80-85% How much power Hornet needs to go over catapult shuttle?

Somehow I always do it wrong. In DCS, it feels like hitting a wall and stopping abruptly, and then I need a lot of power.

 

Here on the video you can see very smooth operation. Any recommended technique?

I go nearly to full throttle and right back to idle. It feels like there are two stops. The first one is a firm stop. Then it feels like it moves another 8 inches and hits a super solid stop. When I first tried it, the thrust would get it to the first stop, but not the second. Thats why I crank it up so much.

I agree. And we need a Shooter or TSPO as charismatic as this gentleman! JK

If I haven't missunderstood you completly  

I usually go for a fuelflow of about 30-35 to push the Hornet into the "hook-up" with the shuttle; once it's looked, I go back to idle.

This might be contrary to what is most oftenly referered to: engine-percentage. I've found that fuelflow gives a bit more nuanced power-level-reading, atleast for operation at sea-level/close to sea-level. (Im probably not alone in this )
