Unrealistic Pivot-Turn Animation After Pushback

Platform: iOS

Game Version: 3.3.1.

Airport: BKK (Suvarnabhumi Airport)

Description of the Bug:

After completing the pushback procedure at several D-Gates (specifically D1, D2, D7, and D8), the aircraft performs an unnatural maneuver where it pivots sharply on its nose wheel (rotates almost on the spot) to align with the taxiway. The expected behavior is for the aircraft to execute a smooth, continuous turn onto the taxiway at an appropriate speed. This abrupt, unrealistic maneuver breaks immersion.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Select an aircraft (e.g., a Regional Jet like the CRJ or E-Jet) at affected D-Gates (e.g., D1, D2, D7, or D8).

2. Issue the Pushback command.

3. Observe the aircraft immediately after the pushback operation is complete and it reaches the stop point.

4. The aircraft performs an abrupt, on-the-spot rotation (pivot turn) to correct its heading.

Additional Notes:

The issue appears to be related to the logic for the pushback stopping point and the subsequent taxi maneuvering. It seems the control logic forces an immediate, sharp change in direction rather than calculating a realistic taxi curve radius, affecting all narrow-body gates in this specific terminal area.
