Sorry if this has been reported before, but I couldn't find it. Does the F-14 not have wheel chocks? Without wheel chocks operation on a carrier at speed is impossible, can't refuel/rearm because F-14 slides back and forth (ground crew will yell "what are you doing?"), and planes parked next to each other collide due to deck slipping?:helpsmilie:

I don't think they are implemented yet or maybe it's a bug. I cannot get chocks via the radio menu on the ramp or carrier prior to starting up or after shutdown

Like BJM said, I don't think they have been implemented fully currently for EA. You can't access them in the F10 menu the normal method.

 

HOWEVER, when I first jumped into the Cat the first night, I used Voice Attack/VAICOM to order the chocks placed. Do NOT do this, as I could not convince, order, bribe, threaten, etc. the ground crew to remove them :P

At the very least make the parking brake not constantly drain brake pressure when set. Brake accumulator pressure should only drain when applying brakes, not when the brakes are held.

On a carrier deck, these should actually be chains securing the aircraft to the deck. Chocks are used on land. I agree we definitely need those.

Is the F-18 able to re-arm when the carrier is turning?

Haha...but seriously, I was just wondering whether that was a specifically an F-14 limitation or perhaps a super-carrier one (in which case wheel chocks wouldn't help).

This used to be a problem and this got fixed long time ago with some ground friction tweaks and compromises. They have to work with ED on this and make proper ground friction model eventually. So imho compromise fix will come soon but wouldn't expect the right model to appear quickly.

Both are used on aircraft carriers, chocks aren't just used on land:
