Now that we have a pushback feature, I think we should also have a feature to have our aircraft be towed forward without starting the engines.

This could be "nerfed" by being limited to a low tow speed

Fuel isn't a issue because the amount of fuel lost on taxiing is insignificant and tryhard fuel savers will just take off right from their spawn point what

pushback also doesn't consume fuel btw

but you do need to have fuel in the tank for it to work since it's essentially works the same way as reverse thrust trolley

Towing should ONLY be available in airport range

#

me when i just pushback when im out of airport range

#

aero players on their way to demand a limitation to a suggested feature that is not op at all

might as well just limit pushback to only in airport range then

make it slowly accelerate you at a very very slow rate

#

so it can go mach jesus

#

but it'd take 4 centuries

kindred sandal
#

like it tops out at 10 knots

#

but its gonna slowly go faster from there

#

as the speed increases

#

the acceleration approachs 0

#

but it never reaches
