Thanks BIGNEWY, we appreciate the responsiveness. (It's very hard to land manually after a few cold ones!)

Concur. I used to go hands off all the way to the trap every time, basing my workflow step by step on Wags original ACLS video. It seems to have changed sometime in the last 4 months.

Ok Apologies, I think I have all mods and such removed, ran a couple file repairs, this should be a good to go trackfile attached youtube of the final phase of that trackfile below. cleantracknomods.trk dcs.log

Hello Bignewy, Thank you. (I do have one Mod called GCbase, I will remove and re-record a proper track) I have always launched DCS from the vanilla launcher and do not know of any mods that I have ever installed? (Aside from skins) The mission did have a couple scripts like moose and CTLD, I removed them all and tried another Trackfile, hopefully that works, if not I can try and repair build or do a clean install. .

Redid test to be bang on 140knots as commanded, still bolters / and/or hits hard and bends gear every time. ensured my altimeter is correct as commanded, am on all parameters given by ACL, boat is 29 knots and my weight is below 31k. Latest example (13JUL25 below) tracktest2.trk

Okay doke, this time I went in AirBoss slot, made absolutely sure boat was set up in parameters, then shot the approach. I THOUGHT I had it figured out by ensuring setting my altimeter to 2993 (as I was not positive it was changed from 2992 on previous attempts). I was thrilled when the approach looked pretty good, and actually (barely) snagged a one wire... I am unsure if it was the 2993 setting, using the AB slot to ensure boat was set up for recovery, or a little of both; however, in the end, the plane still came down steep, and hard enough to bend the gear. I just know this isn't right... I am at a loss. I am curious if coupling up after having my ATC set is causing a problem. I was assuming, probably incorrectly, that when coupled and in ATC the jet would modulate the throttles as needed for a good landing... In this case I set my ATC at 148, 8 knots faster than commanded by the ACL, and it looks like it stayed at 148 the whole time, (though I would think the extra speed would make me go long and not smack down short.) track.trk

My ACLS functions perfectly as expected, however after the ball call it seems to come down too hard, a bit short, and always results in a bolter. In this test there is zero wind, and the carrier is steaming at 29 knots TRK file attached, Youtube vid (sped up) attached server-20250703-005600.trk

Much the same as described in this thread - How-ever that OP maked his thread as solved, and i wanted to post that I have a similar problem.

I had this issue as well for the first time last night on PG. No mods at all, 4090. Did @BIGNEWY get trackfiles he needed from folks in the thread?

Seems like the smoke is back to lasting about 5 minutes, is that how it is intended?

Just wandered in here to say this exact issue of the LOFT bombs running long is still going on today (3 years later) It is driving me mad trying to figure out what i am doing wrong!

Hi Gents, I have used this trainer for many years, Thanks for all the Hard Work Bankler. When i play in single player the Script throws out the in-cockpit button commands to lower hook, punch course, ect. However, it seems the trigger does not fire/or pressbutton does not complete correctly in Multi. Any work around? I know I can just have the guys press in the cockpit interactions manually, but for speeds sakes I would love to replicate how it works in single. Thanks!

This is v1.1 I will likely improve the Mounted Cavalry image in v1.2 https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3321978/

Yea I think I will try that, Also watching my tracks for pointers is helping. I can't believe I did not realize till this thread that LSO was voiced by Jell-o LOL

I am struggling too, constantly get 3PTSIW, even though I am centering the ball all the way down, and on speed. Frustrating.
