investigating Cat launch excessive shake

[Nealius]

Crossposting from the Heatblur forums because this might be an SC issue rather than a Tomcat issue. Track file and video in linked thread. Basically, the player aircraft has a shaking glitch when shot off the cat, and the shaking continues even once off the deck and airborne for a couple of seconds. This does not occur with AI, and for some strange reason it does not occur on night launches either. 

Also in the attached track, you can see the holdback bar doesn't drop, the two white-shirts by the JBD are stuck in their crouched position, and the shooter is later seen stuck in the runup signal.

Still an issue. I thought it was gone before the Christmas update, but it either came back or never got fixed. Ignore the lack of pilot salute/shooter animation, that's probably from VIACOM pro input not being recorded by the replay track:

I can confirm some weird stuttery while taxiing and around the connection. The launch bar jitters during the aircraft movement and doesn't align perfectly to the shuttle. No problems with the deck crew or the holdback bar. Some unnatural shaking is there. @latest beta
