Hello,

"JATO", or Jet Assisted Take-Off is used on Fat Albert Airlines of the Blue Angels flight demonstration team. They only serve as an effect in the CS C-130T and produce no added thrust. I personally think they could use a little more work but it was a good idea. It works by flipping the covered switch to the right of the throttle quadrant to arm it. Then you press the black button next to it to fire the rockets. This is all done in the virtual cockpit as you cannot view the JATO section from the 2D panel.

Best of luck,
-Josho18

Only in the T? I tried to make it work in the CL-130 which also has JATO but could not get them fired. Is the JATO limited to the T despite beeing modeled on other versions like the CL-130 or the LC-130 too???

You are correct. The JATO also works on those models or at least they are supposed to work.

I'll test the T tomorrow. I was unable to fire the JATO on the CL-130 though. Is there anything to do besides arming the JATO and then fireing it?
