WIP Toolbar which is planned to be common across our current and future addons.
Arrestors (Works with any plane with a tailhook whilst on any runway)
The arrestor slows you down to zero if you are on any runway above 30knots with the tailhook down until you release the tailhook.. The base asobo arrestors are now included on our carrier but not all tailhook aircraft fully support them. Any future ANSMedia projects will. It is recommended you always use our arrestor button anyway as it will always slow you down if you are on the runway and with the tailhook deployed (it will release if you bounce or go off the end). Holds aircraft in position until you retract the tailhook.
Asobo arrestor wires can also be a bit buggy when trying to release so if you have any issues just try backing up or moving to the left or right and cycling the tailhook. Any issues due to not releasing on carriers with Asobo arrestors are likely due to that and not our toolbar. The reset button on our toolbar kills and resets all scripts.
Catapult (Works with any plane when on ground below 30knots)
There are 2 catapult buttons which accelerate you at different speeds. The Aft catapult is for a standard catapult length (90m). The front catapult on the QE arkroyal proposal is a shorter one (55m) for drones and fighters only and accelerates quicker. Each catapult accelerates you up to 155knots if you are on the ground and if your speed is below 30knots. It will Initially stop you until your throttle is above 80% which engages the launch mechanism.
Pushback (Works with any plane when on ground with idle Throttle)
Pushback of max 10knots - where velocity and turning rate are directly proportional to joystick position not just on-off speed and pointing change. It checks whether your throttle is below 10% and whether you are on the ground to make sure it doesn't trigger in the air and stops the script if you say fall off a carrier or increase your throttle. If you manually press stop pushback it will engage parking brake. If it stops the pushback script due to being off the ground, throttle position or reset being pressed it will not engage the parking brake.
The toolbar is planned to remain free.
We will not however allow forks or publishing altered version of our toolbar without express permission from us.
Yes one of the images above is a teaser of our E2D aswell
More features are planned and this is a dependency of our carrier Project
