srce 0 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I'm trying to do a cat launch of the F-14 in Prepar3d. I line up and press water rudder and the aircraft crouches down. 95% of the time, when I then press shift-I for take-off assist, the aircraft pitches up to the sky and crashes. Any idea what might be wrong? I've got wings forward and flaps down. There don't seem to be any other steps in the documentation. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srce 0 Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 That doesn't sound like the same issue. It's not a case of launching too slowly. As soon as I press shift-I, the plane starts pointing up to the sky and then P3D thinks it has crashed. This is before pressing shift-space to launch the cat. This is using any of the saved flights from the Kitty Hawk. More like a shuttle launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcagle 180 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Okay, been working on patch items the last few days, I will focus on this tomorrow and see if I can recreate and solve. Best, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcagle 180 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I'm really sorry gents, but I was not able to reproduce the problem. I tried three different airframe, multiple catapults, and adjusted the P3D settings from normal (~40 FPS) to slide show (10-15 FPS). In all those conditions, the hold back bar latched and the F-14 launched as expected. The other things that's really worrysome about this, is that the C++/SimConnect cat launch sequence doesn't start until you've pressed Shift-Space, the hold-back bar makes use of standard assignments. So I'm really scratching my head. Given that bit of ambiguity, I would say that step one is to completely uninstall the F-14 (run uninstaller, then manually delete any remaining "Aerofsoft F-14...." directories in SimObjects, and then make sure that when you reinstall you use the full v1.1 installer (not v1.0 + patch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
