DCS: Supercarrier and Hornet | Automatic Carrier Landing System

Coming Soon DCS: Supercarrier required. Download DCS: F/A-18C Hornet from: Earlier Case III video: In this DCS: F/A-18C instruction video, we’ll review operation of the Automatic Carrier Landing System (ACLS) and associated Link-4 datalink system that allows two-way communication between the carrier and aircraft. ACLS provides guidance to the Marshal Stack, the carrier, and three different levels of landing assist. Mode 1 provides hands-off recovery, Mode 1A allows manual landing with ACLS HUD and Link-4 indications, and Mode 2 allows manual control with just “tadpole” guidance. ACLS is only available for Case III recovery operations.
