Aircraft Pushback

[xoknight]

You may be wondering what a pushback is, ever been to a airport and those funny little cars that drive by that some look like trains, or a giant tread mill? Well a pushback is one of those funny cars that well, moves the airplane.

Well I made one of those, and it works pretty good. It can pull a pretty big aircraft according to my tests.

I don't think the Xenomorphs will take too kindly to that.

I have been having problems with the locking. it will lock, but the plane always slips away.

Hi! I literally made an acc. to reply to this post.I made a 747 using the SXT mod and tweakscaled it to 5.0m, the gear is from the adjustable landing gear mod.So will it be able to do it or is it just to big?

The landing gears in the latest version doesn't have hitboxes, luckily air brakes do!

I've made my own version of a pushback with air brakes. Download it here:

And also check out my other creations too! I've been needing some ideas for airport vehicles and whatnot.
