How do you get the Carrier Lights to turn on?

[Aravon17]

What are the steps to get the Carrier to turn on the lights with the F-14?

 

I have used Jester to tune to Stennis and I have called out to Stennis as "Inbound", but I never get acknowledged.

 

Is there a post with this procedure in here somewhere? I have not been able to locate any info.

Update: Here's the procedure...

 

So the procedure is: (in case someone wanders in here looking for answer)

Activate Jester - Press A

Move Pointer Line to Empty Space & Press A

Move Pointer Line to AN/ARC Radio & Press A

Move Pointer Line to Tune TAC & Press A

Move Pointer Line to Stennis & Press A

 

Afterwards Press CTRL & \ to bring up Menu

Select ATC

Select Stennis

Select Inbound

Then Stennis will acknowledge and Turn the Lights On

Select Request Landing when given clearance

 

Get that Bird on Deck.

Good question, I don't even see the ball when taking the 'cat.

Are you sure you're keying the correct radio and not the ICS? By default you should be pressing ctrl-\ or alt-\ (check your controls settings) to key the radios. Just pressing \ will key the ICS.

One obvious issue might be that you are not using the right frequency and or radio for the Stennis.

 

What is the proper procedure?

Yes! That was it! THANKS SOUTHPAW!

 

I was indeed pressing the wrong key! The correct key is CTRL-\

 

So the procedure is: (in case someone wanders in here looking for answer)

Activate Jester - Press A

Move Pointer Line to Empty Space & Press A

Move Pointer Line to AN/ARC Radio & Press A

Move Pointer Line to Tune TAC & Press A

Afterwards Press CTRL & \ to bring up Menu

Select Stennis

Select Inbound

Then Stennis will acknowledge and Turn the Lights On

Select Request Landing when given clearance

Use the glidescope indicator. Check here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=236412

The first two steps can be replaced with just pressing A twice.

Carrier lights don't turn on for me in the F18 when I request landing.
