Vertigo72 Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 When making a mission in mission editor, what do I need to do to ensure ACLS is available on the carrier? I tried enabling tacan and ILS, but on the kneeboard, ACLS is still unticked for the carrier and Im not entirely sure if ACLS works or not, due to the forcefeedback bug preventing me from actually using any autopilot

I tried enabling tacan and ILS, but on the kneeboard, ACLS is still unticked for the carrier and Im not entirely sure if ACLS works or not, due to the forcefeedback bug preventing me from actually using any autopilot I've managed to use it always, without any additional options enabled. Just make sure you know how to use it. Edited May 5, 2019 by Blinde
Ramsay Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 I've managed to use it always, without any additional options enabled. Just make sure you know how to use it. Do you use a force feedback stick, I haven't successfully flown a ACLS landing since FFB support was 'improved' and trim center became dynamic (causing issues with the auto pilot and Jester). i9 9900K @4.8GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 11 Pro x64, Odyssey G93SC 5120X1440
Vertigo72 Posted May 5, 2019 Author Posted May 5, 2019 I do use a FFB stick, and I have done a few ACLS landings. The trick seems to be to center the trim and the stick before enabling it (pressing N). It still occasionally falls out of automatic mode, but Im not sure if that is FFB related. And btw, its unbelievable the only warning the pilot had was dim barely visible light going out. If ACLS disables on short final and you didnt see the light go out, you are pretty much dead. BTW, my issue with the carrier not activating ALCS seems to have been that I just need to announce Im inbound?
Blinde Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 Do you use a force feedback stick, I haven't successfully flown a ACLS landing since FFB support was 'improved' and trim center became dynamic (causing issues with the auto pilot and Jester). No I'm not. I don't even know are there any modern Hotas systems with FFB available.
QuiGon Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 No I'm not. I don't even know are there any modern Hotas systems with FFB available. Because there aren't. Most FFB users still use the old MS Sidewinder FFB2 stick. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
Vertigo72 Posted May 6, 2019 Author Posted May 6, 2019 Aside from Brunner, which is not really affordable nor really usable in DCS, due to patent licensing issues, there havent been any decent FFB sticks made for the past ~20 years , ever since the MS FFB2 launched. Those Patents start expiring this year, or may already have, Im not too sure. I sooo hope Virpil or any of the boutique hotas shops jump on this. 2 of my 3 FFB2 sticks are beginning to show some slop around the center, and giving up forcefeeback is something Im not willing to do, especially not when paying premium prices for a highend setup.
