Start position in a planner of tug route incorrect

Open michael200kg opened this issue 4 years ago • 8 comments

Hello! It is greatest add on for pushback. Use it every flight. But there is an issue with the start position of planning tug route. It began just about 30 meters backwards from actual aircraft position. See attached picture. IMG_20200424_234931 I use Xplane 11 version 1.41, and the latest ZIBO B738. Pls check it out.

See issue# 307.

Looks the same. Wish you a luck in fixing it! I belive, it would be hard. And one more, if we mentally took in consider this shift, so ultimately plane will be moving exectly in according with the planner. Thus, we still might use this best "pushbacker", I mean it is not blocker or critical issue :-)

The start position of the yellow plane is correct. ie the centre of the map

I think the problem is that the map is not centred on the plane.

For me the magenta & blue lines always start exactly in the centre of the map.

I have the same problem. I use XP 11.50b3 and Oculus Rift VR. Before I had no problems at all.

But in my case, it always starts from a bottom line of the screen

Is there a chance to get a update ? Still waiting for an answer or an repair hint ....

+1 - this is particularly an issue when using Oculus Rift. Previous versions worked fine - even from inside VR I could open the desktop, plan, and then go back into the plane. Now the map is never centered correctly on the starting position - always offset to one side and impossible to move.

Check "sim/graphics/view/field_of_view_horizontal_deg" & "sim/graphics/view/field_of_view_vertical_deg". BetterPushBack seems to want them to be zero since the vulcan version of x-plane 11 came out. You can either change in the x-plane 11 graphics settings or update with datareftool before opening betterpushback.
