> What is XPushBack?

Planes can’t go backward. To pull back from their parking location (Hangar, terminal gate,…) they need the help of a little truck. This truck will push them back and lined them up in a position adequate for the plane to start its engines and then taxi.


XPushBack is a X-Plane PlugIn which emulates these behaviour. XPushBack brings the little truck to the X-plane world and allows you to pushback your plane from its parking location to the taxiing area. It also helps you to manoeuvre the plane easily at the airport.

> Who is behind XPushBack?

XPushBack is developped by the GoodWay team. The original idea has been provided by Stéphane Maurel the author of GoodWay and CoPilot. XPushBack was developed on Mac by Alexis Maizel and ported on PC by Stéphane. The original 3D modelling and coding was done by Emmanuel Hairault the author of XCockpit.

We would like to thank the following persons:

  • Loïc Segalou for his help with Mac development.
  • Pierluigi Vittori for the Linux version.
  • Ben Supnik, Sandy Barbour and Austin Meyer andfor the X-plane SDK
  • All the beta-testers for their help and advices.
