Not able to Rearm F-18 at Super carrier after latest patch

[Mojeaux]

Has anyone else had issues with the ability to rearm the F-18C at the catapult since the patch today, 12/4/2024?

I believe you have to park first, as per instructions in the video by Wags.

Errr.. When you're on the catapult!  There is NO option for unhooking and parking so as to "Re Arm!!" Therefore you be screwed and have to take ONLY the load out that the mission maker pre set!  This is killing missions and mission options!

Aah - so you're talking single player specific missions where you are hot started on the catapult? 

IDK, but if you turn off plane directors, does that revert to the old way, or have DCS changed this for all scenarios?

Alternatively, does Left Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T hot-take you back to a parking bay so you're able to rearm from there as a workaround?

Problem solved!  I discovered that the good ole reliable mission that I normally benchmarked DCS flight operations, I had to go into the mission editor for the said, mission and make a very important change at the Aircraft carrier  F-18C properties! Since the addition of the flight "deck crew aircraft directors", IF YOU HAD SET YOUR AIRCRAFT TO SPAWN AT THE CATIPULT, you needed to simply change that F18C to take off from "PARKING".  Then you just needed to follow all the new rules.  ***Note*** Before you do any saluting or anything that is the ONLY opportunity to perform a new load out!  I need to mention I am talking about single-player mode not multiplayer!  I'm not sure how rearming will work in a multiplayer situation!

GOOD TIMES!
