GOONIE:
Micro,

I noticed the WOD at 12 knots which may have resulted in the LUL marks following the SHB. I think if you increase the ship speed or wind to get a WOD value > 22 knots it may help with the compression following the break.

Paddles, a got a "Fair" on that pass. If you're able to work the SHB into your code that be pretty sweet, but your program is already unbelievably good. That's why I didn't even bring it up.

Johan, no particular radius is used. As a general rule of thumb, Naval aviators pull 10% of their indicated airspeed in G's. So, to do it perfectly, at 500kts I should initially pull 5g. Then, as speed decreases so should the G's until you're on-speed. But, you just have to practice it a gauge it for yourself.

Goonie, yeah I had the ship moving a little slow because I had been working the normal pattern. I've found that 12kts wod usually gives me a good groove time. Then I came in for the SHB and it did end up putting me in a bit tight.

micro:
I stepped it up a notch, kicked the break speed up, and threw in a pitching deck. This time, I used the new FSXBA. Oddly, I got calls from the vLSO, but it didn't actually grade the pass. Not sure why.

SpazSinbad:
'micro' You had me laughing at that last SHB. I'm enjoying your videos but I think 'why you were not graded' by vLSO was the 'red ball' over the ramp? Anyway that is all by the by eh.  ;D

For me would you mind outlining the sort of equipment you have for your videos please. The quality is excellent - thanks for posting them.

Orion:
Nice to see the pitching deck in use. :)  How did you find flying with the FSXBA Hornet fly-by-wire FCS?
