Aircraft Carrier Launch

Postby Richy0Rich » Fri Jun 17, 2011 10:08 pm

When I do the mission on aircraft tutorial, When I go to link to the catapult, and everything is right, it doesn't hook on and I can't take off properly. Can anyone give me tips or pointers to fix this problem?

Use external view to get into correct position then Shift + U at same time, launch bar should lower, press shift + I at same time, if your close to where you should be, you will attach to the catapult, you most likely see your plane jump slightly, the exhaust blast barriers will raise behind you.

on Acceleration F18, use half flaps, increase throttle until afterburners come on, then reduce enough so they turn off.

Press Shift + spacebar at same time, this will launch you forward, once your clear of the carrier, climb away and immediatley raise your gear, if the gear won't raise, keep speed to around 200 knts for example, press shift + U again then try G for gear again. gear will not raise with launch bar down, don't forget to raise flaps or you may get flaps failure.

On the carrier deck you cannot steer with launch bar down.

If you have FXS gold installed, look at the mission where you have to do a protection of NASA'a cape area, you'll see you have

May the Mynd be with you.
So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs.
