    Minsky's post in Cannot put some ship types in harbours (description.lua depth problem?) Not sure if map or ship lua file is the issue. was marked as the answer   
    3rd parties could've set the ship's dimensions smaller than the actual model. Just to avoid this particular problem.

    Minsky's post in steps in Airfields Mesh was marked as the answer   
    EDIT: Fixed in DCS 2.9.3.51704 - 22.02.2024
    Already reported back in June, but Ugra has been too busy cannibalizing The Channel to actually fix this:

    Minsky's post in Apache will not respond to controls was marked as the answer   
    Disable active pause.
    Or press the spacebar as it telling you:

    Minsky's post in Undesignate/Missile Reject Switch was marked as the answer   
    It's the boat switch.

    Minsky's post in C-101CC CTD's was marked as the answer   
    Just tested it in a couple of built-in missions (latest patch + MT), works fine on my end. Seems like you have quite a lot of mods, maybe try removing them and see if it helps?

    Minsky's post in Excessive static/background noise in received radio tranmissions was marked as the answer   
    Once you have APU ON or engines started, flip these switches forward with the right mouse button (in either cockpit). These are momentary switches, and they will return to center once released--this is normal.

    Minsky's post in Cannot contact tanker since ARC-210 was marked as the answer   
    MPRS cannot use boom. Call for a regular KC-135.

    Minsky's post in F18 comms preset frequencies change in-flight was marked as the answer   
    Erm... When you select a preset with a rotary knob, then punch in another frequency and press ENT, this frequency will be saved into the selected preset. Rinse and repeat.
    P.S. A handy list of all your presets is available under SUPT > UFC BU.

    Minsky's post in ACLS - All I get is CPL HDG was marked as the answer   
    This is the most likely cause of this issue. I haven't watched the track replay, so it could be something else.
    I'd suggest practicing this offline with the simplest mission possible: only you and the ship.
    The ACLS is not that complicated once you understand its cues and the order they appear on the Link 4 page during the approach.

    1. Configure and enable ACLS before the "Inbound" call. Confirm the "ACL 1" status on the Link 4 page. If it's not there, then something (the boat and/or the on-board ACLS) is misconfigured.
    2. Once reported "Established", confirm the "T/C" cue.
    3. When the ATC says: "Final radar contact, 8 miles", confirm the "LND CHK" cue.
    4. At 6 nm the ACL tadpole should appear on the HUD. Check the "ACL RDY" cue, and make sure the "T/C" cue is replaced with "MODE 1". Else you most certainly won't get the CPLD P/R option.
    5. At 4 nm ATC says: "Approaching glidepath". Decouple the autopilot if it was coupled (use the paddle switch), then press UFC > A/P > CPL to couple ACL. This can be done as soon as the tadpole appears on the HUD. "ACLD RDY" cue is then replaced with "CMD CNT", and the "CPLD P/R" cue appears on the HUD.

    Minsky's post in Where are the keybinds for "Video Recording" switches (on the IFEI panel)? was marked as the answer   
    Maybe they can track switches' position via scripts, or just added this for the immersion (the VTRS is actively used in real life). But in our Hornet this panel is not actually tied to any system, and control nothing.
    EDIT: Check this reply.

    Minsky's post in Case III procedure in case of a bolster was marked as the answer   
    As said above, bolters & waveoffs aren't implemented yet (and neither does the ACLS reacquisition).
    If you don't have human ATC directing you, you can simulate the "loss of comms" procedure from the NATOPS which is roughly described in the "supercarrier AI" boxes below:

    No issue here:

    Minsky's post in Supercarrier number lights. was marked as the answer   
    AFAIK this argument is not tied to anything in DCS (yet?)
    Can be forced via liveries tho:

    Minsky's post in SAMs on the SA page was marked as the answer   
    The RWR can only provide azimuth, not the distance.
    Think of it as intelligence data. It displays "known locations" of most SAMs whenever neither of these boxes is checked:

    Minsky's post in ACLS, case III : mode 1 switch to mode 2 was marked as the answer   
    Switches where?
    Don't think our Hornet is even capable of showing anything but "MODE 1" on the ACL page.
    And the ATC always says "fly MODE 2", just ignore it.

    Minsky's post in What is BCN ? was marked as the answer   
    Radar beacon* is a part of the ACLS, and from my (quite limited) understanding it turns on and works automatically during ACL. Even if the current DCS implementation of that button is not a placeholder, we aren't supposed to fiddle with it that much during normal ops.
    *This is a newer version of the unit installed on our legacy Hornet, but it should give you a general idea of what it does.
