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.
Puuhbear
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 3 day(s) ago
Does this happen every time with the CRJ? Thanks for the rating!
Puuhbear 3 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!

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 4 day(s) ago
Like same!! What's the solution please??
AmbitiousPilots 4 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.
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 8 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 8 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!

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 10 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 10 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 8 day(s) ago
Alright, will have a look and try to reproduce what you describe here.
rickg1012 6 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 10 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 10 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
AmbitiousPilots 10 day(s) ago
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
AmbitiousPilots 10 day(s) ago
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 17 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 18 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 😉
Lawne
Moi dès que je l'utilise, j'ai un CTD systématiquement ....
Update 10/10/21: J'ai désactivé l'option de son et depuis plus aucun CTD, étant avec IVAO de toute façon c'est mieux 😊
AmbitiousPilots 18 day(s) ago
Lisez la FAQ et assurez-vous d'installer conformément aux instructions.
Lawne 14 day(s) ago
J'ai enlevé l'option de son et plus aucun problème 😉
foxtrotostrich
hi mate, previous to the comment about the 777 being lifted up high the same happens to the new a330 900
AmbitiousPilots 20 day(s) ago
Thanks for reporting. I assume you're referring to the A330-900 by headwind here of flightsim.to?
Playthebestnote1 20 day(s) ago
this will only happen to me when the parking brake is released as requested, but, the pedal/toe/manual brakes are not fully off. I have my toe brakes mapped to a device and I must always make sure those brakes are not active.
foxtrotostrich 20 day(s) ago
Yes mate, so that’s happened to me with the 777 and the a330-900 now. In reference to the next comment I don’t have toe brakes I just use the tcas add on with the parking brake switch
asirpan21
Dear author. This tool seems to have a fixed sequence of operations. If you do not follow the correct operation, the call will not work. For example, the call is normal in the state of the aircraft cold storage. The call is normal after the ATC is turned on.. But when Finally, after requesting a taxiway with ATC.. The call voice of the push tool does not work.. I believe that many people do not know this operation procedure.. I hope to help after the report.
AmbitiousPilots 20 day(s) ago
Yes, that's indeed related to the sim ATC. Thanks for sharing your findings with others here in the comments section.
jeffrios
This is a must have for everyone playing the game. I just installed it yesterday and its the best download on this site. Great work on this.
AmbitiousPilots 20 day(s) ago

allanemcbean 23 day(s) ago
turn off all ai control to atc it disables the pushback for some reason when i turned it off it never stops my pushback again
deltasim59er
Thanks for a wonderful addon that is much used...I remember (maybe in a previous or other sim) there was a graphical interface where you could just indicate where on the taxi line you want your aircraft placed and in which direction it's facing...then hit go and forget about it. The tug would dismiss itself. That way you could concentrate on watching the engine gauges during startup instead of watching where you're going. Would something like that be possible in a future update?
AmbitiousPilots 25 day(s) ago
That is certainly possible and is planned for a future update of Toolbar Pushback. Stay tuned. Thanks for your rating.
