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.
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.
