Coyle's post in TACAN and ICLS approach questions... was marked as the answer
You'll want to read up on CASE I, and CASE III procedures. CASE II is mix of both (starts CASE III, then transitions to CASE I.
If you're really set on doing 'ICLS approaches' first, then read up on CASE III first. Though it may be best to work towards and refine doing CASE I landings first, at land or at the boat.
Edit:
Have a read through this guide, as it'll tell you pretty much everything you need to know

which can be found with discussion in this thread.

Coyle's post in Tdc in recent update? Still different slew rates? was marked as the answer
The change added the ability to set L&S/DT2 & STT from the SA page using the TDC. This will be a more useful function when we're able to set L&S and such with out radar contribution via the future MSI feature.

Coyle's post in Red AoA doughnut - Today's dumb question was marked as the answer
Couldn't view your track, but those lights seem very, very dim. Double check your AoA brightness knob. It's in the bottom most row of the UFC/HUD stuff, just above the AMPCD.
User preference of course, but: I take mine down to half brightness at night, and only adjust lower if needed to not blow out while using NVGs. Otherwise full brightness during most day operations.

Coyle's post in Grabbing a moving target with the TGP was marked as the answer
I'd avoid using the LITENING, as our ATFLIR should be the better modelled pod in just about every metric and avionics integration since it has come out that we have a Spanish LITENING pod that pre-dates MSI. The one thing we lose out on is not having an IR laser pointer, due to ED modelling a pre-preduction ATFLIR that has neither the NAVFLIR (early pods should) or the IR marker.
You have a couple of options with the ATFLIR. You can SCS long towards the FLIR page to go straight from INR to AUTO (the moving target track) with out having to step INR>SCENE>AUTO, or you can go from SCENE to AUTO more smoothly than the LITENING because you can still slew in SCENE mode, requiring just one command of SCS towards the FLIR page.
If you decide to use the SCS long HOTAS shortcut you can move your LOS along with the target while it cues to track it, or you could move to AUTO ahead of the target and let it run into the cue, where the pod will then pick it up and track it.

Coyle's post in ATFLIR LST HOTAS command not workin? was marked as the answer
Not a bug, as the Cage/Uncage button should invoke another function in the ATFLIR that we are unlikely to get. Being vague on purpose, sorry. But yep, gotta hit the LST button on the DDI.
