GroundAssist contains two functions that are useful for ground-based operations:

Pushback
- Allows user to control a pushback tug, and receive visual feedback regarding speed and turn direction.
- Optional animated tug model, including GSX models if installed.
- Optional use of a controller axis to drive the tug.
- Optional camera that shows the pushback tug during operations in a docked or undocked window, allowing you to multitask.
- Ability to use a custom tug model of the user’s choosing, with advanced attribute editing.
Taxi Autothrottle
- Works similar to an in-flight autothrottle, but meant for taxiing.
- No more fiddling with throttle controls to find that uniform thrust sweet spot!
- Select from three preset speeds, and use mouse wheel to quickly adjust.
- Throttle levers are uniformly and smoothly operated.
- Automatically tuned for the aircraft weight and engine thrust.

Changes to Taxi Autothrottle
- Improve MSFS 2024 and 2020 support.
- Add oscillation damper data for standard MSFS 2024 big iron.
- Allow custom throttle controller attributes. See the user manual for additional information.
Changes to Pushback
- Improve GSX tug model matching.
- Call for wheel chock removal when tug connects, instead of before tug moves (only for supported aircraft – currently PMDG on P3D).
- Add advanced configuration for custom tug models. See the user manual for additional information.
