side, I am sure they will know what to do.

Cheers, Jan

@Litjan

The problem is the nose gear type of Ixeg 1.3, It was changed from 3 (double) to 2 (single) and the PushBack tug can´t handle single gear.

There are 2 fix workarounds:

Change the P _gear/0/_gear_type in ACF from 2 to 3

Or

Open the file info.cfg in folder \X-Plane 11\Resources\plugins\BetterPushback\objects\tugs\AST-1X.tug and change the line "gear_compat" to "ff"

Ah, thanks for this info - I wonder how that happened, I really didn´t change anything on the nosegear...

I will see if I can make this modification in our .acf file for the next update!

Edit: I think any user could also make this modification in planemaker, if you don´t want to wait. The entry is in "Standard" "Landing Gear" - and then change the first gear to "2 lateral".

Cheers, Jan

Hallo @novato X11

Open then IXEG 737 Classic Folder

Example = D:\XPlane11\X-Plane 11\Aircraft\X-Aviation\IXEG 737 Classic

search the .acf File B733.acf - Please make a copy of this File outside the X-Plane11 Mainfolder.

I use Notepad++ and open then B733.acf File

Search the Line: 

P _gear/0/_gear_type 2

Change the Value from 2 to 3

Save the .acf File and start XPlane11 Load the Plane and BetterPushback works fine.

Sorry for my crap english. Bye Bye

Ernst
