How to get Stennis to turn on the lights?

[lwalter]

I saw 2 other posts in this forum but they don't help:

- in the first thread, one says there's a bug, while others claim it works

- in the second thread, I read that you should be able to ask for "landing clearance", but I don't get this in my available radio messages

 

This is what I'm doing:

- time is about midnight, so completely dark

- TACAN and ILCS properly tuned in and bringing me to the carrier

- radio call for inbound works

- the carrier has some lights on, but impossible to actually tell the landing zone from the rest

 

Then, I get very close to the carrier and nothing else happens:

- not possible to call for landing clearance

- no lights switching on

 

What's the right procedure to get it to work? or is it really a bug? (I'm currently with the latest beta)

Hi,

 

this is a bug and will be fixed for the next open beta.

 

As long as you have called inbound the lights should be prepared.

 

thanks

Will they come on only at night, or also during case 3 conditions?
