Chewmann Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) I follow this (see attachment) almost to the letter (info from Wag's video) and no matter what I do, I do not get CPL P/R... I get CPL HDG. I hit button 5 on the UFC over and over again to see if it will properly engage... never. Any suggestions? The good thing is, I am getting really good at landing manually at night.

Were there the other flights (human-controlled or AI) that attempted to land on the carrier around the time of your recovery? If yes, then you've encountered the very well-known CPLD P/R bug. 1 1 Dima | My DCS uploads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foka Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) It's known issue from the start for ACLS. ED still is considering if it is a bug, or just ignore it. Edited February 25, 2023 by Foka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewmann Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 Thanks guys. Yes, I was flying with my buddy. It makes me feel better in that it confirms I somewhat know what I’m doing. I’ll try it by myself later just to confirm it’s the bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F18mech Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 That's not correct. We flew the last one where you attempted case 3 landing while I sat on the boat following on the guide so we knew no steps were skipped... you were the only flier....

We flew the last one where you attempted case 3 landing while I sat on the boat following on the guide so we knew no steps were skipped... you were the only flier.... This is the most likely cause of this issue. I haven't watched the track replay, so it could be something else. 4 hours ago, Chewmann said: I’ll try it by myself later just to confirm it’s the bug. I'd suggest practicing this offline with the simplest mission possible: only you and the ship. The ACLS is not that complicated once you understand its cues and the order they appear on the Link 4 page during the approach. 1. Configure and enable ACLS before the "Inbound" call. Confirm the "ACL 1" status on the Link 4 page. If it's not there, then something (the boat and/or the on-board ACLS) is misconfigured. 2. Once reported "Established", confirm the "T/C" cue. 3. When the ATC says: "Final radar contact, 8 miles", confirm the "LND CHK" cue. 4. At 6 nm the ACL tadpole should appear on the HUD. Check the "ACL RDY" cue, and make sure the "T/C" cue is replaced with "MODE 1". Else you most certainly won't get the CPLD P/R option. 5. At 4 nm ATC says: "Approaching glidepath". Decouple the autopilot if it was coupled (use the paddle switch), then press UFC > A/P > CPL to couple ACL. This can be done as soon as the tadpole appears on the HUD. "ACLD RDY" cue is then replaced with "CMD CNT", and the "CPLD P/R" cue appears on the HUD. 2 Dima | My DCS uploads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's not the very simplest offline mission, but a working one for testing purposes (based on the SC template for Caucasus). Try this one @Chewmann: FA-18C SC ACLS3.miz Edited February 26, 2023 by AstonMartinDBS [Modules] A-10C, A-10C II, AH-64D, F-4E, F-14A/B, F-16C, F/A-18C, FC3, Ka-50, P-51D, UH-1H, CA, SC [Maps] PG, NTTR, Normandy, Sinai, Syria, TC [OS] Windows 11 Pro [PC] MSI Pro Z790-A, i9-13900K, 64 GB DDR5-5200, RTX 4090 24 GB GDDR6X, 2 x SSD 990 PRO 2 TB (M.2), Corsair 5000D Airflow, HX1500i, H150i RGB Elite, Acer X28, TM HOTAS Warthog (Grip@WarBRD Base), MS SW FFB2, Thrustmaster TFRP, TrackIR 5 & TrackClip Pro [Checklists] A-10C, F-16C, F/A-18C, AH-64D, Ka-50, UH-1H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewmann Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) @AstonMartinDBS tried it twice and got CPL P/R each time. Looks like the bug mentioned above. Good to know it isn’t me. LOL. Thanks for the help! Edited February 28, 2023 by Chewmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
