SonofEil Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 If I start on the catapult or hot start the mission I can get launched once. After the trap I taxi back to the catapult, kneel and hook to shuttle, wings and flaps, power up, wipe, salute...nothing. I haven’t been able to do a second cat shot at all the last couple days. Is there something I’m missing? Known bug? i7 7700K @5.0, 1080Ti, 32GB DDR4, HMD Odyssey, TM WH, Crosswind Rudder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant_Hamlet Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Is the launch bar light illuminated on the left windshield advisory panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlikwin Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Ive encountered this too starting a mission. The advice was to power off/down. And hit U to reconnect. I havent had a chance to try it.

104th_Maverick Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Also, make sure you are pressing Lshift + U ... on my system Rshift + U doesn't work and I think some users are getting confused.

SonofEil Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Is the launch bar light illuminated on the left windshield advisory panel? Just checked and no, I'm not getting the light at all. I do get a green "Launch Bar" light in the right knee caution panel, but that light actually extinguishes as I run up throttles, illuminates again when they're at idle. Ive encountered this too starting a mission. The advice was to power off/down. And hit U to reconnect. I havent had a chance to try it. I disconnected/reconnected to the shuttle probably 10+ times and was never able to launch. I don't know what you mean by 'power off/down'. Shut down and restart the entire jet while on the cat? Im having issues today with no pitch input recognized by f14... Cool. Sounds like a completely unrelated problem to the thread you're posting in. ;3840862']Also' date=' make sure you are pressing [b']Lshift + U[/b] ... on my system Rshift + U doesn't work and I think some users are getting confused. (for anyone not seeing the salute) I'm seeing the salute, just never getting launched. I mapped salute to the up arrow key anyway. (Wasn't working before I remapped it, btw, so that's not the problem.) Edited March 15, 2019 by SonofEil i7 7700K @5.0, 1080Ti, 32GB DDR4, HMD Odyssey, TM WH, Crosswind Rudder...

Harlikwin Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Check your airbrake. That prevents it too. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

SonofEil Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Check your airbrake. That prevents it too. Checked. Not the issue. The only time I can consistently get launched is at the beginning of the Carrier Takeoff tutorial. If I trap and attempt to launch again during the tutorial, no dice. If I create my own carrier mission, no launchy. Is it fair to say this is a bug yet? i7 7700K @5.0, 1080Ti, 32GB DDR4, HMD Odyssey, TM WH, Crosswind Rudder...

Bizarro Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Try making a new mission. I had this problem, made new mission now no problem. Same. I actually had that problem in a mission I did last week for carrier training with the Hornet and it didn't launch, only in that mission. I recycled that mission to try the Tomcat the day it was released and had the same problem, then I remembered the Hornet acted like that too. Deleted the mission and did it again from start and problem gone. Seems more like a DCS/Stennis bug than Tomcat's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitthead Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I'm having the same issue. I built a carrier trap mission in the Persian Gulf. After I land, I notice that the F-14 is sliding slightly on the carrier deck. When I attach to the catapult there is a lot of shaking back and forth in the cockpit, like the plane is unstable on the deck, the shaking is not noticeable in external view. I've got a feeling this may be related to why the cat won't shoot. I can see my pilot salute from external view and I've checked the speed brake. I have not tried to shut down and restart the plane though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorseal Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 same here. I landed on the deck, and tried to take off again. full mil,salute (saw the salute) and no response from plane.

Blinde Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I noticed that trim also has something to do with it. If I have problems with salute, trimming down and launching with idle power works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kievbsm Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 ... and founded solution: Not exactly... :( My problem repeated yesterday again.:cry: The same - couldn't start with catapult's help in MP mission. In SP missions everything works fine. :( Have no idea what I have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxmike Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Same problem. New mission Stennis in the Gulf with ME and the cat won´t launch and nothing helps. Creating this mission a second time it now works. Must be a bug in ME, If I compare the missions I have no idea, what could cause that bug! I can restart and restart......the bugged mission will never let the cat fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunf Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I had this problem in missions created earlier, for Hornet, and in which I replaced Hornet with Tomcat. It wouldn't launch. (A revenge maybe? :D) So far I had no problem in missions created from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
