if u go for colder weather, how do u stop the airspeed indicator from failing and resetting itself to zero. think this happens mostly on the 747.

when u do shift+p for pushback, how do u go about tailing left or right. i find that pushing 1 or 2 does not turn the plane.

thanks

You have to run Pitot Heat on to stop the pitot tube (this measures your airspeed) freezing up. That is when your speed gauge doesn't function.

Make sure you are press SHIFT + P, and then tapping 1 or 2 quickly after. If this doesn't work, I'm not sure what to do 😉

That's the way to do it. But after pressing 1 or 2 you have to wait a little bit and the aircraft will turn.
