Raisuli Posted February 6, 2024 Posted February 6, 2024 (edited) Doing CV ops with CV75 and 59 in the same group; 75 1.2-isn nm port of 59 and a little forward. Set up 59 for TACAN and ILS (and mode 4, but didn't try to link up). No ICLS, but that could have been me just as easily; sometimes it doesn't work with SC. No deck crew, radars spin backwards, yada yada. I like the Forrestal. Took off from 75, lined up to land on 59. First pass bolter (probably me flattening out the alpha). Went back around, and as I passed 75 got the IFOLS in my cockpit from what I assume was 75 simply because it was the only thing close. Landed on 59. In this track I go external to check flight controls, (because I've seen all this before). Line up with CAT 1. I've noticed on 59 the aircraft will creep forward forever once it starts, even with the throttles at idle. I've also noticed once I stop with brakes I have to tap them again, because my brakes in the -18 stick. Different problem. edit - DUH! Didn't box ILS...been a while...that's my excuse (among others) and I'm sticking to it! Line up on CAT 1 and launch. Once I leave the deck no throttle, pitch, or roll control. I had rudder, but that was it. So what did I do wrong? Honestly I don't know if this is a 59 problem, a '59 in a SC CVBG' problem, an F-18 problem, or a me problem. My normal mode is to suspect the latter. Sorry for the long track...incidentally why can I save a track anywhere but only load them from a local drive? Another different problem? 2024.02.05 CV59 Ops.trk Edited February 6, 2024 by Raisuli
