Try without cockpit open as that causes drag.

Alright. I managed to get her up, skimming the watersurface. But are you not supposed to be able to launch with Fuel 100% and (some) bombs at least? It feels REALLY heavy.
In the Training they got it up to around 150km/h before reaching the threshold. I´m at 110km/h. EDIT: This problem is ofcourse only present on the really small carriers. Last edited by capt. windh; 05-08-2010 at 12:25 PM. |

Use the catapult

The catapult only works with mods zaelu. (and before you ask, we can't tell you anything about mods on this forum).
This is a recurring question, and it seems the F4U is marginal on takeoff. There was a recent thread on the Mission4Today site about this, which may help:http://mission4today.com/index.php?n...ish=15&start=0 |

I think corsair was never ment to fly from escort carriers.

is the carrier you are taking off from moving ? the speed of the carrier into the wind (or static air) was in real life important to add lift and works in il2 as well
for about half the carrier missions you dont need full fuel tank AND max bomb load either (eg carrier defensive shield aircraft didnt carry bomb loads etc..) , so play with the ratio's as well depending on the missions to in il2 iirc with carriers in il2 you should be able to launch with 500 kg bomb load and full fuel, but then you need to do everything right on launch (and be on a moving carrier obviously). once you get to the end of the deck you will dip down and just skim the water (so make sure your gear goes up immediately once you leave the deck). this might be a bit more severe then in RL, but its doable in il2 when PF initially came out the problem was much worse (some aircraft unable to launch with even minimal loads iirc), then following feedback some changes were made by oleg to bring carrier takeoffs closer to historical loads and speeds. but it still isnt perfectly matched iirc. for most missions you can now takeoff with most aircraft using required fuel and weapons loadouts. |

is the carrier pointed into the wind, and moving? carriers gotta be moving pretty quick to get a heavy sair up...

heavy sair up...on pancakes....don't forget the butter if you are not familiar with the mission builder - get familiar - because then you can set the carriers speed and direction (into the wind) for easy takeoffs... to set players plane to takeoff from a carrier - you first place the carrier...give it speed and direction - then place your aircraft near it on the map - then select 'target' and click on the carrier - that sets your plane on the carrier for take off
