The popular Toolbar Pushback add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator has been updated to version 1.6.0, bringing compatibility with the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Known for simplifying ground operations, Toolbar Pushback allows you to manage pushback operations directly within the simulator's interface, eliminating the need for external applications or constant alt-tabbing. This utility offers a range of options, including manual pushback steering via rudder pedals, joystick, keyboard, or mouse, as well as an automated Pushback Pre-Planning feature that lets you map out your desired pushback route in advance.
Ground services, such as catering or baggage handling, can also be summoned effortlessly with a single click. These features are designed to work with all types of aircraft. The latest update ensures that Toolbar Pushback remains a valuable tool for simmers who have transitioned to MSFS 2024. However, a known issue prevents pushback tug interaction in the new simulator version, though pushback functionality itself remains unaffected. For those new to the add-on, quick-access controls such as "Shift + P" for classic pushback or "Right Ctrl + P" to toggle the Toolbar Pushback window provide ease of use.
The developer invites you to share feedback, report bugs, or ask questions via private messages or the official Microsoft Flight Simulator forums. Additionally, a rich library of tutorials and reviews on platforms like YouTube helps users get the most out of Toolbar Pushback. Toolbar Pushback remains a freeware offering.
