known issue Can’t launch F18 off Super Carrier

[Gasman3874]

Since the 2.9 upgrade, the shooter is not responding to my salute or launch requests.  I have rebound the command several times but it has not fixed this.  Is anyone else having this issue?

After 2.9, you now have to be in burner to launch.

I have a warthog Hotass and always have usher it to full throttle for takeoff.  Is there something else you have to do in 2.9 to get into burner in the catapult?

Make sure you pass the AB detent. Depending on what you set in the special setting, you may have to press a button or not.

In the option menu at the sim start up under -controls-special- is a point for after burner detent. four option to choose . Try one of them.

sorry for bad english.

Hi @Gasman3874

This is a known issue, like it was suggested by others, you'll need to go full afterburner currently for the Shooter to send you off.

This will corrected in a future update.

Hi. From the changelog ---

DCS 2.9.1.48111 Open Beta
DCS: Supercarrier by Eagle Dynamics

• Fixed: The salute command doesn't work when using option Afterburner detent.

The problem of "F/A-18C can't launch w/o AB" looks solved in my testing.
