NZFF

NZWN to NZAA A320 set up route and sids and star via microsofts world page , during flight checked FMC and NZAA 23L Heading was 25 degrees not 23 and sure enough ILS landing with LOC and G/S but lined up to the right of runway . Have done this landing before and was perfect ? Also sometimes you are denied pushback and other times o.k at same airport , it it gate specific ? Lots of traffic (other players and ANZ flights) player Jeff landed 747 /8 in front of me but couldn't see if he was lined up correctly.

Hmmm .... I've made loads of 23L ILS landings (as my test route is NZAA-NZWN-NZAA) and don't remember it being mis-aligned.

As regards push-back ... are you at an actual *gate*? I find it doesn't work at all *parking* slots. Also - you occasionally get told that other ground services are unavailable "Can't find the baggage" is a hilarious one! However - if you wait a bit, the ground crew appear to co-operate. Are they allowed tea breaks on the job?
