[ATC] - Post-pushback delay before taxi

:bullseye: What is your suggestion?
Add a short delay after pushback before taxiing begins, to allow time for engine start-up.

:hammer_and_wrench: How would it work in the game?
After pushback is completed, the aircraft would pause for a few extra seconds before beginning to taxi. This simulates the real-world procedure where pilots start engines and perform checks after pushback. The delay could be randomized slightly to add variety and realism.

:balance_scale: Why is this a good idea?
This small change would greatly enhance realism. In reality, aircraft do not begin taxiing immediately after pushback — there’s a brief pause for engine start-up and systems checks. Adding this to the game makes operations feel more authentic without affecting pacing too much.

I hope this gets a lot of votes and dev attention!

Maybe also make sure the aircraft is align with the taxiway guide line and wait for engines start will be the best!

The devs said they will rework the pushback animation as well as other things with the stand update. So i guess this will be included

To add on to the previous thing i mentioned, Twin otters and other turbo aircraft have reverse theust to push themselves back so that should be another thing.

This is something we’ve been planning to do—thank you for the extra push! We’re prioritizing it as a feature for one of the upcoming updates.
