EDIT: For those that don't see it; our man is rocketing down the catapult with the MASTER CAUTION illuminated, very very likely because of the CHECK TRIM message that is informing him he has an incorrect stab trim for the cat shot. That comes on as soon as you turn up the power.

EDIT2: I certainly hope this isn't taken in the wrong context. I don't believe the trailer should at all be "fixed." This is a nice little easter egg that experienced users may (or may not) recognize, and new users will certainly not catch. In fact this may be a selling point for more detail oriented customers, as they can see an abnormal configuration, and the simulation responding appropriately to it. There was a very early Hornet stream with Wags, where he set the HUD source as STBY, and forgot to uncage the Standby AI. He identified the problem upon rotation as his HUD remained frozen in place. This was obviously removed from the subsequent video.. but it showed a very nice feature of the simulation, in that the HUD actually uses data from different sources accurately.

Carrier Looks absolutely stunning guys!:pilotfly:

I'm more interested if they have improved deck physics (sticky behaviour, sliding if the ship is turning, wires not detaching from the hook etc.).

Naaa... Could also be an unarmed ejection seat.

I know it... :music_whistling: Trust me :D

It does say "CHECK TRIM" in the warning on the left mfd :D

...and the FCS pages shows what looks to be STAB 13, when it should be at least 16 for a cat shot.

Well the image certainly shows CHECK TRIM on the left DDI. Many do forget to arm the seat, which isn’t much better.. Stabs should be 14-16 on cat launch, depending on load out.

Ahh.. ok... :D

That screenie looked - besides that small detail -too common for for me, so I chimed in with a wrong assumtion :music_whistling:

Stabs should be 14-16 on cat launch, depending on load out.

16° - 19° ;)

16° - 19° ;)

Again, load out dependent. In DCS’ game, 14 will get you off the deck without a trim warning ;)

True, but he's mainly just making a reference to the NATOPS manual, where 16° is the minimum required elevator trim for a catapult shot, regardless of weight.

:thumbup: Always try to follow NATOPS information, but sometimes it is not possible or doesn't result in the correct outcome with DCS. But still worth doing for sure. Practice good habits, produce good habits. Ya know.
