If I’m not wrong, it’s related with ATC and animated GSE in multiplayer which unable to release to public yet. That’s what I heard about it during a few past live stream.

Went to twa hotel yesterday , and I watched a virgin atlantic a339 be pulled from the hard stand to his gate, completely empty. Here at jfk, in between flights planes will be pushed out to handstands, so their gates can be used In the meantime. Would be so cool to start off a flight with pulling
to a gate.

I’ve always wanted to go to the TWA hotel.
How do you get up there, I go to New York a lot especially around the JFK area. Do you just buy pool pass or something?

If you want to stay at the pool for a while you can, but you can also just walk into the building, go to the Hughes wing, take the elevator up, and ask the lady to let you out for a few minutes. All free, but only for like 10/20 minutes
Longer costs money

I only go to New York a few times a year, so I’d probably pay for longer

I also just moved out of the country so probably will be going to New York even less

I think the new update makes the content of this post more likely! Now, we can see the ground service vehicles connected to other players, so ATC can probably better distinguish whether an aircraft is being towed or taxiing on its own. This helps ATC make better decisions! (However, it seems that this feature sometimes has display issues; I certainly don’t want to see anyone taking off with a tow truck attached.)

It’s here now. Should not this be closed? It’s in the sim!
We don’t have the option to manually pull. Only automatic

I’ve changed the title to stop any further confusion.
I’m voting for this. I really want to be able to use hangers and such. But it’s impossible without a manual pull function

found out that from the gate to the one the one next to you
you can push back and pull into a gate
Hey BigBert10,
I think this is a fantastic feature request! I can definitely see how the pull forward/tow option would add a layer of realism and convenience to the simulation. It’s great that you highlighted how it could help with traffic flow, especially in busy airports, and how it could be a quick solution for situations like misaligned gates or crowded areas.
The fact that it’s a relatively simple addition, as you pointed out, makes it even more compelling. Plus, it would reduce the awkwardness of having to push back into a crowd or deal with unrealistic maneuvers like spinning around on the spot.
I also appreciate how you addressed the concerns around ATC ghosting, as that’s a valid point in the real-world scenario. If the developers can ensure that ATC understands this feature, it would be a smooth implementation.
Overall, I think this would improve both realism and convenience for pilots and ATC. Definitely voted for this one! Let’s hope this gets the attention it deserves!
