ATC is not a priority for me...nothing is. I used ATC as a point. ED already squashed this some time ago. Personal scheduling time and skill are not something that ED can program out or in. That is a personal problem! Helpers don't help if the person being helped only wants someone else to do the work! The OP made it very clear. All this is, is wheel spinning!

Some players want, not all! We've been wanting and waiting for better ATC and yet... Only mentioned WT because that's where he said he wanted to go!

The thing is, you weren't insulted in any way. You were given honest thoughts, ideas and opinions on an issue. The community tried to help you. If you choose to leave, that's on you. We can help but clearly, you don't want it! Maybe War Thunder suits you better and I wish you well.

Well, that clears that up! Thanks for letting us know that you have no intention to do it, you want it done for you...got it!

Well said!

Spot on!

Post a track! There is other post related to this. A few were attributed to landing overweight. I've done multiple traps and shore recoveries since the update and broke the Landing gear once, intentionally! With the update, I get better LSO grades and OK 3's and 4's.

Yeah, that pesky "no proper communication" call usually comes from not following proper procedure. I'm not familiar with Banklers but I'm pretty sure if you do not follow procedure from start to finish (proper comms and actually following the LSO) the same results will keep presenting themselves. All the little parts matter, even the AOA indexer lights! Upon ball acquisition, you should be focused on meatball, lineup, AOA! Touch and go's instead of LShift R would be more instrumental in getting you what you want, that's if you are trying to fly the correct pattern and approach.

The Lens or "meatball" is not meant to give the Pilot lineup information, only glideslope. The ICLS needles are nice to have as a reference but really not needed except for CASE II and III. Personally, I use the needles all the time because, why not?! Everything is a checkpoint. ABEAM the LSO platform 1.5 nm, start your turn. As you cross the wake, your RADALT goes off around 490ft, this an indicator of where you are. On a straight-in approach, since that would put you into the CASE II or III block, then of course use the needles until ball acquisition. Just curious though, how do you admit that you are doing your traps wrong but claim that you do not listen to the LSO in the first place? Seems you have to bridge that gap somehow. The LSO is mostly right, (except for the Tomcat) mostly! I find that if the approach is good, he won't say anything! I've never used Banklers as it seemed like a crutch to me.

Copy, thanks!

Not to be that guy but refueling in the Tomcat is not that difficult. Trim it out, set the wings to "bomb" or not and go at it. The Hornet is easier because of the Flight Controls but it's still the same song and dance. And I must admit, while performing AAR in a turn is a bit attention holding, the challenge is where it's at! AAR is basically flying form! I keep seeing these post on AAR and about how difficult it is...makes me wonder. Congratulations on making it work though!

Are there any plans for the LSO to recognize and distinguish touch and go's from true bolters? Currently, you get a BIW grade for performing a hook up pass as if you missed a wire. Not sure if anyone else has this issue.

Been feeling the same way...just didn't want to rock the boat (no pun intended)!

Hello, I use a Win Wing F/A-18 setup. The Super Taurus setup with the stick centered between my legs. From what I've read and what I use is zero curves. The saturation can go all the way to 100. I have played with a little negative curve, but it makes the FM to twitchy or it feels mushy, so I went back to zero. From some of the forum post that I've read, curves are needed mostly for those that have the desk top type of sticks.

Not entirely true. On-speed can be held in the turn, it just has to be managed properly.

From what I understand ED already consults with real Hornet drivers, the SME's! I'm thinking some of the trim problems are the byproduct of bad technique combined with a new way of doing business.

As the banner says, you need to produce a track!

Same here!
