Pushback problem
Hi all.
I can push straight back using Shift+P, but the 1 & 2 directionals (tail to port/starboard) aren't working.
No KB command issues/conflicts, i.e. "1" is still "Select item 1." I could have sworn it was working okay when I first installed the Steam version, but I've been mostly flying missions in the limited time I've had available. The only thing I've changed to the KB commands setup was changing "K" from the default "Hoist Cable (Raise)" to "Mission Compass Objective (next)."
Game files cache verified and no files missing/corrupt.
Works perfectly in the FSX Deluxe SP2 Boxed version I've been flying for 10 years.
I just got the FSX:SE Premium version a couple weeks ago, during the Flash Sale.
Thanks for any help/advice. :)

These Shift P 1 and 2 have always been buggy for me even in the boxed accel version, in fact, the 1 and 2 is taken into account if it is pressed immediately after Shift P. If you need straight pushback before turning, then start staright pushback with Shift P, then Shift P again to stop staright pushback, and then Shift P 1 or 2 to make the turn.

Pushback is much much better with GSX anyway...

See, that's just it: Pushback has never been buggy for me in the boxed version. I've only got a few thousand hours in FSX, not to mention all the other versions going all the way back to FS1. I shouldn't have to buy GSX for my pushback needs, and can't afford it right now anyway.
I do appreciate your advice, though. Anyone else got any ideas?

I can only pushback straight in FSX. GSX does provide cardinal directional control, but as you said, it costs $ and FSX should have that functionality already.
