[REPORTED] Jet Blast Deflector rises without aicraft on catapult

Ok, but it is very long as after I first land, I do some experimenting with Kneeboard pages and control buttons but eventually, I ask for permission to launch and you can actually see the deflector rising before I even get to the cat...then I fly to Khasab and finally fly back to the Stennis where I nearly collide with another blast wall as I'm landing...I submitted the video because I find that the in-game track files are unreliable...they actually change what happened...you could be landing and the recorded track will show you flying off the runway...it's as if the track gives you control and you eventually hit something...this is especially noticeable while you fast forward...but it's your dime....

[REPORTED] Jet Blast Deflector rises without aicraft on catapult

 

Mission: Case 1 landing

Goal: testing radio's just mapped to HOTAS

 

- Setup radio

- Contacted Stennis

- Landed...:joystick:

- Hook up

- Selected radio again: asked for take-off

- Stennis confirmed take-off

- Stennis raised jet blast deflector on nearest catapult.

Personal Wish List: A6 Intruder, Vietnam theater, decent ATC module, better VR performance!

Rising oof the jet blast deflectors is coupled to the radio command reqeusting launch. First attach to catapult then radio.

 

 

If you radio for take-off without being on that catapult it's raised for phantom aircraft: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=217954

Not that its an excuse (I dont think they should go up without someone attached) but you’re not hooked up to anything in that pic. If you were then I assume yours would have raised. You look like trapped then called for launch. Way too far right and forward to be on cat 3.

I was indeed not hooked up to anything and just after i trapped. I just asked for take-off without being hooked up on a catapult and then the Stennis crew raised the JBD as seen in the screenshot. Maybe done for JBD maintenance, who knows?

What about the landing then? Why are they up when I was landing? And asking for launch permission has never raised the deflectors before even when I was in parked area....maybe I'm thinking of Engine startup, but the landing is still curious

It should be the other way around...the flight deck should not respond to Request for Takeoff, unless you're attached to the cat..IRL, they wouldn't raise the deflector if there was nothing to launch...now if the phantom jet has already been listed as a bug, then fine....otherwise, it is one

Have you tried the Abort Takeoff command? The deflector lowered once I called for an abort takeoff.

Yes, I have tried that and it lowers the JBD...but that doesn't answer the question of what was the JBD doing up when I came in for a landing? Forget the raising of JBD when asking for permission to take off, for just a moment and focus on why in the hell was a deflector UP when I was landing??? TWICE ... just watch the videos

Yeah, twice, didn't work. No deck crew in sight either to lower it. Maybe on strike?

I’ve never seen one up when I landed but if your on a server it may be caused by someone making it happen and not being respectful enough to others to put it back down. In my experience, you can issue the “abort takeoff” call and it will go back down. That or very carefully position yourself in front of it and launch. It’ll go down after launch.

You can't issue "abort anything" when you're gliding in on the deck and you see a JBD up on the wires...watch the YT videos on this thread, especially the second one https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=217942
