Tug pulling forward?

Just saw a tug pulling a UA 772 forward at SFO. Is this finally a new feature?

Are you saying that you saw a plane going straight on the taxiway or in the parking lot?

..what? No. In the gate area in international terminal area.. the aircraft was being pulled forward by the tug.

Do you know about auto pushback? That is new funcition

Yes, I know of it. I fly often. I’ve just never seen it pull forward

Depends on where you plan your pushback to it can pull forward but you can’t manually do it only automatically. Annoying it doesn’t allow you to be towed into a gate.

No, you can go back in.

Yes sir! It’s apart of the autopushback feature. After selecting your pushback location, you can tap again to select a ā€œpull forwardsā€ location. Unfortunately, we don’t have access to the manual pull forward option, although you should definitely vote for it below, so that we can get it into the sim faster!

I have a question. However, if you press the ā€˜End’ button immediately after pressing the ā€˜Resume’ button, forward and reverse movement becomes possible even if you are outside the parking area. This enables infinite automatic pushback movement; is this a built-in feature?

That’s probably a bug…

Is this a bug you’ve never heard of either?

I just tried doing the same thing, and didn’t get the same outcome - so yeah its likely a bug.

Definitely a bug. And yes, one that I haven’t heard of until now… gotta try that out tomorrow…

Uh..one more thing I need to mention. Have you ever heard of the Tug Car glitch more?
I’ll post a message with a YouTube video attached in a little while. I actually enjoy researching error phenomena… so I’m sorry for repeatedly reporting issues that haven’t been mentioned.

But it appear often..!

If you’re talking about the old glitch where the tug would stay on even after takeoff, then yes, I have. Some crazy stuff used to happen on IF… :grimacing:

a last message,I don’t know if the staff locked this because of the video title or for some other reason, but the ATC radio cutting out in the first video was just because my network was unstable, separate from the pushback. It’s a bug that occurs if you press end immediately after pressing Resume.

Pull is available as part of auto push. Please report any other issues/bugs in Support or Open Beta
