F/A-18C nose wheel steering

Well, I tried it now on the Stennis while practicing carrier starts and I can confirm that it does NOT work for me:

 

1) Cold and Dark startup as per procedure

2) Wings are folded

3) Chocks removed

4) Apply a little throttle with "Num +"

5) Press "X" (for rudder) and "S" at the same time.

 

The result: falling off the deck because of only low gain NWS.

 

What can I do to fix it?

I noted last night that when the launch bar is down you have to press and hold NSW to enable LO mode but Hi is not available. I had to raise the LB to enable normal NSW then lower it near the Cat. I had not come across this before as most SP missions I play are already on the cat, last night I was on MP and had a C&D start before Taxy.

Thank you all for your helpful suggestions!

Turns out it was in fact pilot error: I forgot to retract the launch bar before taxiing. This prevented the high gain NWS!

Thanks for report

I just came across this and thought it was a bug, saved a false bug report on my side.

I almost fell off the carrier on this one hehe
