A4E carrier lighting control using ATC?

[Harley Davidson]

Have been trying to contact the Stennis in twilight landing using the radio menu and can't seem to get the carrier to turn on lights for landing... This a missing feature or my issue

Radios are not accessible without the SDK. The only people you can talk to with the radio menu is ground crew with the canopy open.

As Tirak says, the radio is INOP within DCS, although Cribob has given a nice workaround with SRS for squadron comm's.

 

We have verified that the Carrier will turn the lights on if you fly the CVN pattern AND it is full dark, also TaccaFrenchy's NVG Mod works well although the Scooter cockpit is not NVG optimized, you will want to turn the lighting way down, recommend NVG's for approach to the CV pattern, NVG's off once in the groove.

The Ball on the Stennis is optimized for the Hornet, Scooter seems to indicate low, if you fly the Ball you miss the landing zone\wires.

 

And I might have been below even normal A-4E-C glideslope for part of that - was my first night trap in the Hotrod.
