5:36, could be wrong, but AFAIK the way you interpreted the signals is wrong, if he's extending his right arm (you'll see it on your left) it means TURN LEFT, not move towards his right, same for go straight is literally go straight, not turn towards him, just saying cause I've seen a bunch of people on servers end up misaligned at the catapult for doing exactly that
Carrier takeoff trim: 16-19, depending on weight. 16 is fine for any reasonable loadout. Hornet takes off hand off the stick, so no "pull up slightly". The right hand is on the towel rack at that point. Typically, in DCS at least, one needs to push forward on the stick to stay below 500' AGL within 7NM. Cheers!
@@p90arn just for learnings purposes I guess. And to cover the issue of playing with "random system failures" turned on. Love your content though, keep up the awesome work!
At which point I would run through the checks, however, it is a basic start up to get people flying. 99% of servers do not have failures, the video is aimed at getting people up.
Don't worry. The plane gives you a checklist with everything you have left to activate to takeoff safely. It won't tell you to activate the IFF, DL or ECM. But everything else will be told
