ACLS

[joojoo]

Hey to all, 

Any change to ACLS approach prodedure? I tried both Forrestal and Lincoln but my acls never engaged. I also noticed that I don't take the light information in order to engage ACLS, any idea?

Thanx

Link 4 tuned, gear down, flaps full, dlc engaged, auto pilot set?

hmm link 4 via Jester right? could u remember me about dlc?

[near_blind]

link 4 via Jester yes. DLC is Dynamic Lift Control. With your gear and flaps down you press the button on your stick that usually drops a flare, and that will engage DLC. DLC must be engaged for ACLS to capture.

ook since I have to fly the bird a few months I think that DLC is mandatory for ACLS after a recent update right?

I don't use ACLS, I don't know how long ago it was necessary, but I know the NATOPs is pretty clear that it needs to be engaged for ACLS to work.

Actually, it being a hard pre-requisite is currently slightly wrong. It is SOP for it to be engaged, but not really required for the RL ACLS. We will change this in the next patch - or maybe not, because with the limitations of DCS, it is possible that we need to keep it to help the ACLS a bit.

Either way, it should be on 100%, so whether we keep it or not, everyone should make it best practice to engage DLC on any recovery anyways.
