About

Pushback2D

Features
Read full description

Two pivots. One precise pushback. Steer the tug, read the angles at both ends of the towbar, and guide the aircraft backwards into position. Time your steering and bring the aircraft to a precise stop in this 2D pushback simulator. Play STRAIGHT for free. Completing STRAIGHT unlocks a free 90° turn trial. You can retry the trial as many times as you like until your first completed 90° turn. The Turn Pack is a one-time purchase. It includes left and right 90° turns, offsets, and transfers to the next stand with both towbar and towbarless tractors. The towbarless tractor holds the nose gear directly, offering a different handling challenge. Take on 6 paid routes and 12 challenges, with position, heading, and alignment scored out of 1000. Aim for a more precise stop and improve your best score. Select forward or reverse with F/R and a speed range with H/L. Adjust your view with ZOOM/WIDE and the camera follow setting. Keyboard controls are also supported. Play in landscape on iPhone and the iPhone Duo outer display. On iPad and the iPhone Duo inner display, controls and menus adapt to the available space.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Pushback2D at none against Hitline's shown. Pushback2D also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). Hitline's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
