Nah, at least now I have a excuse, like you know Mr. LSO, the IFLOLS is off, so I can't do better

Could anyone explain what happened? I haven't used the SC with F-14 for a long time. It used to work before? Or it never works?

IFLOLs is setup  for the Hornet. If you try to land with the tomcat, the Ball is leading u to low and to short. Also u get all the time the warning u are too slow.

The hook to eye distance is different between airframes (Hornet, Super Hornet, Tomcat, Intruder, Viking, Greyhound, etc), and the IFOLS is set accordingly by the ship's crew so that the pilot can fly the correct path for their aircraft and not be too high or too low on the glide slope and ideally catch the #3 wire.

Currently, the IFOLS in DCS is only set for the Hornet, and does not adjust if your trying to land the Tomcat. The current workaround for the Tomcat is to fly the ball higher than the datum and ignore most of the LSO calls as the Tomcat landing speed is different than the Hornet.

Thanks! I got it. I remembered that's truly what I felt last time I use it. Hope it could be fixed.
