Hey, Everyone:
Since upgrading to 1.7.2 I've been having pushback problems. I engage the pushback function but there's no way to stop it. Despite instructing it which way the tail should point, it just keeps going straight back and doesn't stop. I have to pause the simulator, exit, and start again.
Also, it seems to have lost the function of showing the different payloads on each leg of the flight from the administrator. I really liked that.

Hi Scott,
We've heard reports of this occurring and then "not being a problem". The ACME Pushback is nothing more than our implementation of the SHIFT-P pushback commands, but it seems that something recently has appeared to sporadically intercept the key commands we're sending.
When this happens again, just ensure that your simulator's window is "topmost" and press SHIFT-P (or whatever your key command for the pushback is) to stop the push.
If you have Discovery Logging enabled (via the ENABLE_DISCOVER_LOGGING option) then please email us your FCDU log files. We really want to get to the bottom of this, but we need more data/input to determine what the pattern is.
Regards,

About the payloads... nothing has changed in that regard. We still see all payloads on our flights.
We may need you to ZIP (RAR/7Z/ETC) the manifest/preflight/release files for a multi-leg flight to investigate.
Regards,

Travis, Yes I had the same problem tonight setting up Flt 1207 KHUF-KBLV Charter Pushback would not stop. I delete the flight . Was using the Bronze FCUD. I thought I saw a something on the FCUD PRWatingon?? Though the FCUD mit be causing problem removed the Bronze and replaced with bright grey one? set up another flight 1213 from same airport at different parking spot. Push back worked this time? flew the flight to KHUF to KOWB, OH on Payload never saw this before but when they loaded fuel filled to about 100% full? had 13 pax no problem landing and unload pax.at Owensburg, KY. I suspect you will delete this post but hope you read it first. thank's for the info above. I think there must be some kind problem with this push back thing.? Just checked my Enable_Discover_Logging mine is set =2? Lane

OH I just thought for a Solution for me on the pushback. Just park my plane and turn on slew rotate 180 deg. before setting up flight. then I am ready to taxi out for Takeoff. I am just full of Funnies when I wake up to start the day. I suspect this will get my post deleted for sure. No I will try to send my Adm and FCUD Logs sometime today or tonight. to Travis. I am sure the support team is working on this . They are the A team for solving FSCaptain problems. Have a good one. Lane

Thanks, Travis. Logs are on the way. And I had no trouble with the payloads today. It must have been a one-off. Thanks,

Captains,
I think we have the pushback working better now... at least for me the pushback was not working well at all over the past week or so. Now I have completed three successful pushbacks in a row. No flying, just pushing.... (Phrasing!!)
I wanted to have a new Refresh build for the testers by now, but because of family issues I'll need another day at least. And to make up for the delay, there's the germ of a minor new feature for PLN users - the current expected altitude upon reaching the next waypoint when in Climb and in Descent (useful for those who need to manage "crossing altitudes" when following SIDs or STARs).
Regards,
