AIXtreme2K 1 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Lately I had the problem, that the catapult launches do not work well. I kneel the cat, activate via Shift-I the catapult, set full Flaps & Slats and fire up the throttles to its max. thust. I wait a few seconds until the afterburner is heated up and activate the catapult launch Shift+I. When I pass the edge of the carrier I pull the stick, but the F-14 nearly drops right from the edge into the water. I have the feeling, that the cat does not gain enough speed to climb or to maintain it's level not speaking about climbing. I am aware of the fact, that, the more the payload the more the bird descends a bit when launching but my Tomcat simply seems to be to slow even without rockets or extra tanks and 1/4 filled fuel tanks. I watched the promo video here: At. 0:52 you can watch a catapult launch. The F-14 is accelerating a lot more faster than my Tomcat does. Anyone got an idea what I can do to accelerate the catapult launch or what I probably have to do before launching in order to make the straying cat run?
