Essex front elevator "open" and will not close

[Hunterman008]

Greetings, 

 

I am not sure what caused the issue, but the forward most elevator came partially down and basically created a cavern into the carrier's interior. Obviously this causes serious issues with trying to take off. Has anyone else had this issue? I haven't been seen any posts about it anywhere else.

 

Thanks in advance

It's damaged, not really a bug.  With that said, I've already submitted a possible fix by increasing the area life from 50 to 150.

I don't know when it will be released in a patch yet.

I appreciate the response. Not sure how it got damaged, but either way, glad there is a fix coming! Appreciate everything you all have done.

I'm not sure if this is helpful or not, but I have noticed each time I've landed on the Essex the debrief for that flight had a line saying I hit the carrier with an F4U. Granted I'm new to this plane but I don't think my landings were quite *that* hard...

Also having the same issue from time to time.

The elevator mostly goes down during takeoff run when Im rolling over it.

In this case it causes a crash almost every time because the gear smashes into the front edge of the elevator-hole.

 

Also having a problem with catching the wire on the deck.

2 days ago it worked perfectly fine with around 5-10 landings in a row. Played 2-3 hrs today with not one single wire catched.

if you're not able to trap- it might be due to the carriers heading! XD wish i was making it up

So far setting the carrier to invincible has alleviated this problem. Hopefully the fix they submitted will remove the need to do this.
