need track replay No way to launch after landing and shutting down.

After landing and parking with directors, I shut down, started up and tried to get a relaunch. Chocks cannot be released and cannot taxi.

I tried 'salute'; 'request launch'; ' remove wheel chocks'. Nothing works.

Was this on SP or MP? Did you have any other AI aircraft that are in the sky at the time?

[Clifton19]

No. Just single player and my aircraft.

I’ve run into this too. Landed F18 on the ship, directed to parking spot, flipped around, hot refuelled for another couple of traps, then could not taxi out. Stuck. The workaround seems to be to cycle the parking brake and pump the brakes a few times beforehand. I do that now and the plane can taxi out again.

Oooh - this is very interesting! Thanks heaps for sharing if this workaround works. 

Did cycling the parking brake and puping the breaks cause the directors to 'wake up' for you?

I haven’t had any problems with the directors not working. I have a key binded to both the salute and call ball radio calls and have just been using that keystroke this whole time.But this is definitely a bug and you should attach a track for them.

Oh - so to confirm - your problem was with just the plane moving, as opposed to the directors then when it came to not being able to taxi out?

[KevinAu]

Yes, only with getting the aircraft moving. The new automatic chocking feature when you park seems to get something out of phase with the brakes.

Figured out how to get Launched Again. To Open the menu that has the Launch/Cancel/Rearm Press Lalt-Lshift-Lcrtl-P. Lets You Launch!
