Hi William,

that's a good support. Will do some experiments next days, it's an ongoing interesting project.
Thank you for help.

Okay, I did create some models which I set like your suggestions.

So first success , but with the Harrier only so far:

There are several experiences currently:
- Changing the aircraft while using the custom pushback disable the custom pushback, it is greyed out and you only can use the Ground Assist Tug.
- The respective Tugs are only usable for only one aircraft (the Harrier in my case) - caused by the individual contact points of the aircraft naturally.

Using the Chevy for example for a F-16, the pole does not fit the nose gear, naturally.

Now I am currently doing some experiments with 3 different pole lengths - short, medium and long - and try to adjust those halfway to the different aircraft. For that, I can attach longer tow couplings for more tolerances on the noise gears.
Very interesting...

The model selection is per-aircraft, that is why it reverts to disabled in the options when you select another aircraft.

All you need to do is select "Custom" from the drop-down again, and the Edit button will become active.
