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.

Gauge API Server for FSX and Prepar3D

Use of the Standalone Client for FSX and Prepar3D requires installation of the Gauge API Server, which gives GroundAssist access to simulator L-Vars not normally available to applications that run outside of the simulator.

Note: This is not required for most users, because the integrated version of GroundAssist does not require the Gauge API Server.
