F-14 ACLS Bug (CMD CONTROL light up but no guidance is given)

[Wayno]

I have been trying to execute an ACLS landing in the F-14B and have followed procedures according to all instructions. The final step in the sequence is to press the NWS Button and upon the CMD CONTROL Light illuminating, the ACLS should guide the aircraft on localizer and glide slope to a landing. The bug seems to come in at this step as when the CMD CONTROL light illuminates, nothing seems to happen. I do not touch the stick and the aircraft seems to fly as if though I have not activates ACLS and just released the stick, continuing in the direction it was headed after my last control input. I asked others to try the ACLS landing and they have gotten the same result, no terminal ACLS guidance.

First of all you should use the forum search to check out, if your problem has been already discussed here. This thread may be related to your problem - the problem was caused by the user, so it was not a bug.

Then you should choose the correct forum for your problem. Due it seems to be a F-14-specific behaviour, the DCS: F-14A & B Bugs and Problems forum could be the first choice for your issue.

Last but not least read this thread to learn, how you should report a (suspected) bug of the F-14 and this thread which is valid for other DCS bugs. Every report needs at least a track file of the described behaviour. The track file helps others to exactly reproduce your behaviour. It also shows, if it was an user error rather than a bug.
