About half the time when doing cat launches everything goes as expected. The other half of the time the cat doesn't actually fire and my Hornet remains stationary with the ABs roaring away.
Up to the point the AB's ignite everything appears to be the same (although I must be missing something):
I line up to the cat
drop the launch bar
press U to connect to the cat
Hornet moves a little as the connection is made
get the all clear from the Tower
put the Throttles to max
wait for the ABs to light off
and then...either I launch or am stationary with ABs on
Is there a knack to lining up on the cat? because that's the only spot in the process I can think of that there could be some variance
Any help would be much appreciated.
