IFLOLS Not on and Carrier (USS Washington) not transitioning to recovery mode

[Bonz]

I set up a mission with Statics on the deck including personnel, aircraft, and equipment. I then added some AI. A Helo on the Bow, an E-2D on CAT 1, and an S-3 Tanker on CAT 2. I also included five sections of F-18s. I sequenced the launch so that the three support aircraft on the Bow launched first (Helo then E-2 then S-3) and then the 10 F-18s started up by section 20 seconds apart and taxied to the various CATs for launch. After a few iterations I got it so that the first F-18 Launched right on my event cycle time. All good so far. The problem is that when I attempted to land... after "reading the deck" from low holding. When I rolled into the grove the IFLOLS wasn't on. Even though the deck was reporting CLEAR and all AI aircraft had departed. It's worth noting that deck crew were still in the launch mode. I then added one additional trigger in an attempt to turn the IFLOLS on. I created a small circular moving zone around the carrier and listed all ten F-18s as units leaving the moving zone. Once the last F-18 left the zone the Carrier Lights would change to Recovery. It worked for about 1 second. As the last F-18 departed leaving the zone the IFLOLs datum lights briefly flickered on then off. As I understand it, the IFLOLS works but the carrier did not transition to Recovery mode. even though all AI aircraft had launched and the deck was reporting "CLEAR". Also of note, the static F-18s on the deck (not the 10 F-18 AIs) were placed using Dynamic Decks and as the launch progressed, the six F-18s on the Fantail "moved" using triggers to Elevators 4, 3, and 2. They did this after AI F-18s had moved off those spots. Actually the triggers removed that fantail aircraft and added three sets of F-18s on the three elevators. Can anyone tell me why the ship failed to transition to Recovery Mode? The Client F-18 attempting the land had checked in on button 1 with "Inbound" and the deck was reporting CLEAR on the LSO panel.
