Look out your windows to see where you’re going and to avoid crashing into anything.Watch the tug move toward your aircraft.It’s easy to remember: 1 is to left, 2 is to right.To push toward your left or right, press the 1 or 2 key immediately after Shift P.Press Shift P to initiate the pushback.Use progressive taxi or the top-down view.Look at the yellow guidelines on the pavement.Determine whether you need to push straight, left, or right.It will move away after the doors are closed. Be sure all ground equipment is clear of the aircraft.Get taxi clearance from Air Traffic Control.You will decide whether to go straight out, or turn left or right, and when to stop.

The difference is that you will guide the pushback from your cockpit whereas a tug driver and a ramp agent with outside views guide it in the real world. FSX simulates this aspect fairly realistically. In the real world, a small truck called a “tug” hooks up to the nose wheel and pushes the aircraft backward from the gate. Jetways do not work with aircraft they were not intended for such as general aviation.In the real world, passenger doors are usually opened and closed while jetways are secured in place.FSX jetways engage and disengage whether the passenger door is open or closed.They work with some add-on aircraft and not with others, depending on how the developers program their products.Jetways work best with default Microsoft aircraft.Use this period to request and receive clearance to taxi.When you are ready to move out, close the main passenger door with Shift E.Allow your passengers to emplane or deplane while you do your cockpit checklist.After the jetway is secured, use the Shift E keyboard command to open your main passenger door.Use this time to request and receive IFR clearance from Air Traffic Control.This is consistent with real-world operations. The jetway takes a minute or so to line up with your aircraft.Position the nose wheel on or near the yellow cross bars painted on the ramp.If your aircraft is on the wrong side of the jetway, it will not work.Place your aircraft at a gate with a working jetway according to the white pavement markings.You can do your cockpit checklist and communicate with air traffic control while the jetway moves into place. They work in the basic FSX and Steam® versions. Their use in Microsoft Flight Simulator® is simple and easy. The official industry name is: Passenger Boarding Bridge, or PBB. Jetways are telescoping passenger ramps between airport terminal buildings and aircraft. Then click on OK in the lower right to save your setting.Click the box next to Advanced Animations.On the top line menu, click on Options, then Settings, then Display.Make sure your advanced animations are engaged: You can jump to individual sections using the jump links below: They will make your gate operations more realistic, and they are very easy to do. Using jetways and pushbacks enhances the simulation experience where your flights begin - at the airport terminal gates.
