AI not launching from carrier (2.5.2.20143)

[Ahmed]

Hello,

 

Since today's update, AI are freezing when launching from carrier (tested on S-3 and F-14A), halfway dawn the cat track.

I have the same behavior too. Every AI including wingmen freeze on the cat after launch.

Reproduced and Reported.

This is a TACVIEW record of my experience with AI taking off from carriers.

 

They where launched sideways and they continued "flying" this way for a prolonged period of time.

 

 

The aircraft affected were the E-2C and the SU-33 01 both at 41 seconds.

I wonder if this is ED attempting to fix the AI takeoff issues for the Harrier. I just made a mission with Harriers fully loaded and the wingman takeoff on a runway. Before they would sit on the runway until fuel was low enough to vertically lift off runway.

 

Haven’t tested from a FARP yet to see if they can still takeoff vertically.

Have a similar experience when AI doing cat-takeoffs. The screen begins to stutter/glitch an after launch the AI plane was moved to the left like FSXes slew mode

Fixed in the internal version. Will be in next update.

Sorry for inconvenience.

Broken again. When you do a “takeoff from ramp” start from Tarawa, you can hear -2 start up briefly then shutdown and won’t takeoff. He will still acknowledge radio commands but still won’t do anything until after player ejects or dies.

 

When doing a “takeoff from runway” on Tarawa, -2 will run into the player after 10-20 seconds.

 

Please for the love of all DCS, fix the Harrier AI. It’s now been over a year and they still don’t do a proper startup or takeoff.

And these old Harrier AI bug:

 

Hanging in the air engines stopped just after launch.
