Hi, I've been trying to repair my Hornet when I have bad landings on the carrier. When I try to request repair from the menu, it keeps saying "unable to comply." I tried this with engines on, and with engines off. Is this a known issue?

If using new deck crew you probably have to park correctly and use the new menu that'll pop up.

Came here to report this- you cana't repair any damage when landing on carriers- or refuel-

Now, the new system is supposed to have you follow their prompts and get guided to the back where you get auto placed in a location and then offered the chance to rearm - but you'll NEVER get that far -

I've done a few landings where my landing gear was damaged and NWS DID not work. And i DID use individual wheel braking and thrust from only one of the two engines to turn- you DO NOT turn enough to follow their prompts. Oh, and it turned out my wing folding DIDNT work when they asked, so i could not progress in the steps to get auto placed by the deck crew.

On a  airfield this is not a problem, yon can still trigge ra repair

@draconus - you can't park correctly if too damaged, formerly you could just turn off the engines and then have them repair you\

@razo+r No , it does not work even when the plane is fully off after landing on a carrier, was unable to refuel, ream or repair - and i was too damaged to use NWS, it wasn't working

You have a key combo to teleport to parking in those cases. F-18C - Supercarrier section

I do not- did not realize until now mission editor stuff isnt auto saved and you have to manually save it

Spent way too long looking for this keyboard combo in the guide  and not realizing I have the 2021 copy of the Supercarrier guide- DOH
Thank you, found it!

DCS [Supercarrier Operations Guide]

IMPORTANT:
In case of aircraft damage or other emergencies, an automatic method to move the aircraft to a parking
spot is available. To use this, you must stop, lower the tail hook, fold the wing, and set the throttle to
idle or turn off the engine. Then, by pressing
[LCtrl+LShift+LAlt+T], the aircraft will be moved to the
assigned parking spot and turned into the parking position. Automatic movement to parking is available
at any time during the taxi to parking.
Upon arrival at the parking spot, the player can access a game menu to request repairs, refueling, rearming,
and request launch. The parking menu can be invoked by pressing [LCtrl+LShift+LAlt+Р] and is only available
when in the assigned parking spot.""

The only funny thing i just realized - - i was not able to fold my wings, so if the combo really doesnt work until you fold your wings, then the keyboard combo won't save someone heavily damaged and allow them to start the repair process

The teleportation only works when you are stopped and the wings are folded. So if you can't fold your wings, you can't teleport. This is also annoying for T-45C users, as the game demands you fold the wings, which you can't.. 🤦‍♂️

Thanks for this bro, I googled into my problem just last night, found this, and tried it out. I did not know it's a new procedure for repairs now. At least, I think it is.
