CV aircraft elevators
« on: January 24, 2013, 03:13:01 PM »
 :airplane: When in the hangar, selecting an aircraft, the "Port" side elevator is shown in "down" position. After selecting your aircraft and clicking on "H", you spawn out on the deck ready for take-off, but no elevator in the up position on the Port side. Shouldn't the elevator be in the up position for takeoffs, as it was on the real carriers? It would certainly stop some of the takeoff accidents that I see.
Blue Skies and wind at my back and wish that for all!!!

Shucks and here I thought you would ask for it to be lowered 2 feet farther when in port so we could drive jeeps into the hanger hold from the peir......

I like this... +1 ... with maybe an option to "Hangar Start" on the elevator to taxi onto the deck, or ready for takeoff position--- just like an airfield.
