Capn kamikaze Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Since last patch I've not been able to hook up again. Bar is down, plane is perfectly aligned, and in the right spot, almost inch perfect, but it won't hook up when pressing "u". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldpop Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Ditto as well. If I spawn on CV it works OK. but after a trap, no go again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceviper Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Yeah we had that the other night as well. Thought it was just a random bug. Sent from my POT-LX1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reflected Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I can't hook up even if I spawn on the carrier, but parked. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderMuffin Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 So here is what I've done on Banklers 5.10 mission to make it work with f18. 1. Spawn on Catapult and go around and land (it throws errors for every time it would normally give you feedback. Just hit Enter on your keyboard to resume.) 2. Once on deck and kind of lined up on catapult one, contact ATC and request start-up, then request take-off. Blast Doors should come up but you don't connect to catapult. Then abort takeoff and Blast Doors start to go down. Get your launch bar ready and hit "U" on keyboard and it hooks up. Hope it works for ya'll! :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haptor Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 For me, asking to abort take off via radio menu makes the trick. Then I press "U" again and get hooked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AegisFX Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I havent experienced this issue. It sounds like you all are on the beta? Think its possible you were damaged either in the landing or during your flight? Then a repair?

VpR81 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 For me, asking to abort take off via radio menu makes the trick. Then I press "U" again and get hooked That works for me as well. But only for Cat 1 & 2. Cat 3 & 4 throws me away as soon as i press "U" and my plane crashes into the water. Didn´t test it in SP though, but experienced that on every MP server i joined today...

JUICE-AWG Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 You have to be in the sweet spot range to the catapult with launch bar down and hit U to hook up...go F2 if needed until you get a visual reference from within the cockpit. Be in the dark zone behind the shuttle or within 2-3 feet of the zone and it should hook up. If you are at too far laterally left or right, or if you are too far back or forward of the shuttle area, it may not connect you. Remember to raise your launch bar switch in the cockpit before launching. It will stay connected and enjoy! "There are only two types of aircraft, Fighters and Targets."

Bar is down, plane is perfectly aligned, and in the right spot, almost inch perfect, but it won't hook up when pressing "u". As of 29 Feb 2020, I landed on the Stennis, with the Hornet, and was able to hook up and disconnect from all four catapults! The carrier is kinda broken since 2.5.6, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt, sometiems it launches you vertically The Lights and COMMs are surely broken now!
