F18 controlls stuck after carrier take off

[krabben_paule]

Hi, after landing on a carrier to rearm and refuel i can controll the plane. but after take off the pilot stuck and i cannot controll the jet after start. i tried to salute and everything but nothing helps.

Salute after takeoff ? Why ?
Can you explain your steps and where your controls stop moving ?

[krabben_paule]

so after i finished rearming and refueling, i go to the catapult, drop the launch bar. the jbd rises and i go full throttle. but after i leave the carrier i cant steer the plane. the piloit still holding the handle in the upper right corner of the cockpit. so i thought i can break the grip by saluting...

Sounds more like double bonding issue

[krabben_paule]

dont think so.
i dont change any controllinputs and it worked fine in the past.

It just works fine after spawning

Would be great if you had a replay track to send through the official forums.

this happense to me all the time since I got back into F18, seems like a bug with the normal carriers and no one seems to care to fix it because people chill on the pay to land carriers

Even after the rather massive update last nigh over steam (2024/05/22) the problem persists. It seems like a known issue when you look on the ED forums and apparently they are working on it but they seem unable to resolve this. Update after update, does not seem to address this. If anyone has access to the ED Developers to bring this to their attention, it would be much appreciated; as this bug, which remains unresolved, is slowly but surely turning DCS and the F-18, which is mainly a carrier based aircraft, into a deal-breaker.
