This is another version of BetterPushbackC by skiselkov with some changes.
This is a pushback plugin for the X-Plane 11 flight simulator. It provides an overhead view to plan a pushback route and accomplishes a fully automated "hands-off" pushback, letting the user focus on aircraft startup and other pilot duties during pushback. It can of course also tow you forward, or perform any arbitrarily complicated pushback operation. To increase immersion, it speaks to you in a variety of languages and accents, simulating ground staff at various places around the world.

To build BetterPushback yourself you need either a Linux or a Mac
machine. The Windows version is built through cross-compiling from Linux.
For the pre-requisites on each platform, see qmake/build-win-lin or
qmake/build-mac. Once you have everything installed, run the script
labeled build_release from this directory. It drives the build and
compiles everything as necessary.
