Just today my Jetseat has power (with the power light) on the little controller lit regardless of whether the switch is on or off. I can only turn it off by pulling the plug. Anyone see that before?

Do the new ones have the same names? I have the old ones in a dozen or so missions probably....

Two weeks

VF-84 on the Big Stick were my top favorite Tomcat liveries, so no please don't. I would definitely consider getting a follow on campaign with VF-11 and VF-31 on Forrestal. Or ideally VF-103 Sluggers and VF-74 on Saratoga. Another collaboration with Bio and having VF-1 and VF-2 on Ranger doing Earnest Will, Outer Air Battle exercises would be the best.

I was able to purchase through Steam on the 28th and activated fine.

It's clearly his advanced HUD.

I still have the old ones. Not sure what the October update was. Maybe built into the nextpatch?

Yeah just tried it. If I start on the cat hot, I can launch from Cat 3 but wouldn't let me hook up. I tried behind the shuttle, slightly past it, too. Also tried after an AI took off and tried with no one on the cat first, no difference.

Looks like the links are dead, as is the updated Final Countdown mission.

Did you ever get your VF-84 set finished?

I followed the instructions and "Forrestal 1987" showed up in the pulldown but it looks identical. Works for me.

For Enterprise, I would want the nuclear Long Beach and Bainbridge. Truxtun, California and Virginia CGN would be nice, too.

Check out these He also did the Final Countdown mission.

FWIW, I spend most of the tutorial on a new plane doing my HOTAS mappings. Since the defaults are usually keyboard bindings I'm rarely going to use.

IA case I, as well.

Adding static shooters and green shirts in between cats 1 and 2 goes a long way. Would prefer the animated crew come in, but would be ok with it as is. Just come out with Saratoga and Ranger or just let the current model put on livery with the right number and name maybe. What I really want for Supercarrier level is Enterprise. Maybe Nimitz and Ike.

Bio's Tomcat RIO book made it sound like RIO would keep adding more on long flights.

Grumman offered to take them off, to save cost, maintenance but it was refused... someone thought they could be useful in the intercept role, maybe. There is an anecdote that some pilots figured out they helped in certain low speed maneuvers and were manually deploying them but they weren't designed for that and were causing damage. The shape was useful enough that they were built in permanently in ST-21 and were going to store some extra fuel.

Best solution there is for the carrier to be skinable and have fresh and dirty versions in the pull-down menu in the mission editor. If not change the number on the bow & island and name on the stern for the other ships in class). The latter wouldn't catch some of the antenna or mast changes but would let the community relieve some man hours from HB's plate.

Any chance for Saratoga tomorrow? :ducks:

Lighting was screwed up on the F-14, so hopefully that's fixed.

Nimitz, Ike and Enterprise are definitely needed. Give Stennis the SC model but maybe leave off the deck crew and cities goodies. Maybe a late Cold War Asset Pack could include the SC Nimitz subclass, Enterprise, and appropriate escorts.

I usually try to get the launch bar right over the shuttle in F2 view on non SC. That plane captain and basic moving deck crew should be standard.

Anyone using a cover for when they're not in use?
