Carrier Ops . Shift I to set blast shield not working in P3D

Featured Replies

For some time now I have had a problem that the Shift I command to raise blast shield and set the aircraft for launch does not work.

SWS carriers Shift I works fine but the AI Carriers do not .

Any thoughts .

SHIFT+I will only trigger if your catapult attach point is close enough from the correct position. On some carriers it was a bit more forward than what you could expect, so you had to bring your plane a bit more forward so that it could finally get attached to the catapult.

Or do you mean that you plane does indeed get attached to the catapult, but still the jet blast door don't deploy ?

Thanks for the reply Daube, The aircraft does not attach to the catapult and the Blast shield does not deploy.

I Shall Try your suggestion re moving further forward and see how that goes .

Is the command shft-I assigned to "Takeoff assist (arm/disarm)"?

Well who would have thunk it . I have spent at least 5years if not more winging about shift I not working and low and behold it wasnt assigned in my controls.

Mr Blaunarwal,  you have become my most favoured person. 

Many Thanks,👍😁

You're welcome. Sometimes it is the most obvious thing we don't see.
