Thanks for these informative posts … a bit "vintage" perhaps … but still full of a lot of great information.

Agree with Slap Stick's comments The Hornet currently has ICLS ( Instrumental Carrier Landing System), so both Case 1 (daylight, good visibility) and Case 3 (night, poor visibility) landing can be successfully flown. The Hornet is soooo complex, and, there are soooo very many systems and armaments to implement, that it will probably be in early access mode (and actively be being changed, added to, improved by ED) for months to come.

Fix may not have resolved the slipping issue as of yet. I too read that the problem with slippage on the deck had been fixed. But, I also read elsewhere that the "Fix" either did not make it into the last patch, or, the problem was not fully resolved. I too still experience skating around the deck when the carrier is doing over about 20 knots.

Thank You Wags … very good practice mission. Thank You very much.

The Instant Action mission for VFR landing at Nellis AFB in Nevada instructs you to land on Runway 12R. I do not believe this is correct …. I do not believe there is such a runway at Nellis … I suspect that 21R is the intended runway.

Out of the four modes you mention, I believe that AACQ is the only one yet to be implemented. Perhaps that will change with the upcoming patch.

Hmmm … I use the easy communication mode a lot in single player to communicate with the Carrier and the Airbases while landing … and it seems to be functioning well for me.

Thanks Akula … I find your list beneficial, and will probably throw in onto my kneeboard.

I prefer to use the enter key and the +key on my number keypad to turn TrackIR on/off and to center it. I prefer this key combination because 1) these keys are not used for much else in the rest of my set-up, 2) these keys are oversized on my keyboard (about twice the size of the rest of the keys), and 3) these two keys are located on the very far right edge of my keyboard, which makes them very easy to locate, even in a dim room, in the heat of a dogfight.

In the Instant Action VFR Landing Mission, the message on the screen indicates we are supposed to be preparing to land at Batumi AFB … but … the Airbase actually in Kobuleti, not Batumi.

Here it is ...
