I have a quick and pretty easy question.... when pushing back from the gate, isnt there a way to have to tow car spin your plane around...like push you back to the left or the right? Ive heard people say it is shift+P+2, and Shift+P+1, but neither of those are working.. Can i program it in my FSX controls settings? Thanks

You have to hit 1 or 2 right after you do shift-P

Otherwise get GSX. http://fsdreamteam.com/products_gsx.html

You do not have to hit 1,2 right after you hit Shift p... Hit Shift P... Watch the A/C go backwards. Do not touch any other key or buttons... When you are ready for it to turn, press 1 or 2 to turn left or right....

Got it!! It worked! Thank you all so much! Also..I hate to shoot all these questions out there but i do have another...I use FSINN/FSCOPILOT and I have never had any problems with it. All of the sudden, the button on my yoke that I programmed using the FSFDT control panel to talk to the tower, is not working anymore. I know that the button works however it just won't work for what I need it to..so I went to the FSFDT control panel and went to vatsim and then key mappings I think..and I clicked "set" to asign another button on my yoke, for tower com..after I hit set, I pressed the button I wanted, but it wouldn't recognize that I was pressing any button..any thoughts? The left control key on my keyboard still works cause I assigned it, but id love if I could just use my yoke. Thanks

I recommend upgrading to vPilot. http://vpilot.metacraft.com/

I used to forget which direction was which. Now I use the following..
1 = turn the way of the Pilot,
2 = turn the way of the Co-pilot.

Works in my small world. Yahoo!
