Has anyone here encountered this problem? Great aircraft, but it should take off flawlessly?

Special Server Maintenance
Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

Has it got the 'launch/catapult' details correct in the aircraft.cfg file?
Yes, I checked that before I posted the thread.

That was from a Google search about what is needed in the aircraft.cfg for catapult launches. I've personally never had Acceleration, so never launced
from a carrier.

I've got the Aerosoft F-14 in FSX and have had the same problem. I've never been able to find a functioning work around for the catapult issue. It's a long standing problem with many users but as far as I'm aware there has been no fix for it. I tried messing around with some of the gauges xml code with no success. I haven't used this aircraft for quite a while but from memory only thing that seemed to work was to use the arrestorcables program with this aircraft to get it to launch off a carrier.
