reported F-14 Supercarrier compatibility

[Snappy]

Thread probably going to be locked if the complaints keep rolling in , like quite a few other inconvenient ones recently , with a final „we‘ll let you know when we have news to share..“

And there won't be because they don't care about this product anymore.

That's my basic impression too. It's not an ED product, so they can't be bothered too much about it.

Have you tried to PM the Devs? If not, I'd suggest trying that because coming here saying the same thing is insanity! I'm sure they will get to it amongst the laundry list of things that they have to implement and fix!

If you want to fix the launch bar up signal, go to: \CoreMods\tech\USS_Nimitz\scripts and open the GroundCrew.lua. There, in line 28, change "    ['F-14A']   = "  to

"    ['F-14A-135-GR']   = "

You can also edit line 30 to "        wing_unfold_condition = {arg = 404,     value = 0.1, condition = '<'},"  ,this should make the ground crew recognize your wing fold state properly

I just tried that and made a booboo. I accidentally deleted the original file, and with the changes DCS freezes on loading a mission with the Supercarrier module. Can you, or anyone else, please post the original, none-changed values so that I can change it back?

I suppose the "wing_unfold_condition" value before I changed it to 404 is the crux.

Update:

Got some great help in the customer support section. Got it fixed.

Here's both files, original and modded for F-14A

Thanks. I'll try with the mod later. And I have two copies of the original now, at a "safe house", just in case.  

In retrospect, I probably really just accidentally deleted the comma after the 7/404 value....the most common as well as most basic mistake when messing with any form of code.

Use repair process in such case.

I wanted to avoid that, and in the end it worked out great, thanks to the help of some great, helpful simmers. It was a single .lua value I had to change back. Took all but 30 seconds.

Is the meatball messed up in the non-supercarrier boats as well or do they work properly with the F-14? I might want to switch back to those or the Forrestal, but haven't used any of those since the SC came out.

Is there any ETA for fixes on this? I took a break from DCS for a while but these bugs are still present as of yesterday - namely the ball being weird and the slow calls

I am just now getting into the F-14. Is the ball correct on Forrestal, or do we need to fly it like in the Super Carrier?

Honestly I wouldn't expect this to be fixed anytime soon. If they can't even get around to fixing Hornet related issues and general bugs with the SC why would they care about a 3rd party Tomcat?

Sad, but par for the course I guess.

SC took a major backseat to the rest of other ED stuff. Frankly, if the long promised new SC features don't bring along with it a massive list of bug fixes, I'll just keep using the Forrestal instead. We might need to send the guys some Ritalin to help with the Early Access ADD 

[HeavyGun1450]

Absolutely amazing to me this still haven't been addressed years later. Like come on really...

We have issues reported to our team and Heatblur, thanks.
