Here's a very quick test version with updated Moose. I haven't tested it more than confirmed that the score starts tracking and I don't get any weird warnings in the log. Please test it if you have the time, and let me know if anything seems off.

Ran it through last night.. working again.  Thanks a million!

@Bankler
Sorry for the late reply, it's been a long weekend! The good news is, it works, both for the Hornet and the for the Tomcat.
Mind including a division of F-14A's as well with the next release?

Hello everyone. My highest rating here is 72 out of 75. I'm always losing three points for going slow on Ramp. Does anyone know if this is due to wake turbulence? I've seen a lot of 75/75 videos but I don't really know if they have wake turbulence activated. Thank you.

Hi all. After the last update the mission stopped working. There are no flight parameters reported. What can be done?

No worries

For some reason. I`m not getting in-Flight feedback anymore( What can cause the problem?

This, three posts above yours?

 VERSION 7.3.0

 

You can now download version 7.3.0 in the Original Post!

Fixing what's broken!

Due to some DCS scripting changes, all missions using Moose stopped working a while back. The guys over at Moose were quick to find the problems and publish a new version. Thanks to them, and thanks to you who helped out testing the little test mission I posted in the thread, we are now back on track. Thank you so much! Happy landings! 

Have a nice holiday later this month! //Bankler

CHANGE LOG

7.3.0
* Updated Moose, in order to get the mission working again after ED's scripting changes.
* Changed overhead tanker TACAN band to Y.

Enjoy!

Hi guys,

I was wondering. Is there a website or something, logging the passes of all pilots willing to share ? I'm not wondering about "who is the best pilot" (we already know that the plaque for the alternates is down in the ladies room). But rather I'm wondering about my level compared to other (dedicated) pilots, if I should still continue to train hard to improve, or if I can settle for my score as ok, and go have fun differently. My best score is 66 / 75, I don't know what it accounts for for an F-14-B (am I average, above, lower ?), and I usually score above 50.

Also, for tomcat lovers, I would like to share my experience, maybe it will help others ? Quite surprisingly and interestingly, I followed Victory's advice at one point, because I could not get beyond a (low and unsatisfactory) score with the tomcat. So I turned the HUD off. I struggled even more at the beginning, because I needed a new routine. But then it clicked and I did not stop improving case I and III. Now, if I turn the HUD back up, I feel it is much easier than ever. But... I can't stand it anymore, so I keep it down, the routine feels more conforting with instruments. Exactly as Victory said, the analog needle of the altimeter is just so much better to understand your vertical speed / variation. So, I would suggest others to train hard without HUD.

PS : My compliments and many thanks to Bankler, you opened this road of a beautiful carrier landing for me.

Hi Bankler,

I've installed your latest legacy version, and noticed it is not legacy anymore. I don't know if I am doing anything wrong. Anyway, I changed it to the Forrestal, and now I broke it  Can you please have a look at it?

Thanks!

Remove your mods. SU-30, Grippen, UH-60 and others are causing this.

Some of the mods have already been updated to address

UH-60 can really make fleet disappear? 

Not going to bother taking Harpoons  anymore, getting the UH-60!

Even though I started the Hornet module almost a year ago, I am still terrible at carrier landings. But I just discovered this amazing training mission and am finding I am even worse than I thought.

Maybe this is not the right place to ask these ultra-noob questions. It seems my main problem is maintaining a constant altitude when desired.

Is it normal to need to use pitch trim when setting up and entering the break to get to that desired 350 kts and 800 feet? I have recently re calibrated my Winwing throttles and stick which seems to help but staying at the desired altitude when making over adjustments to land seems to be elusive for me.

Should flaps be normally at 1/2 or "auto"?

And IF I do need to bolter and go around again to start over, does raising gear and flaps reset the trim?

There is a ton of very useful videos about this topic (among others). Their lengths of over 10 minutes shows how complex this stuff is, I'm not sure learning it by coming back always asking the next question here is an effective or fast way to learn it.

I suggest you pick one and watch it. You can stop it anytime and watch as many times as you deem necessary. But you always take off with half flap and always land with full flaps. Flaps should be opened under 250 kts, even though there is protection against flap overspeed.

Thanks. I knew I shouldn't have asked here! Point taken.

Sure ask here! No problem!

Excellent trainer!

I changed one F-14B to F-14A and CVN-72 to CV-59. Works great. But it would be very kind to add at least one F-14A to airstart into original mission file. 

Thanks again.

Question: Are the ships behind the carrier references or just there?
