bobterri6 10 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Just installed FSX-SE on Windows 10 after having it installed on a Windows 7 computer that pooped out. I never had the following problem on the Windows 7 computer. At two airports, Aerosoft's EDDM, gate 222 and a freeware KCLT (don't remember the gate), I used the pushback function through the right MCDU. I used varying distances of pushback, and when I ended pushback with SHFT-P, I began taxiing and immediately I could no longer steer the airplane and it began rolling backwards. SHFT-P wouldn't stop the roll backward. I had to abort the flight. Putting emergency brakes on would not stop the rollback. I thought it was just an anomaly with the freeware KCLT airport so I removed the freeware and got Imaginesim's KCLT and haven't had the problem since. However, just last night I had the problem again at EDDM. I tried a couple of different gates, all the same. Finally I applied a significant amount of thrust to get the plane going forward and used differential braking to turn the plane. Of course I couldn't turn very well and ended up off the taxiway, but finally got to 26L. It was ugly! As soon as I made it to 26L the steering returned and I took off and finished the flight with no problems. I noticed from a post in for forums on Jan. 20, 2013 that there was a very similar problem. If I remember rightly, SHFT-P stopped the rollback. Not so for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobterri6 10 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Additionally, I have flown twice since the first posting, one at EDDM with the same parking stand and I allowed the pushback application to finish the pushback procedure and did not use SHFT-P. I had no problem. I flew another flight from KMSP and didn't use SHFT-P there either to stop the pushback and, once again, no problem. It seems the problem occurs sometimes, but not always, when using SHFT-P to prematurely stop the pushback procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfish55 0 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Shift+P is an FSX command and is not required if you are using the START PUSH command from the right MCDU. When the a/c has been pushed the required distance as input on the MCDU you will be advised by the ground crew to set parking brakes. In respect of the steering issue, I have found that if you press the Y key (for slewing) then Y key again that seems to do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobterri6 10 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Yes, I am going to stay away from the SHFT-P command. The reason I have used that command in the past is because sometimes i don't estimate the right distance when I am pushing back using the START PUSH command so I need to stop the pushback. Thanks for the Y key suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobterri6 10 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 I guess the only remaining question I have is how do you interrupt the pushback if you have misjudged distances? If SHFT-P causes this glitch what other way is there to stop pushback? Or maybe there isn't one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfish55 0 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Bob, I just let it go, making sure there are no other aircraft n the vicinity. In the end I bought GTX which is great and uses the AFCAD to align the aircraft correctly on the taxiway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
