metalrockerlion62 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I am learning this New Great representation of a f14 . VF51, USS kitty hawk and USS Carl Vinson I was a former crewmember in the same airwing CAG 15 1980- 1984 VAW-114, This aircraft needs TLC compared to the F18 .. I have searched the data base and cannot understand why the DLC flaps stick in the down position after i use the DLC feature on landing . I have the wings swept for slower speeds and keeping the airspeed low to enter the groove ( have crashed more than landed) It is annoying because I am doing the CLP that all navy pilots are required to do (FCLP) is written in the NATOPS Chapter 4 -- so what I am i doing incorrectly for the DCL feature to continue to be stuck in the down position ..? I use wing sweep auto feature a lot while doing this -- I have to improve on the rules concerning landing on a carrier <<<<WIP Thanks for the help newbie navy virtual pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cab Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) So the spoiler on top of each wing that pops up when you engage DLC? If so, make sure the ANTI SKID SPOILER BK switch is OFF for carrier ops. Edited April 13, 2021 by Cab Added additional information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt_Jaeger Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying.... English is not my first language DLC .... .wings auto 20 Deg, Flaps full down, DLC selected. After the Trap, DLC is supposed to be off, since you (hopefully) hit mil which would disengage DLC and Airbrakes. If your Flaps won't raise, you most probably have them jammed due to deploying them whilst still to fast.... below 225 Knots will be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt_Jaeger Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) I wouldn't know....for the A most probably, for the B I doubt it, since takeoff is done in full MIL only. In that case it doesn't matter because, if everything is set up correctly, as soon as you hit the AB detent (aka full mil) Speedbrakes and DLC should retract right away.

JupiterJoe Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) Oh, okay. My bad. Do the AI obey that rule? Is it just MIL power for cat launches too? Edited April 14, 2021 by JupiterJoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draconus Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I have not checked if AI is properly modeled for that.
