📢 Interactive Pushback Audio is real!
Toolbar Pushback version 1.3.1 is available now and comes with interactive pushback comms! Also, thanks to the awesome community, the add-on is now localized. See the changelog and readme file for details.
When installing, please make sure the folder name of the add-on in the community folder equals "ambitiouspilots-toolbar-pushback". Add-On managers may rename the folder, which would make it impossible for MSFS to find the required files.

Great toolbar. Is there anyway you can add a distance option to push back or something automatic where it will push you back and set you up on the taxi yellow line ready for taxing. I hope that makes sense. I am always getting interference from MSFS interferring and ending pushback in the middle of the road.
Saurer01
I absolutely love this add on! A must have; it makes the sim so much better, thank you!
suggestion:
Would it be possible for an actual animation of the driver showing the bypass pin?
garcez
Is there any way to stop the ATC from stopping the pushback before it finishes?
chansen 12 hour(s) ago
Yeah, that would be great, quite annoying it stops in the middel and have to start all over...
stestavros
Fantastic work really adds to the immersion in the sim.
Suggestion if possible... any chance of improving on the ground to cockpit voices as they sound very robotic.
AmbitiousPilots 4 day(s) ago
Thanks for the rating 😉 Do the voices sound like this https://youtu.be/nsCFv9659ms?t=1240 ? If not, follow the installation instructions carefully. Check the readme in the add-on folder.
st3vehimself
How does the interactive audio work? I've never once gotten it to work
AmbitiousPilots 4 day(s) ago
Make sure to use the latest version of Toolbar Pushback and install according to the instructions in the README.txt in the add-on folder. Then you'll be able to enjoy the audio.

Great work! How can I support this project?

Thank you for the 5-star rating! You can support this project by spreading the word about Toolbar Pushback with your friends and contacts. Enjoy 😉

Awesome, but recently with my 777-300ER when the ground services 'lift' my plane keeps tilting back all the way until my apu is in the ground, this makes me have to cancel pushback in order for me to fall back to ground and I cant actually reverse out of the gate
AmbitiousPilots 5 day(s) ago
Yes, I'm aware of this and it'll be fixed in the next update.
DaliborM 3 day(s) ago
Hello there and thanks for this great mod, i just love it!!!
Unfortunately on every P/B nose of CS B777-300 is being lifted about 10m up from the ground instead just of 20-30cm. Just to add the notice to the prior comment.
Thanks again and keep up the good work!
Goblingut
Apologies if this is a stupid question but does it work with the Ai, and how come it doesn't take me to the runway? Is there an option for this? I will mostly be playing with the AI
AmbitiousPilots 5 day(s) ago
I've tested the pushback with AI enabled and all works fine. However, if you're looking for automated pushback, that's a work in progress.
Timmy351
Thank you for this wonderful tool ! Wondering about the "Cockpit to gound sound" and it´s so awesome ! Make the Sim much better. This is one of the best freeware tools for MSFS ! Thank you so much for your great work.
The only thing i wish in the next updates its that the pusher turn the plane automaticly on the Centerline for Taxi that is the last step to make it perfect.
AmbitiousPilots 5 day(s) ago
Glad you're enjoying Toolbar Pushback. Automated pushback is planned.
FS2020Newbie
Great work, thanks a lot.
AmbitiousPilots 5 day(s) ago

Zireael
Great job, best pushback addon around. Is there any way to use fully with keybinds? Can you increase/decrease speed in any way other than using the mouse?
AmbitiousPilots 7 day(s) ago
Custom keybinds and controls are planned. Thanks for the rating 😉
Coffi
Hey, great work! One questions, sometimes the interactive audio doesn't work. I think it has to do with what state the aircraft is at that moment. Do I need to start pushback before I get Taxi clearance or doesn't matter?
PapaFlight27 7 day(s) ago
Same question
AmbitiousPilots 7 day(s) ago
I've tested both getting the taxi clearance before and after requesting pushback. The result is not consistent and varies with gate and airport. This has something to do with the simulator ATC. I'm on it. Thank you for the 5-star rating!
dhmoore74 7 day(s) ago
I have this issue as well.. I dont hear the interactive voice at all. I have hard time getting pushback to work as reverse and forward are grayed out
Coffi 6 day(s) ago
Thank you for looking at it. Well, fantastic work!
Jackal 2 day(s) ago
If it might be of any help and you didn't notice yet. I suppose it's a problem on Asobo's side: not every gate is working properly, it's a broken feature since a few months. Sometimes it's not possible to connect the jetway and at these gates when you call the bushback via ATC, toolbar pushback kicks in perfectly. On the contrary, when jetways are working and I call the pushback (via ATC), toolbar pushback doesn't start properly and I need to start it from the toolbar. Anyway still a great addon, thanks for your work!
Pixel91
Is it a known issue that all the extra features (plane lift, ground comms) only work for the first pushback of a session?
Once the first pushback is done and the tug dismissed, the extra features stop. Doesn't matter if I recall the tug at the first gate or at another airport after landing. The controls themselves still work, but all the additional stuff stops working.
AmbitiousPilots 7 day(s) ago
This happens once you vacate the gate and has to do with the simulator ATC on how it handles pushback clearance, also when not using the sim ATC directly. I'm investigating this. Thanks for your rating!
tma01
Nice. 5 full stars.
Proposal for the next update: when landing and the runway is vacated, the yellow car appears to guide you to the assigned parking or the one you indicate
AmbitiousPilots 7 day(s) ago
Thanks for the feedback and 5-star rating!
Maltos
It randomly starts to pushback and there is no way to move the plane...Any fix?
AmbitiousPilots 7 day(s) ago
Are you using the latest version of the add-on? With which aircraft and at what airport did this happen?
Maltos 6 day(s) ago
All airports, FBW A320 and yes I use the latest version
AmbitiousPilots 5 day(s) ago
I'm flying the FBW A32NX frequently myself and haven't had this issue. Are you planning your flight inside the world menu before starting a flight or do you enter the flight plan manually through the MCDU?
Maltos 5 day(s) ago
manually in the MCDU with SimBrief
AmbitiousPilots 4 day(s) ago
Just did another flight with the A32NX with a simbrief flight plan and pushback works fine. Could be another add-on interrupting. Do you use any add-on related to cockpit / flight experience?
Maltos 4 day(s) ago
yes I have some other addons, I will try it without these
Rickstir66
brilliant add-on, i love the way the plane lifts up and the voices make this so immersive. Awesome
AmbitiousPilots 9 day(s) ago
Thank you for the 5-star rating! Yes, that really adds realism to the feeling of the sim. Enjoy 😉

Great little mod, excellent.

AmbitiousPilots 10 day(s) ago
Good to hear the reinstall made EVERYTHING WORKING 😉 I've added this solution as an entry in the FAQ section.
TangooFoxx
By far the best pushback addon for MSFS, clearly outperforms any other, even payware pushback solution. Voice adds so much to the immersion. Thank you for this great addon!
AmbitiousPilots 10 day(s) ago
Thanks for your comment and 5-star rating! Enjoy Toolbar Pushback 😀
