Shimmergloom667 Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) While the Jester Assisted Startup on Land works flawlessly, on a carrier he stops around halfway-ish through the process, before sweeping the wings forward in emergency mode, and tells me we are ready to taxi, which we are most definitely not. User created mission, nothing fancy, simply spawning on the Stennis with a few waypoints. Anyone else notice something similar? Gotta doublecheck later today where he stops, so far it has been reproducable.

sLYFa Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 before sweeping the wings forward in emergency mode, You mean when you sweep forward for the flaps/spoilers check or for take-off? The former is not performed on the deck. Maybe that confuses jester. i5-8600k @4.9Ghz, 2080ti , 32GB@2666Mhz, 512GB SSD
Shimmergloom667 Posted March 18, 2019 Author Posted March 18, 2019 You mean when you sweep forward for the flaps/spoilers check or for take-off? The former is not performed on the deck. Maybe that confuses jester. I mean the former - if that is really not performed, that would explain it, I guess - feels weird not to check a single piece of wingsweep / flaps / spoilers equipment on deck, though... I suppose that would be done with the Wing Sweep BIT, that is not yet implemented? i7 - 9700K | 32 GB DDR4 3200 | RTX 2080 | VKB Gunfighter Mk II /w MCG Pro | Virpil T-50CM2 Throttle | TrackIR 5 | VKB Mk.

sLYFa Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) The pre-taxi wingsweep and control surface checks are not performed on deck , there is just not enough space on deck to perform these checks. The wings/flaps/spoilers are checked once you are on the cat by cycling controls. The wingsweep BIT performed in OVSP and does not move the wings. Im not sure if it is modelled since I dont have the F-14 (yet), but you can check by having wings in OVSP and selecting wingsweep bit the master test switch. Observe the following during BIT: Wingsweep limit pointer shows (the little arrow left of the wingsweep tape on the indicator) 40°; Illumination of: Wingsweep advisory (not caution!) light, flap caution light and reduce speed warning light. After 25 seconds, the lights will go out and the pointer will go back to 20°, indicating a successful test. The startup and preflight checklists do not mention performing this test, maybe someone with RL expirience can comment of when this BIT was actually performed.

Shimmergloom667 Posted March 18, 2019 Author Posted March 18, 2019 That explains it beautifully, sLYFa, thanks for that! The Wing Sweep BIT is, like I said, not yet implemented (will be later in EA), thus I was confused. Now the pieces fall together, though. Smart guy, that Jester. i7 - 9700K | 32 GB DDR4 3200 | RTX 2080 | VKB Gunfighter Mk II /w MCG Pro | Virpil T-50CM2 Throttle | TrackIR 5 | VKB Mk.
