Push forward?

[P38man]

Best addon ever. I use it all the time. I set it to about 9 for GA and medium aircraft about 12 for easy on ground manouvering.

I use it with A2A's 377...it is awesome.

I then use a follow me car rather than the yellow arrows.

The 2 together make the whole parked to runway business a very pleasant one.

You mean you can set a follow me car to lead you instead of using the arrows? How do you do that?

It is awesome..and it is freeware....car indicates before turning. Easy to use.

I got it here but the link no longer works - explains who made it and that it is legit.

Enjoy!


PS this shows how to configure the Groundhandling pushback gauge (at 5) for the COTS 377 along with the Descentometer (at 11) and Sals gauges (at 12) (satellite assisted landing system)

using these 2 extra gauges you can estimate easily when you need to descend and from far away begin to line up straight (can also use the 377 autopilot using the descentometer). Both Fs9 Gauges that work in FSX and are damn easy to use..in only 1 test flight plus the pdf below you will get it.

Thank you. That looks a bit complicated for me.
