Have you remembered to lower the launch bar?

This can often be solved by doing the keybinds in a mission instead of from the main menu.

Are you selecting the mavs and de-selecting them again, or do you leave them selected for the full 3 minutes?

Is your RWR on?

Multiengine transport would be a game changer for DCS. Thinking C-130 for instance and a potential to develop also specialized version - tanker, gunship.... If doing multiple variants, maybe go full Kerbal with an XFC-130H variant. :laugh:

Try setting a different laser code.

Edit "DCS World\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Input\FA-18C\joystick\default.lua", and put this in on line 8 (below the line that starts with "join") { down = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, up = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS, value_down = -1.0, value_up = 1.0, name = _('Speed Brake Switch - EXTEND/RETRACT'), category = {_('_Custom'), _('HOTAS')} }, it should add a new keybind "Speed Brake Switch - EXTEND/RETRACT" in a category called "_Custom". This will extend the speedbrake when you push it, and retract it when released. Making it perfect for the x55 "slider"/speedbrake switch.

Try using the fingerlifts and check if the "deadzone" goes away.

Set the parking brake back on, it should restart after a little while.

Do you use HTS or TDC mode on the pod when slewing to the target?

Yes, go to controls -> axis -> Zoom

I threw this together for someone else that asked earlier. https://gfycat.com/NippySlimConch After that, dispenser switch aft should trigger the chosen program (if manual) And dispenser forward starts program 5.

I think this is more like that way it's supposed to be done: https://gfycat.com/NippySlimConch

I noticed the same, at some point I could also select weird amounts of scan bars.

I guess I can post my 4th attempt (3rd successful) landing as well Slight backstory, for some reason this carrier, on the server I was playing on, had decided to just keep going in a circle. So obviously we had to try landing on it :P

Here, this will extend when pressed and retract when released {down = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, up = hotas_commands.THROTTLE_SPEED_BRAKE, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS, value_down = -1.0, value_up = 1.0, name = _('Speed Brake Switch - EXTEND/RETRACT'), category = {_('_Custom'), _('HOTAS')}},

Ok, here's my first attempt at a carrier landing (other than vertically with a Harrier)

Or you can put them in Saved Games\DCS\Kneeboard\AJS37

I think you'll need to be more specific than that.

They do sometimes update the changelog...

Here's an even easier way, set the selector switch highlighted below to "dop" and use the bars on the artificial horizon.

The radio panel was enabled in 2.5.1.

Try using a different laser code. I found it to be more reliable when NOT using 1111.

For no.2 I seem to recall it saying that you have to be on the stores page on the left screen to get mav video.

Make sure you don't bump or otherwise touch the throttle until it's ready to start.
