Hello guys,
also had the problem to be not able to catch a wire on the Essex.
It worked in my own mission until I put some other ships into the group of the carrier.
The heading didnt change a thing as i tried different ones after reading this thread.
I deleted the whole group and just put in the Essex again and it worked, then I put some other ships back into the group and bam wasn´t working.
Not sure what exactly causes this.
Update:
I had two Essex in my Group, one with parked planes in the back of the deck (only for coldstart and takeoff) and the other one with a clean deck.
The wires on the clean one didnt work, but on the carrier with the parked planes they did. So I just switched the parked planes from one to the other carrier and now its working for me.
Still dont know whats the issue
