carcinomic Posted May 30, 2022 Posted May 30, 2022 Hey, so... From what I'd heard they're redoing the tomcat ACLS/landing through redoing the autopilot entirely... I can't even get AP CPLR to show up anymore. This being said I keep trying with the hornet. I usually get UTM fail. Pretty well versed in ME but this is acting very strangely, sometimes I can get ACL 1, sometimes it's UTM fail, ofc made sure to establish TACAN, Link 4, ICLS, and ACLS, everything put in correspondingly. But sometimes I can't even lock a TACAN signal in the Hornet? It's usually really straightforward... But yeah since whatever update-- any plane with automatic carrier landing hasn't been able to do so. I understand this is probably complicated as all and I might just be better off waiting for the next OB update, just wanted to feel out how many others are seeing the same thing. Rig for reference: i7-8700, 32GB DDR4, M.2 NVMe SSD, Oculus Rift, GTX1080Ti.
carcinomic Posted May 31, 2022 Author Posted May 31, 2022 Ah, that's a bummer for me then. I seem to have everything set up, also have supercarrier... I hear ACLS lock on 6 miles out, fly mode 2, on AoA, glideslope, autothrottle, doing all radio comms. Autopilot is on, acl switch is back, TACAN, ICLS, ACLS and link 4 set up for carrier. landing chk lights up, ACL ready, AP/REF. but I never once see AP/CPLR at 3 miles out like I used to. following Chuck's guide to the T. what changed? I even have an old youtube video of it working so I'm really not sure.

It makes me almost angry how long I've been trying to figure this out and missed something so obvious, THANK YOU. Per the version of Chuck's guide I had for ACLS, DLC deployment wasn't part of the steps listed, and it had worked prior to update-- but it was the ONE thing I was missing to not see AP CPLR after the update was implemented. Just tested it out and had a nice facepalm, but at least managed a decent 2 wire while enjoying my coffee. Cheers!
