CVN Cat 1 launch after trap - ATC recycle needed

[Gierasimov]

I see that there is a small bug or a change perhaps.

A little bit of background, I created my mission for the carrier traps training in 2.5.5.xxx and it was working in pretty much this order:

 

taxi to cat 1

hook up to shuttle - U on the keyboard

set avionics

launch

return

trap

repeat from top of the list

 

This was working without talking to Stennis ATC, apart from inbound calls which I always do, but I was skipping request for start-up & taxi. Once connected to the shuttle (with U key) ATC cleared me and JBDs were going up.

 

In the OB 2.5.6.43872, once I trap, the hooking up does not work if I don't "recycle" take - off clearance - so the steps above on mission start are the same, but once I trap, I have to play with ATC:

taxi to cat 1, go to ATC menu:

ask for take-off, abort take off and follow the rest of the list,

OR abort take-off (as ATC is already in take-off mode), ask for it and abort it before I can successfully attach to the shuttle, at which point ATC clears me again fo take off.

 

I am also getting some cleared to taxi to runwa (cut) calls and once I even received taxi to parking upon requesting take-off.

 

Track attached, I wanted to keep it as short as possible so, I wasn't paying too much attention to the textbook pattern and all, about 11 minutes total.

Interesting. I will try the ATC trick, but I can't even launch for the first time (F-14) when I start "parking hot".

This is in Single Player I should add. I think there are other issues in MP as well if I remember correctly - not my cup of tea.
