Vino Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) I flew the mighty cat yesterday, and everything worked fine. Today, I downloaded the new patch and now I'm unable to use CAT launch. I attach to catapult with U key. Then I push shift + U -combo, but nothing happens. Is there something I should know? :( Edited March 20, 2020 by Vino

Kondor77 Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Unbelievable ED still haven't figured this out. Cynic in me figures we'll have to wait until the Forrestal to have functioning F-14 carrier ops.

viper2097 Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 F-14 won't even work with the Supercarrier during EA, so I guess we Tomcat drivers can see our value. Steam user - Youtube I am for quality over quantity in DCS modules
ben_der Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 My Rio and I tested the Stennis yesterday on the Hoggit Training Server. We came in to land from a Land Base, Landing was fine. Went to Cat 2, hooked right up, launched no Issue. Landed, went to Cat 1, launched, no issue. Landed, went to Cat 1 again, launched again, no issue. Landed, went to Cat 4 due to traffic, launched, no Problems. Did not test Cat 3 due to other people landing. Did not communicate with ingame ATC at all. It hooked up to the shuttle every time with the first press of the button. We had bags, 2 sparrows, 2 sidewinders on and were between 8000 and 5500 pounds of fuel.
Top Jockey Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 I'm being able to launch from the catapult (in single player), by : - do the salute ( Lshift + U ); - pressing twice or keep pressed the kneeling switch again.

Reflected Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 F-14 won't even work with the Supercarrier during EA, so I guess we Tomcat drivers can see our value. It "may not fully work" - which is very different from "won't work". I doubt they woud release it without Tomcats being able to launch and recover. Maybe we won't have hook skipping and stuff like that, but I still hope the basic stuff will work with the SC. This being said I'm also impatiently waiting for the Stennis to regain basic funcionality. I'm no programmer, so I don't know how it works. I don't think it's for lack of trying that it's still broken. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
Reflected Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 PS: Put a flight of AI tomcats on the Stennis with ramp start, they won't take off either :( Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord

ben_der Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 Persian Gulf, some Server running through the Inferno. Spawned on the Carrier, Cat 1 shot went well. Came back to Rearm Refuel, Cat 4 shot went well as well. Buddy had a delayed shot on Cat 1 but managed to get Airborne. Other buddy launched from Cat 2 just fine (they both came in from a Land base). Something is going on but at least for us at vcvw2 it's far from unusable.
kievbsm Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) Flying offline... In the "Bankler's Case 1... " mission catapults work fine. Then started another mission on the PG map... not one catapult works... The picture looks like the same when Tomcat was just presented at the 1st time in OB. Edited March 23, 2020 by kievbsm
Spurts Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Just taxi to the back of the ship and take off. I've done it at 107% Max Gross with the Carrier doing 29kts.
Blinde Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Taking off from cats 1&2 with 90-95% thrust works most of the time. cats 3&4 work sometimes also.
sLYFa Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 its really not that big of an issue. Just hold the kneel button for a few seconds longer after the aircraft has fully kneeled. If it still doesnt launch, hold down the kneel button again until the cat goes off. Works 100% of the time for me on the GAW server. i5-8600k @4.9Ghz, 2080ti , 32GB@2666Mhz, 512GB SSD
