MuF Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Pressing U at the catapult sets you up for the launch even if your Launchbar is in the UP position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted June 5, 2018 ED Team Share Posted June 5, 2018 This is intended. To be able to hook up you need the launch bar, if not present it will put it in the correct position when pressing U Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

=4c=Nikola Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 The problem is that bar switch stays in up position. If you command the bar down with U, then command bar switch down as well. Do not expect fairness. The times of chivalry and fair competition are long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuF Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Thanks for the answer, didnt know this is intended. It feels like there is no point in using the switch apart from doing it for realism then. @=4c=Nikola well, you're supposed to flip the launchbar switch back up again once engaged with the cat.

QuiGon Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Thanks for the answer, didnt know this is intended. It feels like there is no point in using the switch apart from doing it for realism then. This! I really dislike the way it is implemented as it magically does things that the pilot is supposed to do (flipping the switch). Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

NeilWillis Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 It could do with being a manual input from the pilot, or at least the switch ought to be moved into the down position as the bar lowers automatically. I hope this will be looked at again when the hi fidelity carrier ops is rolled out, as the depth of modelling is everything to a lot of us, and it definitely ought to be a "thing". For now, at least we can always get hooked onto the shuttle and launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmedges Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 One question. Pilot protocol is to lower the launch bar and once it’s in the shuttle set the switch to up so they don’t have to do it after the cat shot before they raise the gear. If we press u and raise the launch bar switch once the bar is “in the shuttle”, does the launch bar stay down?
