FS2Crew: Pushback Express
Update History:
V2. 2. 3 - Major update! Distance Pushback Mode now uses a "Arrow" model that users can physically place over the taxiway line to preset the pushback heading and distance.
This essentially gives users semi-automatic pushbacks to the taxiway line without using "Rudder Control".
This is a major advancement that no one else currently does.
Also, PBE updates are now installed via the new FS2Crew Product Manager. This makes it super easy to update your... Update History:

Following on from their popular Hawk T1/A Advanced Trainer and PA-28 family of aircraft for MSFS, Just Flight's in-house team has developed this highly detailed simulation of the 146 regional jet following comprehensive, hands-on research with a real-world aircraft, G-JEAO, which retired from service with British European Airways in 2000 and is now preserved at the de Havilland Aircraft Museum, and the CC. Mk2 and C. Mk3 aircraft of Royal Air Force, 32 (The Royal) Squadron.
Just Flight ... Following on from their popular Hawk T1/A Advanced Trainer and PA-28 family of aircraft for MSFS, Just Flight's in-house team has developed this highly detailed simulation of the 146 regional jet following comprehensive, hands-on research with a real-world aircraft, G-JEAO, which retired from service with British European Airways in 2000 and is now preserved at the de Havilland Aircraft Museum, and the CC. Mk2 and C. Mk3 aircraft of Royal Air Force, 32 (The Royal) Squadron.
Just Flight are excited to bring you the 146 ‘Whisper Jet’ – featuring the 100, 200 and 300 series of this classic British airliner. The design process of what was to become the 146-100 began under Hawker Siddeley in 1973, when the iconic high T-tail, short undercarriage, four engines and distinctive airbrake were chosen to produce a regional airliner with short-field performance and quiet operation. The 146-100 first flew in 1981, followed by the stretched 200 series in 1982 and the 300 series in 1988.
The Royal Air Force purchased three 146-100s in 1986 and these were operated by The Queen's Flight, designated the CC. Mk2 ‘Statesman’ and equipped with VIP cabins. The aircraft were used to transport the British royal family and senior members of the UK military and government.
The 146 was also popular with cargo operators due to its excellent capacity and low engine noise, allowing for night flights into city airports. Two cargo variants were developed: the convertible passenger and freight variant (QC) and the freight-only Quiet Trader (QT). The Royal Air Force also operated two 200QC aircraft, designated the C. Mk3.
Eight variants of the 146 are included in this product – the 100 to 300 passenger variants, the 200QC and QT, 300 QT, RAF CC. Mk2 ‘Statesman’ and C. Mk3 – offering a wide variety of configurations, ranges and flight operations across the globe.
The exterior models are stunningly detailed, featuring 8K and 4K textures for incredible clarity and the latest Physical Based Rendering (PBR) material technology to produce realistic metallic, plastic and glass surfaces. Realistic animations include trailing-edge flap mechanisms, spoilers, large tail-mounted airbrake and all passenger and cargo doors.
The Captain and First Officer positions in the cockpit are modelled with hundreds of functional switches, knobs and controls. The aircraft features complex custom-coded systems based on real-world FCOMs, including hydraulic, electrical, fuel and pressurisation, and the cockpit is also fitted with a functional Thrust Management System (TMS) and comprehensive navigation equipment which includes traditional navigation equipment for tracking VORs, NDBs and ILSs, as well as two types of FMS for RNAV navigation.
The aircraft are brought to life with immersive dynamic lighting and 3D Wwise sounds, with unique flight dynamics for each variant and custom effects from condensation and contrails to realistic exterior lighting.
The 146 was flown all around the world and over 40 airline liveries from the UK, USA, Europe and Australia are included, bringing you many iconic airlines and paint schemes.
See the Detailed Description below for full details of all the aircraft features and you can also take a look at the PDF manuals: 146 Professional Operations Manual, UNS-1 FMS Manual, EFB manual.
New features - the 146 Professional has received many significant updates/upgrades since the original release, with a plethora of changes being made to the aircraft systems and visuals, as well as extra features and quality-of-life additions based on community feedback. This all ensures that the 146 Professional is one of the most complete products available for MSFS! The free 'Version 2' update (4 April 2024) adds even more features, including fully interactable passenger cabins, a UNS-1 Flight Management System and boarding simulation. A video covering these latest additions can be viewed here.

Fairoaks Airport
Located southwest of London between Chobham and Chertsey in Surrey, Fairoaks is a general aviation airport operated by Fairoaks Operations Ltd.
Fairoaks opened as a private airstrip in 1931, but was used by the military from 1936 and became RAF Fairoaks during World War II. It was used as a training airfield, with No. 18 Elementary & Reserve Flying School equipped with De Havilland Tiger Moths. 6,000 pilots were trained at the airfield.

Fairoaks opened as a private airstrip in 1931, but was used by the military from 1936 and became RAF Fairoaks during World War II. It was used as a training airfield, with No. 18 Elementary & Reserve Flying School equipped with De Havilland Tiger Moths. 6,000 pilots were trained at the airfield. In 1968 the Alan Mann Group took control of the airfield, later constructing the hard runway in 1979.
In 2015, it was announced that the airport would be closed to build a 1,500 unit housing development to be known as “Fairoaks Garden Village”. This has resulted in a years-long battle to save this historic airport. On 15 February 2022, the original control tower was decommissioned, being replaced by a temporary control room provided by Helipad Aviation Services located adjacent to taxiway B. Recent works to the west side of the airport, have also put taxiway A out of action.
Fairoaks Airport has been accurately recreated by Burning Blue Design’s modellers and coders with on-site visits, and features:
- Over 80 custom 3D objects have been created exclusively for Fairoaks airport, each with full Physical Based Rendering (PBR) textures.
- Based on 2022 layout of Fairoaks.
- Includes new ‘temporary’ control tower adjacent to taxiway B.
- High resolution colour corrected ground textures.
- Working custom Windsocks.
- Open hangar parking and café interiors.
- Also included is ‘Firebird 3’, in honour of the retired Ford F-150 which was based at Fairoaks until 2019.
- Dynamic scenery and lighting, which change realistically depending on the time of day and weather.
- Correct Tower frequency, AI pattern procedures and accurate taxiway placement. (Taxiway A has been left active to reflect a fully operational airport)
- McLaren Technology Centre and Production Centre POI.

Airport LIVE Ai New
Bring your airports to life.
Airports are busy, cluttered and often untidy environments. Aircraft arrive and depart, ground crews move between stands, and service vehicles work continuously to keep operations running. By default, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 does not show this activity, leaving airports feeling bare and dull.

Airports are busy, cluttered and often untidy environments. Aircraft arrive and depart, ground crews move between stands, and service vehicles work continuously to keep operations running. By default, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 does not show this activity, leaving airports feeling bare and dull.
Airport Live AI by Thelo Simulations is the complete solution that brings airports to life with intelligent, automated ground activity.
Airport Live AI detects nearby aircraft and generates varied ground-service activity for them. From baggage handling and catering to service vehicles and ground personnel, it creates a more convincing airport environment; it works when flying online, alongside AI traffic, or even can be used to service your own aircraft.
Intelligent activity, without the hassle
Airport Live AI is designed to make airport environments feel naturally busy without requiring you to manually configure every stand or aircraft. Using real-time aircraft detection and aircraft-specific activity profiles, the software manages ground-service scenes automatically, introducing variation in the vehicles, personnel and operations you encounter.
Key features
- Dynamic ground services: Adds movement and activity around parked aircraft, including ground-service vehicles and personnel.
- Varied airport environments: Rotating scenes and variable activity help keep airports from feeling repetitive.
- Integrated simulator controls: We know you don't want another external app to run, that's why we built an integrated toolbar.
- Aircraft-specific profiles: Tailor ground activity according to aircraft characteristics, save your preferences, and share profiles with the community.
- ALAI's Scene Lab: Take greater control over airport activity using dedicated scene-management tools.
- Optional aircraft servicing: Extend ground activity to your own aircraft, including supported light-aircraft operations.
More atmosphere. More movement. More life.
Whether you're preparing for departure, arriving at a busy international hub or watching aircraft from the terminal, Airport Live AI adds another layer of immersion to your simulation.
Developed by Thelo Simulations for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

TREES LAB – TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR FORESTS IN MSFS 2024
Transform the way forests look and change throughout the year in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024!
Trees Lab is a powerful and easy-to-use Windows application that gives you more control over the trees and vegetation in your simulator. Customize tree height, forest density, autumn colours, seasonal timing, spring blossom and much more.
Whether you want towering conifers in the Alps, spectacular autumn colours over New England, lush summer forests or bare winter landscapes, Trees Lab lets you create the atmosphere you want.
LIVE SEASONS – CHANGE THE LANDSCAPE WHILE YOU FLY
Experience the changing seasons without restarting your flight!
With the Live Seasons feature, you can switch between eight seasonal looks:
- Winter (bare trees)
- Leaf-out
- Spring blossom
- Summer
- Early autumn
- Peak autumn
- Leaf fall
- Late autumn
Fine-tune the season using a slider or adjust how many leaves remain on deciduous trees.
Seasonal changes take effect within seconds while flying. Trees Lab automatically adjusts seasonal dates for the southern hemisphere and allows you to restore your flight's original date.
CUSTOMIZE TREE SIZE AND FOREST DENSITY
Create forests that match your personal preferences.
Adjust the height and amount of vegetation independently for four categories:
- Broadleaf trees
- Conifers
- Palms
- Shrubs
Make conifers twice as tall, create more open woodland, increase forest density or reduce vegetation in selected categories.
Global controls also let you adjust overall tree size, forest density and town vegetation density.
DESIGN YOUR OWN SEASONAL COLOURS
Take control of when and how trees change throughout the year.
Trees Lab allows you to:
- Make autumn colours appear earlier or later.
- Increase or decrease autumn colour intensity.
- Adjust spring leaf-out timing.
- Change blossom timing.
- Fine-tune base leaf colours.
- Create different seasonal behaviour for different tree categories.
Create vivid autumn forests while keeping conifers green, delay spring vegetation or experiment with different seasonal appearances.
CREATE, SAVE AND SWITCH BETWEEN CUSTOM PRESETS
Design your own forest configurations and save them as reusable sets.
Create unlimited custom looks such as:
- Giant Conifers
- Early Fiery Autumn
- Gentle Autumn
- Ancient Forest
- Late Spring
- Blossom Time
- Open Parkland
Activate a saved set whenever you want to change the appearance of your simulator.
Only one set is active at a time, making it easy to switch between different forest styles.
EXPERIMENTAL TEXTURE LAB
For users who enjoy experimenting, Trees Lab also includes a Texture Lab.
Explore the simulator's vegetation textures and experiment with seasonal recolouring, including autumn, golden leaves, red maple, spring, frost and other effects.
Texture Lab can create recoloured leaf textures and organize them into sets.
Please note that Texture Lab is an experimental feature and is still being tested.
SAFE AND REVERSIBLE
Trees Lab is designed to work without modifying the simulator's original files.
Custom vegetation packages are stored separately in the MSFS Community folder.
You can deactivate your custom sets and restart the simulator to return to the default vegetation.
EASY TO USE
- Standalone Windows application.
- No traditional installation required.
- Automatic Community folder detection for Microsoft Store and Steam installations.
- Built-in tree and vegetation discovery.
- Live preview of seasonal tree appearance.
- Save and manage multiple custom configurations.
- Restore default vegetation settings whenever needed.
COMPATIBILITY AND REQUIREMENTS
- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
- Windows PC
- Access to the MSFS 2024 Community folder
- SimConnect. dll from the MSFS 2024 SDK for the optional Live Seasons feature
Live Seasons requires a SimConnect connection. Other customization features work without SimConnect.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Changes made using saved tree sets require restarting Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
Live Seasons changes can be applied during a flight without restarting the simulator.
Trees Lab modifies seasonal timing and intensity through the simulator's vegetation data. Exact autumn leaf colours cannot currently be selected directly.
The simulator does not support falling-leaf animations. The leaf-loss control adjusts how bare the trees appear.
Trees Lab may conflict with other add-ons that modify the same vegetation files. For best results, avoid activating conflicting forest modifications simultaneously.
MAKE EVERY SEASON YOUR OWN
From snowy winter landscapes to colourful autumn valleys and lush summer forests, Trees Lab gives you the freedom to customize the natural world of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
Shape your forests. Control the seasons. Enjoy a different view from the cockpit.
