Hi Durk,

I ran FLightGear from the commandline, using:
fgfs --airport=YMML --aircraft=ufo --start-date-gmt=2008:05:03:02:15 
--log-level=debug
I entered this command line into a terminal window, took off in the UFO and banked around to get a look at the AI aircraft on the tarmac. I hit the 't' key to accelerate time to the scheduled departure time... and the AI aircraft started its pushback! It turned around, taxied to runway 27, and took off!

Well, blow me down!

So it tried my usual FlightGear command line, as follows:
fgfs --airport=YMML --aircraft=ufo --timeofday=noon

...and it /still/ worked! It started its pushback immediately, but I'm certain that I Didn't Change Anything(tm) since my last post. Anyway, it is working, and I am very impressed. Congratulations to you and the rest of the development team.
Incidentally, if you have something going, I'd be happy to "officially" include them in our data directory.
Great. It will be some time before I have anything I'd like to make "official", though. I'm still getting to know FlightGear.
One thing to note Re: FlightGear 0.9.10 is that it contains a small hard coded push back sequence. This has been implemented in a more appropriate way in FlightGear 1.0.0.
Yes, the pushback sequence I saw would have collided with some nearby terminal buildings. I'm not too fussed about that, though. I need to create a much more realistic ground network before I can comment on the ground movements.
This actually made me think that we probably should have some more meaningful messages.
Yes, please.

Regards,
Greg Hawkes
