I thought mine wasn't working delete x:\..\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\ScratchpadConfig.lua to get back the default windows position

Had unexplainable sequence of blue screens and then driver crashes mid game after more memory added to my overclocked 8600K box. After plenty of dead ends, what did not fix it was fine tuning my factory overclocked GTX 1080 by monitoring voltage, temp, fan speed etc. to a little less overclock which helped a lot, but was finely fixed by upping the voltage of my memorybank which are 3200 MHz sticks from the basic XML 1.35V to 1.45V (which should be perfectly acceptable according to the interweb). Who would have thought.

A RL Hornet fighter pilot acknowledged / did hear flaps up might give a shorter braking distance, but in RL he did not do that, because he just didn't (he wasn't taught one should imagine). Then again I/we're DCS simulator pilots and just do not want to run over the end of the runway. In FSX coming in too high with a PMDG 737/747 passenger jet one can do the glider trick, aileron hard left and rudder hard right to bleed altitude but not accelerate. This of course does not happen in RL, but for this one time when a Boeing with stalled engines came from 35,000ft gliding in for an emergency landing and this is what he did.

It depends if drag is higher than wheel surface braking. I tested it when heavy loaded. Brake distance (in DCS Hornet) is shorter with flaps up.

DCS Hornet has horrible brakes. You notice at a. Short runways b. when your heavy - at short(er) runways - with 1. fuel 2. load out (e.g. immediate RTB after TO fully loaded) Landing heavy on a short runway (Senaki Tblisi <8000ft), 1. use full flaps, 2. be as slow as possible whilst considering your weight (don't crash because of your weight if banking) 3. full airbrake at the flare 4. wheels contact immediate at runway threshold 5. raise the flaps at contact 6. try to flare a bit rolling out 7. hard full brakes on the pedals 8. full pull on the stick rolling (weight on wheels)

I think topic starter (and some subsequent answers) are mixing up overhead stack and marshall stack, i.g. " .. a nice circular marshall stack cruise .. " which starts the confusion, and he means the overhead stack I think to read. overhead stack = Case 1 around the boat <5nm, depicted circular / 250kts or rather the 'fuel endurance' speed per the type and conditions, one accelerates out of this stack marshall stack = Case 3 = (15nm + 1nm per 1000s of the stacks) minimum 21nm DME incoming to the ship, depicted as race track (as civil flight) & it being pretty hard to get to the exit fix on the exact assigned time. To fly a night mission you need be able to do this Case 3 hold and the straight in, Case 1 is the daytime good viz procedure with the break.

OK that's unexpectedly weird. THX.

You happen to know how pilots check-in with their boat because it can't be 'Tower', can it now.

Ehh, what happened to 'Charlie' at '3'? Also, I can remember (from a military blog or something) check-in with the boat is not 'marchall' or 'tower' but a callsign specific to the boat (the boats long distance traffic contoller)? Anyone here happens to know how that works?

Pff, then GB would be right (I don't hear it), I rather have DCS figured out ACLS. That Frazor was rumored to be an a excellent pilot everyone figured that out already I guess.

Did I ask you for anything mr. no one flies NATOPS.

Well thank you. It could be considered that a. Frazor used ACLS because he thought 'let's see if this even works', or b. after a few hours of manhandling the MOVLAS in this crazy whether, the LSO got quite the hang of it and eased Frazor in with his MOVLAS now perfectly attuned. In that case the LSO get's the bagel, and Frazor was kidding.

No hard feeling. At all.

That's deflection, you came up with 'auto' that is not there. If you're an LSO, then you should know whether pilots are disallowed to turn on ACLS in bad weather CASE III, per NATOPS preferably, where NATOPS only distinguishes 'extreme weather' as cold/icing. Then again your ' .. HOWEVER, if there are quotes and actual discussions that Fravor says he did a Mode 1, then you win. I can't and won't argue that .. ' would indicate it is not disallowed perse per anyone's knowledge, which would mean it's either up to the pilot or up to the boat chief c.s at Nimitz in 2005, and perhaps whether the ACLS is manned in this weather (of course?), and we would not know unless we know, do we now.

Jesus, how old are you guys. Production team write down is quoted 'autopilot' was said to the admiral. There is no 'auto' at your 8:20 min PBS link. There is 'ball' at 8:11. Anyone who can hear 'auto' at 8min20 I send him a bagel. Pffff

Nope call not made, you're not GB by the way. You're an RL ACLS bad weather pilot? Same DCS virtual squad perhaps?

Super Hornet gets great reviews. Even Trump knew that. Germany won't be buying F35 it seems, they'll buy Super Hornet - and invest in a new europe fighter - .

everyone anywhere near navy will have seen this PBS, it's rather famous 'sex' " .. That night, after hours of bolters, wave-offs followed by white-knuckle landings, there is one last pilot airborne, Dave “Sex” Fravor, Skipper of the Black Aces .. "

That's deflecting, in debating that's not allowed. No straw man, just the facts and the footage. It does not matter if you are a pilot whether Frazor did what on footage with a soundtrack and a time code and the production team present writing down their observations. Does it now. I'm a lawyer.

Ah well, so were you in that pilot room? What about there is no 'auto' call after 'ball'? Edit: reviewing the room footage one more time, actually when half of the room is amazed at the way the camera shows the incoming movement 'woe, that is rock steady' 'how is that possible', that is ACLS calculating and predicting deck behaviour and throttle with it. I'd say.

not substantiated, no civi knows the limits of ACLS not substantiated, civil KLM pilots hand fly heavy weather in, for 'exercise', then again just as many airliners don't allow their pilots to do that. At all. amongst heavy loud shatter at 8:11 you hear incoming 'call the ball' which in the landing procedure is - way - later then any 'auto' 'coupled' or whatever, there is no 'auto' or 'coupled' to be heard again: the film crew wrote " .. Fravor gets that cigar with the Admiral, claiming he landed on autopilot .. " your " .. h. Sex would get more respect for doing a manual landing (using autothrottles), rather than having the computer do it (a coupled autoland, aka a Mode 1) .. " Perhaps Fravor would receive more respect, but that is equally junior pilot awe of brashness, taunting a reckless immature mindset in horrible weather and 40 million USD machinery to say the least, then again that is for instance a known by me many a KLM pilot's mindset, and the known mindset of countless other pilots who are flying in other peoples airplanes these days many starting on minimum wage. Where, mind you, Favor came in last as F18 tanker and fuel is not unlimited. As I said, as skipper on his last recovery taking the seat from a junior female flyer, Fravor took quite a bit of responsibility and flying his dual seater conform NATOPS procedure, forfeiting a cowboy mentality amongst many - younger no doubt - pilots, would gain him plenty of respect from superiors far above his squadrons pay grade, and McDonnell Douglas to boot, who will have showered his actions with champagne, which must have helped making him a commander and be let to address his Nimitz UFO encounter on public civilian platforms. Frankly you cannot have any idea about the ACLS limits, neither that of autothrottle in abysmal weather for that matter.

Actually the film crew wrote " .. Fravor gets that cigar with the Admiral, claiming he landed on autopilot .. " A skipper pilot Favor calling out ' .. I'm coming in in way beyond horrible weather in a pitch black night with my left hand not touching the - auto - throttle .. ' seems the dumbest thing ever, as in rather insane. Whilst putting his Hornet in Mode1 and monitoring if it holds steady in an ample fuel recovery, not so much. For that appears to be rather rational if ACLS is NATOPS standard recovery procedure in CASE I II III 2008 to be found on the web, and done day and night. This rather defeats the arguments against he was not serious when it was noted he "claiming he landed on autopilot". And only f. remains.

a. When Fravor would call out "auto" why should that not be Mode1. b. There is no radio 'auto" heard in the landing scene c. the film crew mentioned Fravor said he landed on autopilot d. "Fravor was joking" cannot be verified e. a senior skipper on his last squadron trap who puts his F18 on auto in horrible weather to see what happens will be commended by plenty of people at McDonnell Douglas f. such a skipper might make it to commander f. unless your callsign happens to be 'sex' there is only circumstantial hearsay and second guessing about what he supposedly meant, or not meant.

Just found the stories from the "PBS Carrier - Landing on a Pitching Deck" 2005 documentary crew. 17 filmmakers shot 1,600 hours of film on the Nimitz, and this one producer states " .. When (skipper Dave) Fravor threads the needle and lands (last in insane midnight weather), there is an uproar. .. Fravor gets that cigar with the Admiral, claiming he landed on autopilot .. " Wait what? This is ACLS 15 years ago.

Or perhaps your USB out, use another one, a 3.0 one, a proper hub with separate power, could be 2.0 or 3.0 actually, get an adapter cable to free motherboard USB pins to try, though you never know which will work when. My previous board had lots of USB issues, my new board had still, but I have created so many options, it now works stable on a few.
