Using the Tow Bar

[captain744]

Anyone know how to use the towbar function. Not documented anywhere????

[RaulKO]

Not sure if there is a function attached to it... I think it is rather a visual only thing...

You can press [SHIFT] + [P] at anytime in MSFS to start or stop a manual pushback.

@RetiredMan93231 yep, but that's not a tow bar related feature, but a sim related one...

Yeah, but special to this addon is that the towbar is automatically shown when you start pushback and it is hidden afterwards I was a bit surprised to see that.

Other than that the towbar toggle in the EFB is just visual.

Currently the tow bar is just a visual feature and, as noted by copper, it automatically toggles when using the MSFS pushback system.

The FSX/P3D version has a custom tow bar panel due to the poor in-built pushback system but I'm not sure if the MSFS version needs one?
