Pushback with bar #93

Open liebbe10 opened 7 years ago

liebbe10 commented 7 years ago

Are you planning to implement pushbacks using bars/is this possible with your plugin?

skiselkov commented 7 years ago

Right now this isn't possible, but I'd like to work on it some time soon. Can you find good side/top view diagrams of some towbar trucks from Tugtech or Trepel? I couldn't find much of anything to get started on modeling it.

liebbe10 commented 7 years ago

For now i found these...don't now if this is sufficient information?

Well it's a start. I'll see what I can do with that.

Nice. And dirty as all hell :)

I would love to see this feature also. I would say more of the short haul airlines here in the US use this type of pushback. Southwest, Spirit, Jet Blue etc.

@CaptainBoeing Thanks for the input. I'll keep this in mind when designing the pushback type selection logic.
