markturner1960 Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 Hi, sometime in the last week, I noticed that the salute command does not work anymore ( FA18) I have checked the key binding ( correct), checked the functionality of the MFD button I have it bound to ( correct). If I manually use the key press allocated ( left shift, ctrl, S) nothing happens either, just the shooter carries on waving his hands over his head even though I am sitting there at Mil ( same happens using AB as well..) Are there any parameters that need to be met before the salute command is acted on? Only thing I did was change the keyboard profile to use baileys VA profile as I tried that out...thought it was the problem, but that does not change the key bind and at any rate, I changed the profile back. To be sure, where is the standard keyboard.lua file to be found? Thanks..

Doum76 Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 Last time i tried this week-end with the Hornet on Open Beta, i had no issues to launch.
DeathAngel1 Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 If you mean pilot salute animation, its not implemented yet. ..:NAVY PILOTS ARE THE THE BEST PILOTS:..
markturner1960 Posted September 22, 2020 Author Posted September 22, 2020 No, not the animation....... I press salute to launch and nothing happens I am stuck at the stage in the animation process where he hands off to the shooter and my plane launches.....I can’t launch off the cat. I have done a DCS repair, same issue still..... System specs: PC1 :Scan 3XS Ryzen 5900X, 64GB Corsair veng DDR4 3600, EVGA GTX 3090 Win 10, Quest Pro, Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo monitor.
DeathAngel1 Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 I just made some carrier launches, it works fine for me. Dont know what may be your problem...maybe some mods? ..:NAVY PILOTS ARE THE THE BEST PILOTS:..
Raisuli Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 Also successfully getting off the cat once it's set up. Checked bindings? Manually used the KB command? Said nasty things about the shooter's dog?
Doum76 Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 At what stage animation is the shooter stucked at, arms up to go thrust up or kneeled down arm extented to shoot? Might sound stupid, though, are you sure is nothing wrong with the thorttle or something, that you get to at least mil power, if not enough thrust the jet won't simply launch and shooter stays in shooting position kneeled down....
markturner1960 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Posted September 23, 2020 Dont use mods, checked all bindings etc as noted in OP, throttle is fine, everything works fine right up to the point I press salute......

markturner1960 Posted September 24, 2020 Author Posted September 24, 2020 Are there any parameters that have to be met before the animation and shoot process kicks in? From past experience, I can be shot at variable throttle settings, in fact I dont usually go AB, so I dont think throttle settings matter that much.... The shooter does not kneel down, just stays there waving his hands....

Flamin_Squirrel Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 Waving hands? Check the outside view, is your launch bar definitely engaged with the shuttle? You might not be forward enough.
markturner1960 Posted September 24, 2020 Author Posted September 24, 2020 Yes, got past that stage....I might make a video to show what I mean System specs: PC1 :Scan 3XS Ryzen 5900X, 64GB Corsair veng DDR4 3600, EVGA GTX 3090 Win 10, Quest Pro, Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo monitor.
Spurts Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 Which plane? F/A-18 you have to do a comms menu salute, F-14 you have to LShift-U.
MegOhm_SD Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 Which plane? F/A-18 you have to do a comms menu salute, F-14 you have to LShift-U. Specifically, open Comms Menu, select crew, select Salute for F18...and hold on.

wilbur81 Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 If you mean pilot salute animation, its not implemented yet. Kind of... your AI wingmen in the Block 20 will salute with animation, but your own will not, which is a bit strange. i7 8700K @ Stock - Win10 64 - 32 RAM - RTX 3080 12gb OC - 55 inch 4k Display

Woody01 Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 I would say your chocks were in. Glad to see this bug sounds like it is resolved. When you spawned in on one of the cats your chocks were in and there was no way to remove them. So this could give you the impression that salute was broken as everything looked normal otherwise.

markturner1960 Posted September 25, 2020 Author Posted September 25, 2020 Sadly no, as I had taxied to the cat. AFAIK, the cat launch mission doEs not spawn you on the cat with chocks in place...... Will have to remain a mystery! Just glad it’s fixed System specs: PC1 :Scan 3XS Ryzen 5900X, 64GB Corsair veng DDR4 3600, EVGA GTX 3090 Win 10, Quest Pro, Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo monitor.
Oban Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 Experiencing the same glitch, landed the F14 on the Syria quick start case 1 recovery ( got me a 3 wire too after my bolter) and requested a launch, all the AI ran about to their respective positions Handler lined me up with the catapult, went through all the arm commands, after the power up signal, went to 80% power, hit the salute via the comms menu, they all dropped to their knees, and I remained on the Cat. Throttled down, went to full AB, hit the salute command again.. still nothing Sat there for 20 mins trying to launch, till I ran out of fuel.

TAW_Impalor Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) This happens to me recently in MP. Call 'Salute' to vaicom and use F menu 3-4 times before they finally start kneeling ( Edit: did some more tests with Supercarrier launch mission. Salute keybinding definitely has no effect. Menu F8-F6 and Vaicom work, but sometimes kneeling animation is delayed until the engines spool up (and sometimes they kneel at idle). On some occasions I had to spool up and then give salute... I think the devs need to investigate! Edited October 5, 2020 by impalor 12900KF@5.4, 32GB DDR4@4000cl14g1, 4090, M.2, W10 Pro, Warthog HOTAS, ButtKicker, Reverb G2/OpenXR

SparrowLT Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 Its still happening in the Tomcat and Hornet at random For example i have a mission in Marianas with the F-18, F-14 and SU-33 of coldstart , fly to carrier, trap a few times, go to air refuel and in the way back its night time, do night trap and fly back to andersen.. after doing 3 traps at day, meeting the tanker and refueling and then night landing in the carrier i request launch, move to the cat,they hook me up, kneel, all, they then signal the spool up.. i salute ..and nothing happens..im trapped forever with the guy doing the spool up signal , my pilot is correctly saluting but nothing else happens and since in hooked up to the shuttle i cant even move to another cat or try again
