Cat crew standing past the foul lines

The Catapult crew for cats 1,2 and 4 are standing past the foul lines for those respective catapults.

Here are the bow cats, you can clearly see how the respective crews are standing one line too close to the cats.

From this video we can see the bow cat crews standing properly behind the foul lines.

Now compare these two images, the left shows the position of the cat 4 crew in DCS, and the right shows them IRL. You can very clearly see how much closer the crew are to the aircraft in DCS, whereas IRL they are stood inline with cat 3's track.

 

 

Of course, obeying these proper foul lines will rely on another problem being fixed that I shall create a separate post about.

Great post!  The guys on the Bow are fine IRT the Foul line. And the Shooter for the waist, when shooting CAT 3 should be in between 3 and 4 and not on the Starboard side of the pilot. The Director will be on the Starboard side while the Shooter and Topside are in between the CATS.

On YT film you attached in other topic you can clearly see, that Cat 2 foult line is correct

 

 

Ah yah good eye, It looks like when they are past the foul lines they all need to be crouched down. If you look to any other footage that isn't two very rapid launches like the video, then you will see what I mean.
