Administrator Raphael Jakob 459 Posted August 29, 2023 Administrator Share Posted August 29, 2023 We are pleased to announce a new product, Toolbar Pushback Pro, that will be released in the near future. Please note that all information here is preliminary, things can change a bit, and things can be added. This multiplatform tool (PC, MSFS Cloud, and Xbox) increases the realism when the aircraft is on the platform, waiting for departure. Many of you will probably already know the freeware version of this program... just a quick look at the story behind it. The developer of the freeware version approached us and wanted to release a version on the marketplace and for the Xbox. We thought about a Pro Version with more Features but for a good price for the customers. Since we are always happy to support freeware as well, it was important to us that the current version should continue to exist and that it should continue to receive functional updates. As the freeware will still exist, everyone is free to decide whether it is worth their money or not. But especially for customers on the Xbox, it will be a big plus. Below is a list of the features of the Pro version compared to the Freeware version Feature Freeware Pro Pushback (backward) – automatic mode ✓ ✓ Towing (forward) – automatic mode ✓ Pushback Pre-Planning ✓ ✓ Manual Pushback ✓ ✓ Pushback Audio - (Legacy) ✓ (Wwise) Xbox Support ✓ VR compatibility ✓ Compatibility with Add-On Airplanes - ✓ Several menu languages ✓ ✓ Ground crew and pilot voices in different languages and accents ✓ Ground service, apron and aircraft controls ✓ ✓ Visual feedback from the Tool ✓ Improved flow for time-critical virtual air traffic flights (e.g. VATSIM) ✓ Product Updates - ✓ Product Support ✓ Compatibility for seaplanes (*) ✓ New 3D Objects (*) ✓ Connectivity for Aerosoft VDGS (*) ✓ ✓ = Available, — = Limited availability (*) = Feature planned but will not be in the first release As already written above, the freeware will continue to receive functional updates (e.g. after a Sim update), completely new features will no longer follow. Other features that we are currently planning (but which will not be included in the first release) are e.g. Possibilities for seaplanes, new 3D objects and a connection to our VDGS. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankGehry 28 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I'm glad that you explained the background as to why this was developed into a payware version, while still keeping the freeware version. The Pro version sounds enticing. I know there are some issues with the current freeware version, so I hope to see those resolved as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomReborn 429 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Looks good Is this the project where we did our voice line contributions, or is that something else? If it is so, how would we claim our copy at the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blanderrr 32 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Will this be interoperable with GSX? GSX doesn't allow for forward towing operations which is why I think it would be useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWOOS 18 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 will it be possible to perform push and pull procedures? Like in Frankfurt where you get pushed into a position and then pulled into the final position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Raphael Jakob 459 Posted September 25, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted September 25, 2023 Yes, that is possible. The pushback process/dialog can be called at any time, including for a pushin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
