SnappShot Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) Reference google earth imagery of the runways at various NAS's and please implement the carrier landing box. This will increase FCLP immersion. Icing on the cake would be a lighted carrier box for nite fclp. The candle on top of the icing would be the ability to turn off the runway lights, but keep the carrier box lit. Lastly the sprinkles on top would be an integrated ICLS boresighted to match the meatball like its meant to IRL. Edited March 8, 2018 by SnappShot
AcroGimp Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Ditto, would be great! See satellite shot from NAS Lemoore as example.

AG-51_Razor Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 I would think that this would be a static object, the box and the IFOLS, that could be placed on any runway. :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
SnappShot Posted March 13, 2018 Author Posted March 13, 2018 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=203479 Carrier box was mentioned in passing in that thread, it requires more visibilityy from devs and players as to what the carrier box is, besides paint on a runway.
Bonz Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 More important than the carrier box would be the Mobile Lens system. Navy Pilots call FCLP sessions "Bounce Periods". At Night all Navy Pilots get, or need, is the lighted "Carrier" centerline, i.e. no box. Any provider... Third party or ED... doesn't matter to me. This capability would add greatly to the overall product. Bounce periods were a major part of Navy Carrier life... at least stateside Bonz...
SnappShot Posted March 26, 2018 Author Posted March 26, 2018 The carrier box is part the FCLP period, one in same. Rwy centerline doesnt provide same sight cues as a carrier box.
AG-51_Razor Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 I seem to recall Wags mentioning that an FCLP box and IFOLS was definitely in their plans for the future. This was quite some time ago and I was just curious about how far off in the future he was thinking. :pilotfly: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Freeroamer Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 This actually already exists. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3303802/ This doesn't include the Carrier Box, only the lights. I do have a mod that adds the Carrier Box, which I'll upload later.
AG-51_Razor Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 That is awesome!! Thank you, I had no idea that the IFOLS was available. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
