Wingman taking off before player

[Shotgun 27 5]

Hey folks,

 

I've added the LHA-1 as a carrier to the SF:G campaign and stationed an AV8B squadron on it. I'm using Kesselbrut's USS Tarawa model and bobrock's AV8-B Harrier II plus model.

 

The issue I'm having is that when I begin a mission (say, a 2-ship CAS mission) using the Harriers and departing from the Tarawa, my wingman always takes off before me. Does anyone have an idea as to why this could be happening?

 

I'm including my carrier and squadron settings in this post.

Is your wingman starting in front of you or behind?

 

The only time I've had my wingmen take off before me was when I took too long on the cat and they will launch first.

As far as I know, the LHA-1 doesn't have a catapult, since it launches Harriers and helicopters. I start in the front, and my wingmen are lined up directly behind me.

 

The issue is that as soon as the mission starts, my wingman launches - there's essentially no delay.

Yea, I knew the LHAs didnt have catapults. I was just using that as my example.

 

I've never had that happen when taking off from the LHAs though. They only starting moving after you've gone so far down the deck or runway.

 

I didn't see anything screwy with your settings either.

Oh well, I'm not real worried about it. Everything else works perfectly. Thanks for your input!
