lhsmithnet1 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 ACLS brings you too low on ball and touches down too late 9/10 of the time. This makes for an interesting experience when bolting in case III conditions. ACLS used to be fine, but it's unreliable as hell now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcrusty Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 ACLS brings you too low on ball and touches down too late 9/10 of the time. This makes for an interesting experience when bolting in case III conditions. ACLS used to be fine, but it's unreliable as hell now. I agree. It's slightly different when compared to RL vids. Of course ICLS is not supposed to be used all the way to the deck but still... In this clip from Hornet Vids you can see when in close, the ICLS is roughly corresponding to ball movement. It shows 'below' when the jet was about to slam on the deck: Here's mine:P I was on rails all the way to the deck. Pitched 4 wire, probably because I 'floated' or shoved the throttles forward a bit too early. The ball didn't show high for some reason. You can see the ICLS is showing me high, which means it's different from RL vid. above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razor18 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) Does ICLS work now w/ full flaps too? Some months ago Grim Reaper said in his YT video ICLS only works in "half flap" yet. Edited December 21, 2020 by Razor18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stearmandriver Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 ICLS has worked with full flaps since day one. Dunno why aircraft config would make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor18 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Sorry, what I meant was Auto Throttle Controll in Approach mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stearmandriver Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Ah, don't know about that, I've never tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxxyTrotty Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 There is zero point auto throttling the f18 for approach because trimmed for approach when dirty config you are controlling the rate of descent with the throttle, and not the stick. The FCS trims so perfectly for AoA (instead of 1g once gear is down) you can fly the f18 using nothing more than 2 throttles if you want - but regardless of that, if you auto throttle it, your gonna create thrust induced ossilations. This is very different than say f14 that doesn't have a FBW doing this. . . . . . . . Every module/ map except the dual winged joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stearmandriver Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 There is an approach mode of the autothrottle system on the F/A-18, at least on the E / F models, but I think on the legacy as well. It will attempt to maintain on AoA with power while the pilot controls glideslope with stick. Autothrottles enter this mode if engaged while configured for landing. I do not know if DCS models this at all. I've never tried it simply because it sounds less fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
