I believe that's a function of T/O trim. After resetting FCS but before pressing T/O trim, I see 9 degrees nose down STAB when pushing the stick forward. After pressing T/O trim, the STAB shows 12 degrees nose up with no stick movement, and 3 degrees nose up when pushing the stick forward. The difference being the 9 degrees. Also, I don't believe the stabiliator moves the same amount when pushing the stick forward as it does when pulling it back, because the negative G limit is -3 while the position G limit is 7 ( or higher when holding the paddle switch ) The NATOPS says when cycling the controls after pressing FCS Reset, T/O trim, and setting flaps to auto, you should see the following: Full Aft: 24 NU stab Full forward: 3 NU stab R/L aileron: Check 20 units differential stabilator. Check differential trailing edge flaps.

The super carrier manual has pictures showing the safe zones for static object placement depending on how many planes you expect to launch or recover. They start on page 103. https://forum.dcs.world/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=418684&key=e5838013700aceb9733f1cd2c129e0d0

I'm interested in joining. I fly the F/A-18C and can currently do a cold startup, take off from an airfield and carrier, land at an airfield, and navigate using tacan and waypoints. I practice regularly but would like some more constructive training and feedback to get better and fly missions with other people.
