Manually Pull Forward/Towing Option

Pretty sure it’s been around a while for staff, I forgot the reason why it’s not here yet, maybe it’s in testing. Or maybe it’s something like that wake turbulence where only available for the staff/beta tester servers

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
