📢 Interactive Pushback Audio is real!
Toolbar Pushback version 1.3.1 is available now and comes with interactive pushback comms! Also, thanks to the awesome community, the add-on is now localized. See the changelog and readme file for details.
When installing, please make sure the folder name of the add-on in the community folder equals "ambitiouspilots-toolbar-pushback". Add-On managers may rename the folder, which would make it impossible for MSFS to find the required files.

Hi..have been getting the CAB PR EXCES RESIDUAL PR ECAM Warning on the latest dev version of FBW A32nx which I believe is triggered by this tool. Please advise, thanks.
Great tool, btw 👍
AmbitiousPilots 22 hour(s) ago
When is the warning triggered? Are you using the latest version of Toolbar Pushback? Thanks for your rating 😀
drgnkidmsfs 17 hour(s) ago
The warning is triggered when connecting jetway or opening cargo or rear door. I am using the latest version of the pushback tool.

Thank you for an amazing add-on! It became a necessary tool to enhance my streams. Thank you very much !!🍻

tatsumiko
hi,
Its a great mod, thanks for the work. Is it possible to change the sensitivity of the rudder ? I feel like its very difficult to turn gently using the rudder. Is there an option in the config file to change it ?
AmbitiousPilots 22 hour(s) ago
Pushback steering sensitivity will be a setting in an upcoming update and is currently not adjustable via the add-on. You could adjust it in the sim settings, but that depends on how you want it to be when taxiing / flying.

Hi, my interactive audio is not working. Any idea on how to make it work?
AmbitiousPilots 22 hour(s) ago
Check the FAQ section on this page and make sure the sim voices audio setting is not muted.

Hey there! amazing mod btw, I love it!! Quick question though is it possible the mod is randomly crashing the game sometimes with SU6? The game seems to crash at random intervals, always when doing something related to this mod. I get a black screen and then suddenly *dies*
scorpian007 2 day(s) ago
No issues here and I've used it numerous times since SU6. Worth reinstalling the latest version?
SDWdidi 2 day(s) ago
Already got the latest version here but I can try a reinstall none the less, doesn't hurt
AmbitiousPilots 22 hour(s) ago
I'm flying regularly with the add-on installed and haven't had any issues so far with SU6. A reinstall of the add-on may indeed fix your issue. Thanks for the rating 😀
stestavros
Hi, great addon thanks. Any chance of adding a bus arriving when using the steps that would be the ultimate. Keep up the good wok.
AmbitiousPilots 22 hour(s) ago
That's currently not planned but sounds interesting for a future update.

best pushback available!
not sure if related to the addon but when flying the CRJ my baggage truck never leaves. regardless of the setting. it also doesn't leave when I try to release it on purpose, it just stays where it is.
AmbitiousPilots 6 day(s) ago
Does this happen every time with the CRJ? Thanks for the rating!
Puuhbear 6 day(s) ago
I checked and it happens with other aircraft too (Asobo stock A320). could also be related to the airport though... I tested at LEMD with the latinvfr scenery and it would only leave if I call it in again via the ATC groundcontrol, send it away via ATC, and than push the Baggage button twice.

Great addition to the sim! Cheers 😀

Absolutely love it! Thank you for creating this, blends in perfectly with the UI (almost forget that it's a freeware addon) and is very useful. A must have!
AmbitiousPilots 6 day(s) ago
Enjoy Toolbar Pushback! Thanks a lot for your rating and comment 😀
ricord75
he lifts me the airbus to the sky the 747 sometimes also .s stops very quickly at the start of the pusback he disconnects all alone and above all crashes me certain flight just after takeoff I hear the voice of the pusbaker 30 seconds after mom tak off and back to desktop. therefore uninstalled for the moment.
soukee88 7 day(s) ago
Like same!! What's the solution please??
AmbitiousPilots 7 day(s) ago
It's not straightforward to pinpoint the exact cause of this as only certain scenarios seem to be problematic, but I'm on it. The lift issue will be fixed in the next update.
FloatingPoint75 2 day(s) ago
Using the Salty 747 in LIMC with this pushback gives always the same problem: everything seems OK, then when I engage TO/GA for take off, after 50-100 meters the plane crashes for no reasons and I get an "overstressed your aircraft" advice.
Tried the same exact procedures without pushback and I get no crash.
MonsterMatti
awesome Mod, only issue I'm having is with the CRJ. the mod doesnt register the Parking break being released when audio is turned on. and no matter if lift turned on or off the aircraft is lifted and it doesnt stop lifting until pushback is stopped
AmbitiousPilots 11 day(s) ago
I'm flying the CRJ on a regular basis. Make sure to remove the chocks before attempting to release the parking brake. When you turn off the nosewheel lift simulation in the options tab it shouldn't lift the nose at all and the communication between the flight deck and ground adapts to the setting automatically. Please check the FAQ section and make sure the latest version of the add-on is installed correctly.
MonsterMatti 11 day(s) ago
thanls for your response. Latest version is downloaded and chocks were removed. I will try again with your tips and get back to you with feedback. Thanks 😊
ltjackson
Awesome stuff! I also have pushback express but this is so much more streamlined to use and integrates into the sim so much better. I mean PBExpress has some nice features but without the integration. This has replaced the payware PBExpress!
AmbitiousPilots 11 day(s) ago
Good to hear you're enjoying Toolbar Pushback 😉 Thanks for your rating!
rickg1012
Fantastic app, only thing is pushback stops before I am done. Usually have to call the tug back and finish.
AmbitiousPilots 12 day(s) ago
Does this happen when you request the pushback via ATC or directly via Toolbar Pushback? Thank you for the 5-star rating 😉
MarkFly75 12 day(s) ago
In my case, direct from toolbar!!!! I notice that happens only when Im pushing back and start the engine on the way. If I push and dont start engines, it goes fine. (talking about A320NX FlyByWire)
AmbitiousPilots 11 day(s) ago
Alright, will have a look and try to reproduce what you describe here.
rickg1012 9 day(s) ago
I don't use default ATC, it usually stops the push around the end of the taxi line when I'm about to steer the plane one way or the other. I call back the tug and complete the taxi. I use the experimental features to do it.
MarkFly75
This is fantastic must have addon. I love it. The only one point that I have here is, when Im pushing back, after few seconds, it stops by itself without my command. So, I can't go far pushing. Have you heard any "complain" about it? thank you so much.
AmbitiousPilots 12 day(s) ago
I'm investigating the issue as it's something related to the sim ATC. The next update will contain a fix. Thanks for the rating!
MarkFly75 12 day(s) ago
cool man. you the man!!!! btw, Im not using anything from atc. is all off and AI off. thx

Hello AmbitiousPilots. Im the author of the free A330-900. I noticed a bug with the nosewheel lift (the plane is lifted too high) but i dont know how to fix it. Can you send me a PM with detail ?
Thank you

PM sent. Thanks for your rating 😉

Here is a very useful Addon that deserves the 5 Stars. I hope that one day, we will be able to put the voices of our language Example Frenc

Yes, custom voices are planned for a future update. Thanks for the 5-star rating!

Nice work with this tool. Been using it with the A320. Works like a charm.
AmbitiousPilots 19 day(s) ago
Great to hear! Thanks for your 5-star rating 😀
Volcz
Hey! Just wondering if the baggage and catering trucks stay at the aircraft until disconnected? I know in the default sim they disappear after a short period of time, and was wondering if this add-on fixes that 😊
AmbitiousPilots 21 day(s) ago
Yes, since version 1.2.4 of Toolbar Pushback, the ground services stay until you dismiss them. This can be toggled on and off in the options tab. Enjoy 😉
