Chock blocks still not being removed on the carriers

Recommended Posts

Dear ED, 

When respawning on any of the American carriers ( don't know about the others ), you A/C spawns on the catapult without the chock blocks being removed. When you give the command to remove them in the Ground Crew menu, it either states "unable to comply" or sometimes even states that "chock block are removed" but they are still present under the wheels and forces you into the ocean at take off. You need to either program the system to not have the chock blocks in place while respawning in the chute or fix it. currently the only way to not have this issue is to select a new role. This is not always possible when flying multi-player because each aircraft is already assigned. I also understand that this has been an ongoing issue for quite some time. version of DCS used is DCS open beta.

Maybe a help for the team. I never noticed it if the aircraft is set to the Catapult on the Mission edidtor. I only notice it when the aircraft gets false spawned. So even though you set the Group to cold start the aircraft gets spawned on the CAT. As soon as the Launch bar is down you can not remove the chocks. 

Also a small info, I mostly notice it if the Server is paused and people join in simultaneously. Unfortunatly I can not reproduce it.

Hello All.  

On a Multiplayer server with F18.  I respawn after first flight and it spawns me on a catapult.  Its a cold start up.  As soon as I spawn in the jet is already hooked up to the catapult.   I ask ground crew to remove chocks  "Unable to Comply"  I then arm plane.  I Put parking brake on and go through the startup procedures.   Jet is ready to launch.  Still chocks are there.   I try to retract the launch bar, and nothing happens.  The parking brakes are still on as well.    When I select my Plane and slot and spawn to a Parking spot I have no issues.  Just flights where I spawn onto a catapult.  I have tried googling everything I can for this.  Can anyone please help me?   (P.S I added pictures)

If your launch bar is down, ground crew will not remove the chocks. Make sure it's retracted before you ask them to remove the chocks. Your parking brake should also be on, but I am not 100% certain it's the operation blocker. Launch bar is.

I have tried everything I can to retract the launch bar.  If you look at the pictures I added from the cockpit it shows you the brake is set and the Launch bar is set to retract.   It just wont do it.  Is there an unhook command I am not aware of?

to make sure that you do not spawn on the cats, always go back to spectators and then select a slot.  this always get me to a correct spawn location 

 

thanks

Yes, this works, but shouldn't be necessary. And what's more, it happened on more than one occasion that I lost my slot in this way, when playing on a busy server.
