Cytarabine Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Have you retracted the launch bar? It is part of the procedure, no idea whether not doing so would stop you from launching at all. Is it only if you start from a cold start or away from the cat, or if you got start on the cat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gierasimov Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I did a cold start on the deck and I was not able to reproduce this. One thing I did differently was that in my ME, Stennis is sailing at 25kts and not default 11kts like yours. I am not sure if that would make the difference though... will try to check next time ...

danny875 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I’m sure that I’ve had this once with the F14, she would not launch from cat 2. I decoupled, turned around and used cat 3 I think, strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarbas Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Sometimes it happens when you're not correctly aligned with the cat (in some missions you're forced to turn right for cat 1 without having the right space to align properly). If you can't take off after 3-4 seconds with throttle at MIL just got back to idle, disengage the lock pressing U and align again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonesvf103 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Sometimes I've noticed you have to raise the launch bar again so that it tensions on the shuttle. Then you can launch. v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.

Banman Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Proper procedure is to set the launch bar switch to retract once connected to the shuttle. Obviously the bar will not physically retract once connected. i7-8700K (6 Core, 12MB Cache, 4.6GHz) 32 GB DDR4 XMP @ 2933MHz, GTX 1080Ti w/ 11GB GDDR5X, Windows 10 Pro, 256GB SSD, TM Warthog Stick & Throttle, TM TPR Pedals, TrackIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madbrood Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 That might be proper procedure, but it doesn't inhibit launch - I do it all the time. i7-4770k | EVGA GTX 980 SC | 16GB DDR3 | TrackIR 5, TM Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals DCS: F-16C, F/A-18C, F-14A/B, AV-8B, FC3, A-10C, Black Shark II, UH-1H, F-86F, MiG-21bis, Mirage 2000C, AJS-37, F-5E :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaMike Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Maybe I missed it but I didn't see you set your takeoff trim. Wonder if that's not the problem.

Sparky1b09 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I once forgot to put my second engine in idle and it would power up but not launch. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
