cmfrosty Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Not a rant. All the solutions I tried last week did not work this morning. Here is some footage of this mornings test. Taxied to Cat 3 attempted to connect to catapult - I did not dial in tower frequency. I accidently hit F2 aborting take off before connecting but tower frequency was not dialed in. Taxied to Cat 3, dialed in tower frequency - requested take off, no reply at all. I have the track file (video taken from that), I also have the log file but wont post that publicly The flight was conducted on the VUSN multiplayer server Edited February 21, 2020 by cmfrosty
jeffdude Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 I have the same, My track won't upload it's 24MB and the log doesn't show anything. These problems persist with today's patch to the latest version. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
cmfrosty Posted February 22, 2020 Author Posted February 22, 2020 Just retested again after this mornings efforts. I had a squadron mate flying and taxiing on Deck. Please bear with me while I outline what we did because I think I found something. I found that connecting to Cat will work however there appears to be a bug around CATs 3&4. On separate occasions we both got thrown off the deck or over it. We were contacting ATC requesting take off etc. Then I found this. I took off cat 4, landed. Then requested engine restart as it was the only option it ATC F10 menu. I taxied to parking near the bridge on the carrier. I requested take off and taxied to the fantail to turn around for CAT 3. Permission was granted and gave QFE. As I turned around to line up, I noticed the Deflector Shield was up for CAT 3. So I taxied near the blast shield, no where near the shuttle and on a hunch attempted to connect to the shuttle, expecting it would not due to distance, and expecting something else as well. Tapped 'U' to connect and yeehaa, I got thrown over the deck. Some thing to look at???. I Have the log, I will check the replay as it was on the boat and I had done a couple of patterns, I may not make it that far in the video. I have asked my colleague for his replay so it may be on there Again flying on VUSN multiplayer server
cmfrosty Posted February 22, 2020 Author Posted February 22, 2020 Sorry for the waffle, but reflecting on the bug. It appears if the BDS is raised and you are not connected to the catapult, then you may get thrown off the deck on CATs 3 & 4. My understanding is that when you connect to the cat, the BDS raises at the same time or Lowers if you disconnect. ATC raised a BDS before I had even decided which CAT to take and was no where near one. Just a thought. Big Newy - let me know if you want the logs and replay files
