blokovchan Posted Sunday at 09:26 AM Share Posted Sunday at 09:26 AM (edited) When F14, fully loaded is launched from dcs supercarrier I experince second or two blackout. I found about two years old topic in F18 section about this problem.. Is it still a DCS bug or something else...? Edited Sunday at 09:27 AM by blokovchan Link to post Share on other sites
wadman Posted Sunday at 04:07 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:07 PM If the F14B, it's probably because you are launching in afterburner - which was prohibited in real-life, anyhow. That's the only time I've seen a blackout on cat launches. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

blokovchan Posted Sunday at 04:53 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 04:53 PM Yes indeed, it was that. Thank you. Well I didn't launch with full afteburner - with about 100% rpm.... Admin, please move from bugs section... @TOViper It seems, that we had to much trust even with not full afterburner, mil power is about 90% rpm, or you can check it on thorttle, there is a mark when it is at mil power... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Sandman1330 Posted Monday at 02:35 AM Share Posted Monday at 02:35 AM I get the same thing when taking off at mil power as well - it’s been around for awhile now. Not a deal breaker but it’s there.

blokovchan Posted Monday at 08:52 AM Author Share Posted Monday at 08:52 AM Well, anyway: yesterday I tried to launch with almost fully loaded (about 95% max takeof weight), with throttle at 90% rpm and there was no blackout. Carrier had speed 25kt and wind speed was 10 kt - upwind. Perhaps here is the catch: if indicated air speed of cairrer is to low, catapult has to give you to large acceleration...

captain_dalan Posted Monday at 11:34 AM Share Posted Monday at 11:34 AM It happens at times, but not always, so not sure why. I fly the A BTW, and generally similar loads, 2x3x2+2 or 4x2x2+2. Sometimes there is a short blackout sometimes there isn't. I wonder if it may be related to head position during launch? Oh yeah, my burner is generally in zone 3.

Kondor77 Posted Monday at 03:06 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:06 PM It absolutely has to do with head position at launch, which is a really cool touch. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TOViper Posted Monday at 03:15 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:15 PM (edited) I had mine forward looking at the horizon ... but blokovhan's idea seems reasonable, but as Sandman says, ... not a deal breaker but it's there Edited Monday at 03:15 PM by TOViper my channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_Yx920L1ezoWQkYKCGYB9w my PC: CSL | i7 6700 @ 4.4 GHz | Asus STRIX GTX 1070 8GB | 32GB 2800 MHz DDR4 | 256 GB SDD SYS + 500 GB SSD DCS + 1 TB HDD | Win10 Pro my controls: A-10 Warthog Stick + Throttle | Rift CV1 | ViaComPro my mods: FC3 | AJS-37 | F-14 | F/A-18 | F-16C | F-5E-3 | L-39 | (HAWK) | UH-1 | MiG-21 | Combined Arms | Nevada | Syria | Persian Gulf Link to post Share on other sites
