Cpt Cuckoo Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) 1) Often when driving my F18 on the carrier deck the NWS doesn't work properly and instead of turning away from the edge of the deck it goes straight, sometimes into the ocean. It's random. 2) Sometimes, after landing on a carrier and rearming and refueling the crew ignores me at the catapult and wont hook me up. Are they bugs?

Tholozor Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) Start your roll before turning. NWS HI deflects the nose gear so much that too much thrust will overpower the wheel traction and it just slides. Taxi RPM should be no greater than 75%, and turns should be made in idle.

I'll make sure to attempt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foka Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 1. You can't turn on "hi" wigh to much spped, the tire will slide sideways, you have to be very slow and AFAIR NATOPS says that turns should be done on engines on idle. 2. You have to contact ground crew on comms menu and ask for a launch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contact ground crew to request launch pushing the " \ " key. Nothing happens. Is there another frequency I must use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming there is a typo in there and you meant the parking brake needs to be OFF while taxing? Having the parking brake on is not going to do anything helpful while taxing.
