Auto Pushback doesn't work as expected on some gates

[Haydentheavgeek]

Hey Guys, I would like to share an issue I’ve experienced with the new Auto Pushback feature.

Some gates in airports have dotted taxi lines instead of those normal taxi lines. However, auto pushback doesn’t recognize those dotted lines so the plane would push to the nearest taxiway with the normal line, sometimes causing the plane to push to the nearest gate with the normal line instead.

In some cases, several airports have special pushback lines (usually in the form of dotted lines), and they are there in the sim but the auto pushback feature doesn’t recognize those lines.

Here’s a photo for you to understand better:

I hope this gets fixed.

Hi, what airport was the screenshot from?

I’d have to double check, but it looks like that line hasn’t been given any “usage” in the airports taxiway network.

Essentially the network is needed for auto push to function, at the moment that line isn’t a part of it, meaning it won’t be usable with auto push.

The airport is undergoing a rework, so this will be fixed in the future.

Hope that all makes sense, happy to clarify if needed.
