Toolbar Pushback gives you full control over your pushback! Use Pushback Pre-Planning for automated pushback procedures, or take control yourself and steer the tug with your rudder pedals, joystick, keyboard or mouse and steplessly adjust the tug speed to your liking. All natively from within Flight Simulator without the need for running any apps or alt tabbing out of the sim. Additionally, ground services can be called with a click of a button. Works with all types of aircraft.
📖 Instructions
- Download the latest release of "Toolbar Pushback"
- Extract the zip file into the community folder (remove previous version of this add-on before updating!)
- Press the Pushback Icon in the Flight Simulator Toolbar
- Alternatively press the classic "shift + p"
- Toggle the add-on window by pressing "right ctrl + p"
- Note: Make sure no other pushback apps are running, as this may interfere with Toolbar Pushback (thanks to @BlueHomeland for pointing out)
- Enjoy and happy pushbacking!

With over 200,000 downloads Toolbar Pushback has become an indispensable tool for every serious Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 pilot.
I am AmbitiousPilots, passionate developer, student and creator of Toolbar Pushback. Next to my studies I'm working on my freeware projects. A lot of time goes into the development of Toolbar Pushback. I've been working hard to get Pushback Pre-Planning working in MSFS, and it's still freeware. Support me so I can keep maintaining and creating software you can't live without! Thank you.

👁️🗨️ IMPORTANT
- Use the latest version of Toolbar Pushback. Previous versions are no longer supported
- If you have the FlyByWire A32NX installed, please make sure you use the latest version to prevent issues
- In order for the ground services to stay at the aircraft (when supported), Toolbar Pushback must be enabled
- For any questions, issues, bug reports, please send me a PM so I can try to help you
💡 NOTAM
Due to changes in Microsoft Flight Simulator Sim Update 8, make sure to use the latest version of Toolbar Pushback as the previous versions (<= 1.3.1) are no longer compatible with this new release of Microsoft Flight Simulator.
🎧 Interactive Pushback Audio
In order for the interactive pushback comms to work please make sure that 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.
