M14 - 306 & 309 Won't Start Up and Depart

[phtate0830]

After the latest DCS update, wingmen 3 & 4 won't start up and depart.

I head to WP1 and there's no crew member in 3 or 4 when using the F2 view. I tried 3 times with the same result.

I did a slow repair after the update before trying the mission.

Investigating. We’ve not had this issue before.

Thanks for reporting this. Had a similar report on Discord. For the update that just came out today, I see that I made a mistake in updating M14 in an attempt to delay start up, taxi and departure of 307 and 309 a bit.

Do this (just go with it): 

When you taxi out to the catapults and facing down the carrier deck (heading between 210 and 220, or so). Pull the hand brake, then release it again. 307 and 309 should now have pilots and be starting up.

Thanks for the quick reply and the workaround!
