IFLOLS – ICLS misalignment


GumidekCZ

Recommended Posts

Bug I want to report here is about misalignment of IFLOLS – ICLS discussed in many topics here. Like this one:

I searched for any evidence, how these systems were aligned in RW and surprisingly found these documents, where its described how certification process demanded to align and corelate these system to show almost exact/nearly same glideslope plane – not just angle, to provide pilot “seamless transition from ICLS needle guidance to IFLOLS visual guidance.” This was done through certification process of the systems described in documents down bellow.

With this report, I want to mention, that we are still waiting for Eye-to-Hook height manual and automatic adjustment, corelated between these systems to allow to any plane in DCS equipped with hook to hit the deck with hook exactly between 2 and 3 wire or any other place decided manually by human controlled LSO station. Lack of this very important feature was also discussed many time on forum. I almost forgotten to mention here also the missing AN/SPN-46, AN/SPN-41 indication of landing aircraft radar lock on LSO screens for bad weather recoveries.

There is mentioned that LSO PLAT cam was adjusted independently on ICLS and FLOLS by LSO before each recovery by aircraft Eye-to-Hook value. I dont know if the LSO PLAT cam is still adjusted independently at our Stennis class improved PALS system with new IFLOLS and whole new LSO station, when compared with the Forrestal class carrier.

Nice feature to have is selectable Reticle illumination; black for day, white for night.

I will ask the team about Eye-to-Hook height but can not promise anything at the moment, as for making demands, you need to relax a little.

Did you just say "you demand" bro? Come on now! 

FYI, 
We are still waiting for wands for night operations...

Well... to be fair... this is not a free mod, this would be a really good comment if it was, but this is an expensive product, he has every right to demand value for his money.

Key phrase here, which is often forgotten. For the price of a high-fidelity single-engine WW2 module we got a detailed 3D model, extra spawn points, ATC comms (that won't automatically switch with weather/daylight changes), placeholder LSO grading, and interactive deck crew limited to daylight Hornet operations only (as Tomcat support is spotty in everything from crew interaction to LSO comms/grading).

I get it, and he "fixed" himself! There's a way to ask for things and not sound like a total tool. I've spent a lot of money as well, but I would not approach the Devs that way...it screams entitlement!

Enough said there.

Bumping up with ask about the state of this bug. I hope for "Reported" and fix in future.

Same, bumping again.

We have a misaligned ball that disappears when lined up right of runway, and those bugs are sitting here unresolved for a year, I mean, come on.
