Launch & Recovery concurrently????

[AvgWhiteGuy]

Can you start a mission with YOURSELF (Player-Client) in an F/A-18 cold on the deck of a SuperCarrier while multiple AI aircraft (2) are in approach/landing. Then, after the AI are recovered/parked, you startup, taxi & launch from either waist or bow cats?
I can set up the AIs and they do their thing, but as soon as I add a Client (myself) the deck is set to Launch exclusively (deck crew manning all cats), and the AIs just keep circling at 3,000ft. This all seems to occur automatically WITHOUT me initiating startup.
Would it not be logical to have Recovery and Bow Cat(s) Launching at the same time? 

Is this a trigger thing possible in ME?

Hi, yes you can get this by delaying your flight by 1 second (as player flight). This way, if AI hornets next wpt at start is RTB on the carrier, this will be active priority task "in the queue" (before your presence on the deck will "reserve" the 4 cats).

Example attached. It is also possible to set you as "client" and start as spectator, and select client slot after 1 second, but I think 1st method is prefered.

@toutenglisse...sorry for long delay...Shanghai lockdowns are ridiculous. I'll try this out tonight or tomorrow. Really appreciate your help on this.
