I'm pretty sure the deck is quite a bit smaller on the Forrestal vs the Super. Plus while they look very similar they are different class ships so they aren't identical. I would guess you're just not used to the smaller deck, keep practicing you will get it!

Do you have to do a full AAR to continue on? I managed to get to the tanker with around 12K of fuel, spent the next hour trying to refuel and gave up.

I know this is a dated topic, but recently been playing this campaign and love the style of it. I would love to see a Hornet version too!

Not sure if it causes the warning, but I see your trim isn't set for Takeoff, on the FCS page, it shows stab 2, it should be 12 I believe for land and 16/17/19 (dependant on weight) for CV. Make sure you press the little middle button on the trim dial just to the left of the FCS Reset button. When I'm starting up, I put my flaps up, press FCS Reset, do the BIT test, once its done, drop flaps to half and hit T/O Trim.

I just watched this video and was practicing radar stuff earlier and came across the same issue. I'm fairly new to the Viper though, so I don't know if the system was doing things correctly and just not displaying it, or not working at all.

Old thread, but I just picked up one last week. Amazon had a few in stock, paid 410 USD tho for it.

Sorry for the delay, had a busy couple days. Ok So, first thing I did was plug my throttle into the front USB port, and stick into the rear port. Seemed to help MAYBE a bit. Next thing I did was turn LED brightness off, and issues seemed to have fixed themselves, did 3-4 hours in a few different A/C and no issues (I even tried to test it, by flipping multiple switches at once). Got my USB hub in the mail, plugged my keyboard and mouse into the hub and turned the other 4 ports off. That hub goes into the back of my PC into a 3.0 slot, with my stick next to it. TrackIR and webcam are plugged into the 2 USB 2.0 slots in the back. The Throttle and my headset adapter are plugged into the front of my case on the 3.0 slots. I don't have any rhyme or reason to why I set my things up like that, mostly cord management and I figured minimize the USB load into the PC, which is why I plugged my mouse/keyboard into the hub, I also don't know if turning off the unused ports on the hub does anything, I just did it. Since doing that, I have done probably another 6+ hours of flying and only had one issue. I also messed with the LED's a bit, I was able to put a single color (Green or Red) at 100 and it's still ok. After the one issue, I opened the software and saw that the little pinky "dial" on the throttle was stuck in a press, once I cleared it, I haven't had an issue since. I also don't put it past it to happen every so often, so chalk it up to that as well. I still suspect from the remedies people have found, that it is indeed a power/single plug issue, once the LEDs are bright, and you push 3+ buttons at once it goes bonkers. Heck, my keyboard has 2 USB plugs for it. Sadly something like that will most likely never get a fix because it doesn't make any sense for Logitech to change it to 2 USB plugs, and while you could probably split it yourself, most people including myself probably won't. Does anyone happen to know if its possible to totally disable input from a slider/rotary? I ask because right now I don't use the 2 rotary dials on the throttle and they are so easy to jiggle, it would be nice to just disable an input from it, same with the little slider bar, I have no use for that. Just trying to think of possible ways to take the workload off for things people may not use. Yeah, its almost like when the 3 series first came out alot of chipsets weren't good for it, and people had to buy older cpu's just to flash the bios. That's why I spend the extra money and got the 570 chipset. I had heard a few others that seemed to work, but better safe than sorry.

I will chime in as well, since this seems to be an on-going issue. However, I just got an X56 today, and only used it for a few hours, but had read about the ghosting before getting it, and saw it happen immediately to me. I also, have not tried any fixes yet, simply installed the software, plugged the throttle into the back of my Motherboard, and the Stick to the front USB on my case. I also have a Gigabyte X570 Gaming X MoBo (but have not had any USB issues until now). I do not currently have any free USB ports either. I have a Ryzen 5 3000 series and from what I read the 3000 series didn't seem to have the USB issues the 5000 did with the 550/570 chipsets As soon as I hopped in my plane, I noticed it. I also noticed, it seemed to happen ALOT more once I tuned my rotary knobs and was using them, before I was able to get in the air and do a 1 hour training session, the bottom 3 switches (gear,flaps,hook) went off maybe 5-6 times during the flight, but I was able to quickly fix it and still fly. Later I set my RTY 1 and 2 Knobs to an axis command, and once I twisted them I was getting ghosting from more then the 3 switches every 10-15 seconds, I couldn't even start my plane. I also had my throttles unhinged and moved them separately. This makes me think once it gets more than a few inputs it starts bugging out, which would correlate with some people saying it happened less with LED's off, or rotary's centered/not used, etc. I mean who knows, maybe it could be just too many raw inputs at once to send thru 1 USB plug, which might also explain why the stick doesn't really have any ghosting issues. I'm no expert so take what I say with a grain of salt. I am getting a 7-port powered USB hub, to do some testing with, I will also try what Tantrumus said, by plugging in to the front. I will post my results tomorrow.

Sorry if this has been brought up before or is in the totally wrong spot, not really a bug, and don't know if it would be considered an SC or Plane "thing", but there's a few things I've noticed after trying out the hornet on the carrier this week and was curious if others have noticed it, and if my perception is totally off. I feel like overall the hornet feels more "lively" on the deck than the cat does. First thing, the launch bar on the tomcat doesn't fully come down, or "lock-into" the shuttle, isn't a game-changer but for an immersion nut, I noticed it after trying the hornet and seeing it's launch bar connect to the shuttle was hoping it might be down the road. Second, when you get launched in the hornet you can see and almost feel it "bounce" to life as it launches, and the same once you clear the deck, when it kinda "drops". I know the cat is much bigger and heavier, which would explain why it wouldn't "bounce" when you launch, but I don't get that same "drop off the deck" sensation I got from the hornet. Overall, the "feeling" I get when I launch with the cat, doesn't feel as "lively and jumpy" as the hornet does, which may be normal, I'm just an arm chair pilot. Last, and this may not even be right, its hard to watch replays, and swap to 3rd person right after landing to see, but it looks like after you land the hornet, the arresting wire will pull your plane back a bit, and the wire will "react" when you put your hook up. Again, to me the cat doesn't feel as "lively", and seems like after you catch the wire, it will just retract back when it wants, which causes the wire to sometimes get "stuck" on your hook when you put it up. Again this is just my opinion, and was curious if I'm just wanting too much out of the game or if others have noticed the same.

Have you tried using the comm's menu to request launch? I don't know if thats the same as pushing U or Shift-U, but I've gotten in a habit, if I'm pulling up to them and they aren't "responding" when they should, I just "Request Launch" from the ground crew. 9/10 it seems to work for me, if it doesn't sometimes I can turn around and try a different cat, and sometimes it gets to a point where I just re-slot.
