dakota558 Posted September 27, 2022 Posted September 27, 2022 Done 6 missions so far and enjoy it so far. Just got a quick question: Is ACLS supposed to work here? Tried it in mission 6 and also in previous mission with case 3 and in both cases I'm not able to get coupled (it will say CPL HDG. not CPL P/R when I engage). Not a big deal, it does give me a change to practice my carrier landings which still needs a bit of practice...

Just checked the mission and I have set up Link 4 to 336.00 and also activated ACLS so should work. To be honest, I never use the ACLS system and assumed it was working as it has been set in the script and nobody has raised it to date. I will have a look into it. Is it the same for all the missions?

dakota558 Posted September 28, 2022 Author Posted September 28, 2022 I've only tried it in missions with case 3. Mission 6, and I believe mission 5. I'm attempting mission 7 now which also have a case 3. Will report back once I get those mavericks to lock on and I can get back to the ship...

Hi Have been checking, I think it may be a DCS bug, you may have to do without it. Done some research, apparently, it may not work when added to an existing mission, which it had to be as ACLS was not out when ROPL was made. By all means let ED know of the bug on the forum. Regarding mission 7 and getting lock, have a look at my video on just that.

dakota558 Posted September 28, 2022 Author Posted September 28, 2022 Just completed mission 7 and can confirm ACLS works there.

The problem is, if there is more than one F18 group in the air at the time of you wanting to trap. In this mission there is no other group airborne when you land. 1 F/A-18C Campaigns : The Serpent’s Head / The Serpent’s Head 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I9 9900K @ 5.0Ghz / Gigabyte 2080ti water force extreme / 32 Gb RAM Corsair Dominator Platinum 3600 / 2Tb Samsung 970 Evoplus NVMe M.2 / Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas / Thrustmaster Pedals / Valve Index.
dakota558 Posted September 28, 2022 Author Posted September 28, 2022 Ok, got it. Just another ED bug then... But again, thanks for the campaign! 1

finnish3r Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 Just finished the campaign and I can confirm that I wasn't able to use ACLS successfully in at least any of the CASE III missions. ACLS seems to work just fine, Mode 1, tadpole and CPL P&R all come on just as they should, but in the groove the jet drifts away from the centerline. Could this be related to the wake turbulence issue reported preventing successful ACLS coupled landing on the Hornet? I have wake turbulence off in DCS settings, but at least I got wake turbulence from the tanker. Is it forced on in the campaign?

Badger633 Posted May 13, 2024 Posted May 13, 2024 Thanks @rosty I will have to look into it. I know it is set up correctly for ACLS in the missions. I will see if it’s the wake turbulence that is causing it, which it shouldn’t. On this campaign I have turbulence enforced. This was before it was impacting ACLS for some reason. I never use ACLS myself , just change my shorts after I land I will look into it maybe stop the enforce turbulence in this campaign to resolve this. In my new campaign Operation Green Line, which follows on from Rise of the Persian Lion 2, I have not enforced turbulence for this and another reason. Thanks for the reminder.

Roosterfeet Posted May 13, 2024 Posted May 13, 2024 I've been reflying RotPL 1 and 2 lately and I've also noticed weird aerodynamic behavior when crossing the ramp that people attribute to wake turbulence enabled. Glad to hear you're not enforcing it in the new campaign. Landing grades aside, I'm really enjoying a second run through of these campaigns. Great work. 5800x3D, rtx4070, Quest3 (sometimes)
Badger633 Posted May 13, 2024 Posted May 13, 2024 Hi @Roosterfeet Glad you enjoyed them, that’s what it’s all about. I will remove enforce turbulence from the campaigns and give the choice. Won’t be able to do it for the upcoming update though it will have to be the next. 1 F/A-18C Campaigns : The Serpent’s Head / The Serpent’s Head 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I9 9900K @ 5.0Ghz / Gigabyte 2080ti water force extreme / 32 Gb RAM Corsair Dominator Platinum 3600 / 2Tb Samsung 970 Evoplus NVMe M.2 / Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas / Thrustmaster Pedals / Valve Index.
