I was playing "Reinforcing Northern Flank" using all 3 of the databases (just to see how they compare), and in the HUD3 version, you can't launch the Yak-38's from the Kiev. It spits out an error saying "Cannot launch from available runways".

Not that those Forger-B's are much use, but occasionally they get lucky and ambush an F-16 that I've suckered into chasing after one of my Bear-D's! Anyway. They can launch just fine using either the original or ANW 2.1 db's.

I guess maybe the Yak's aren't correctly flagged as STOL-capable in HUD3 maybe??

Forger cannot launch

Yak-38 Forger will show "UNABLE" under the ready status

1. Load [HUD] Forger cannot launch (3.9.4).scn in GE
2. Select Kiev group and hit Air Ops [F6]
3. Yak-38 Forger will show "UNABLE" under the ready status
4. Same scenario and database combination runs fine under 3.9.3

Yep, it's a DB or scenario problem because those Forgers work just fine on both the ANW and the Original databases. I'm running ANW2.1. Was 3.9.4 supposed to come with 2.2 maybe?

"the Froger had lift and flight engines unlike the Harrier's single RR Pegasus. Not certain on take - off, but landing was vertical and he believes automatic. Poor pilot sits there and crosses his fingers, toes and whatever else he thinks will help."

I believe that the Yak-141 was a victim of Russian budget cuts at the end of the Cold War.
