Micr0 Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 Hi, all. I'm a recent convert from FSX and am loving this simulator. My question is, the Long Range Lineup System is not always used on actual carriers. Is there a way to disable it?

Unfortunately no, much the same as you always have crew on all catapults at all times AFAIK. The upcoming airboss station might have some control over whether or not certain features are operating, I wonder if @Jackjack171 can help out, as he's infinitely more knowledgeable than me on the subject.

Micr0 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Posted January 25, 2021 Thanks for the reply, Northstar. I was afraid of that. What I'm trying to do is make night traps under ziplip as realistic as possible. Even with an overcast layer and reduced visability, I can still see the LRLS like 5 miles out. Also, I'm not aware of the Airboss station as I'm still a SuperNoob. What is that? 1

Unfortunately, this is where I have to ask that myself. From my vantage point on the Flight Deck, we never seen/saw the LRLS. The same for the drop lights. In the Tower, the Air Boss controls the lighting. He has an entire crew to help him set the lights. When the launch is complete, the Boss orders the lights aft lowered and the Landing area and lens lights come on. Also, the Beacons are already on but stay green for recovery. I assume the drop lights and LRLS come on at that same time. Kind of longwinded but it's all coming back to me as I type. Lol 1 DO it or Don't, but don't cry about it. Real men don't cry!
Northstar98 Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Cheers @Jackjack171 I think based on what you've said it's safe bet to say that the control functionality for the LRLS is probably coming with the airboss station currently in development. 8 hours ago, Micr0 said: Thanks for the reply, Northstar.

Think of it as the carrier equivalent of ATC/Tower that you'd see at a land based aircraft, at the moment in DCS they essentially only coordinate with aircraft in the pattern (with a fair degree of limitation, though that's more a problem with other AI aircraft) with the LSO (landing safety officer) being your approach talk-down equivalent.

Micr0 Posted January 26, 2021 Author Posted January 26, 2021 Copy that. Thanks for your help, dude. Much appreciated. I'm very quickly getting addicted to this SIM. 1

Micr0 Posted June 12, 2022 Author Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) So, if anyone wants to "backdate" their Supercarrier and turn off the LRLS, I discovered how. Open the specific supercarrier .lau file in ..../DCS World/Core Mods/tech/USS Nimitz/Database and change the LRLS line to false. Here is a test I did without the LRLS. It's a lot more intense when you get visual reference tothe ship only a few seconds out: Edited June 12, 2022 by Micr0
