Set SuperCarrier for Case III regardless of actual conditions

@PaulToo I’m a big AirBoss fan, but it will not activate the Hornet ACLS. The only way to do this is via the DCS comm system (or the VAIComm work around mentioned above).

Thanks for the the answer. Not what I was hoping for. Strange decision to tie the acls to the comms menu, I wonder how sqdn with human Marshal/LSO deal with that headache. Hopefully were will be a workaround for airboss in the future or ED makes the hornet's acls compatible with it.

You can push the CASE III conditions just changing the weather with the presets OVERCAST+ RAIN, also changing wind intensity etc,...would work fine to your pourposes, also you're going to practise almost "IRL" conditions where CASE III is aplied. I remind you those types of recovery are based in Visual Rules so you can perform a case II-III at 12 o'clock mid day if you can't see anything beyond your A/C nose.

It's realistic that pilot needs to set the aircraft and LSO sets the systems and data for him after the proper comms. Of course something is needed for the human operator to have that option in DCS. It may well be planned with the coming SC features.

@OLD CROW...don't need to go through any of that, especially for my intended purpose, NO inclement weather or variables that would be any distraction. No Wind, Rain, Sleet, Snow, Darkness, Locusts, Famine...just an almost unnoticeable dash of Fog did the trick. The only place you'll really notice it is on the deck looking out. Reminded me of a San Diego offshore morning

Then the answer  to your question to CASE III in RVR CAVOK conditions in nowadays DCS is NO cause is the SC ATC who dictates the recovery case depending of the weather forecast conditions, at least from what I know.

Which you can force a change of - if you're able to transmit the 'Established', 'Commencing', 'Platform' radio commands. As mentioned - Vaicom allows users to do this in CAVOK conditions - so unless it's a restricted API call (not sure whether VAICOM uses SDK commands or just open ones) - it should also be possible to add using a LUA script.

@OLD CROW....no, I think believe the predicate is a 'weather' related value, not just ATC. I started my MIZ with more serious Case III parameters then just whittled my way down by removing them piece by piece (darkness [time], rain, cloud formations, etc...) until it end as Case I. Then I noticed the Fog and started to play with that until I got it down to the present settings in my MIZ where it retained Case III.

@Dangerzone...I'm still curious how you are able to get the additional ATC commands, I'm not able to do that on VAICOM..what am I doing wrong, or did you add some commands.
