Can take off once; the second time I take off I have no flight controls.

It was reported some time ago. You should have the controls back in the air though, right?

Nope.  At least not as long as it takes to hit the water after going into a nice ballistic arc with only flaps and some rudder to manage it.  Took off from 59, landed on 59, took off again, same problem.  59 is now retired and has been replaced with a different carrier.  My gut is it's not likely to come out of mothballs in my lifetime.

Incidentally if you run up to AB, then back down to mil salute gets you off the boat.  On non-SC carriers all you need is mil.  Still need AB to get off the Kuz, though.  At least if you want to keep flying after the deck ends.

Try doing a full Repair, when weird stuff like this comes up that nobody else reports it’s a good practice. Updates don’t always go right for reasons….

Question: once you hooked down to the Catapult, can you shoot via the Request Launch comm menu ?

No, this is for the supercarrier deck crew to get into launch positions.

[toni]

thanks, so via keyboard I gues

Yes, for non-supercarrier launch you just press Cat Launch/Salute bind (default LShift+U).

We need Forrestals to become a stand alone Module with their own characteristics,prifly,hangar, and more

This the supercarrier at 16x Anisotropic filtering:

And the same at 0x Anisotropic filtering:

The catapaults and other textures smear but the landing lines stay crisp.

The same can't be said for the forrestal at 0x anisotropic filtering:

The white landing area lines smear and become invisible ... or should I say even worse than normal. Given that anisotropic filtering can cause stuttering in VR, can you please do the same as ED is doing with the supercarrier module to keep the landing lines visible?

AF 16x is very cheap and looks horrible at 0x. Why would anyone use it?

REQUEST Make the mules/forklifts visible on the mission editor view so users can avoid them when placing their own statics.

Alternatively, I think I'd rather have them just removed entirely so that players can set up the deck as they desire without worrying about them at all.

We have the units so we can place them ourselves and the ability to make templates with them, but there isn't a way to remove the ones that are already there.

[Nealius]

That as well. When we first got the Forrestal there were no statics on it. At some point we got default statics in a patch.

Why does AF cause stuttering in VR should be the real question. AF these days is basically a fixed 100% setting that devs should just plan on being there. What’s wrong with the VR implimentation?

Looks more like a LOD issue.

[Nealius]

I don't know if it's a Forrestal issue or global DCS issue, but LA lights don't appear until 0.5nm in night CASE III, making lineup a pain.

[Oban]

Is there a fix for the parked aircraft rotating 180's and facing out to sea, instead of facing inwards towards the centreline ?

[Northstar98]

It looks like a couple updates back broke the LSO position - it's no longer accessible despite still being defined in the .lua.

Have you tried to set "allow LSO" in ME for the carrier or is it only for SC?

That option isn't available for the Forrestal (or any other vessel), only CVNs 71-75.

Though I'm guessing that's the issue as that setting seems to default to off (i.e. disallowed).

Ball is unusable at night. The amount of bloom is so excessive that it's a massive cyan blob that's impossible to read.

Always has been. The bloom scourge has been there since 2.5.

It was usable at night the last time I used Forrestal some months ago.

Oh cripes, has lighting gotten worse again? I haven’t done any night in well over a year.

At least the FLOLS. It's usable in the day but crap at night.
