There is no support for GTN integration in the VC but you could add the 2d gauge. Just not sure that it work with the autopilot system. AFAIK there are no plans to add additional items to it.

The pilot and copilot are already shown but as far as I know there will be no option for chocks, GPU or gear pins etc added.

Hi, over time there has been lots of issues with pushback since FSX. If any of default mappings were changed for 1 or 2 or sometimes camera addons like EzDok can break the pushback function in the sim.

Maybe try this free utility:

Hello Steve,

I downloaded the utility you suggested I could use for the push back issue, having reviewed the important "read me" file I would not have the confidence on my own to adjust the .cfg setting mentioned, would you be able to guide me in attempting this task all I want is the pushback element facility to apply to the milviz 737-200 A/C .

On a side issue will this utility work with other A/C where the shift +P 1 or 2 dont function.

Best Regards
Charlie

PS I am really a novice with such tweaks etc.

Yes it will work with any plane but I can't provide you support for that. Several posts on SOH and Avsim on getting it setup etc.

The 1 & 2 for steering during pushback doesnt even have mappings that you can change in the sim...thus it's problematic. Any number of things can break it. Many people can't get it to work with even default aircraft.

It's not something that is directly a problem of our product.

If you have rudder pedals with brakes you can just shift P and use those as you are backing up, that works too.
