Issy Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Hi! Tonight is the first time I've flown since yesterday's patch and I was not able to launch the Tomcat from the Supercarrier. I lined up on both cat 1 and cat 2, hooked up just fine, spooled up, saluted for launch... and nothing happens. I had to spawn a new plane to try again, hence why I did not try cat 3 or 4. Also we tried to launch AI Tomcats from the carrier and only one of them was able to launch off of cat 1, the other got stuck on cat 3 for the rest of the night, keeping us from landing on the carrier. One of my Hornet pilot friends also had trouble at one point getting cat 1 to launch him, but all the rest went just fine. Has anyone else encountered this issue?
Issy Posted July 23, 2021 Author Posted July 23, 2021 Ok so my problem may have been that it was night and I forgot that you have to flip the lights to launch now. We don't fly night missions all that often, so I had forgotten, but still not sure why the AI wouldn't launch.
Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 I seem to remember there is now a Special Option to automatically turn on the external lights upon salute. That nullifies the problem you had Spoiler Ryzen 7 9800X3D | 96GB G.Skill Ripjaws M5 Neo DDR5-6000 | Asus ProArt RTX 4080 Super | ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E GAMING | Samsung 990Pro 2TB + 990Pro 4TB NMVe | VR: Varjo Aero VPC MT-50CM2 grip on VPForce Rhino with Z-curve extension | VPC CM3 throttle | VPC CP2 + 3 | FSSB R3L | VPC Rotor TCS Plus base with SharKa-50 grip | Everything mounted on Monstertech MFC-1 | VPC R1-Falcon pedals with damper | Pro Flight Trainer Puma OpenXR | PD 1.0 | 100% render resolution | DCS graphics settings Win11 Pro 24H2 - VBS/HAGS/Game Mode ON
