Hi all, I've been attempting to use the Super Hornets in the custom Operation Hydra (Cuba) campaign and for some reason my wingman and the rest of the flight, at launch, tilt nose down through the carrier deck, launch with the nose dragging through the deck, fall off the bow of the carrier and explode into the sea. Anyone happen to have an idea how I can fix this problem so I can fly the Super Hornets in the campaign? It doesn't seem to happen with the F-18C .... just the E & F.

View File VA-34 A-4B Skyhawk Bay of Pigs During the 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion VA-34 A-4B Skyhaks from the USS Essex flew a CAP/ escort mission with the intention of protecting the Rebal A-26 Invaders but due to a timing cock up were an hour late and missed engaging the Cuban T-33A fighters. They also flew multiple reconnaissance flights over the invasion beach throughout the incident. Due to President Kennedy insisting that there be no proof of US involvement the Skyhawks had their USN markings painted over. There are no photos of these aircraft and very few of VA-34 during that time period so I have based these skins off the only photo I can find specifically of VA-34 during the Bay of Pigs Invasion as well as one from later that year. These photos are of aircraft that did not have their markings painted over however. There is an alternative skin based on a drawing Statos posted which I think makes a way cooler looking Aircraft but is unlikely to be historically accurate. Credit goes to TW, Stratos and Nyghtfall. If you do create a Bay of Pigs USN A-4B v FAR T-33A remember the A-4B could not carry the AIM-9 at this point and Skyhawks operating over Cuba just had two wing drop tanks plus thier 20mm cannons. Change the Aircraft role from 'attack' to 'fighter' in the A-4B_data.ini file if you want better AI performance from your wingmen. Submitter dtmdragon Submitted 01/12/2019 Category A-4
