New vLSO (Christmas edition) - EDIT

<< < (12/12)

Paddles:
Guys,
Yes, a 4-wire trap does cause a slight down-grade by the vLSO. Only a 3-wire is a pass for an Ok  ;)
You're definitely right when talking about different hook-to-eye distances. Both planes discussed here, the Goshawk and the Hornet, have different sizes and different geometry, thus different distances from the pilot's point of view to the tailhook's point, which 'grabs' virtual arresting wires. I agree with syn that FSX FLOLS is optimized for the Hornet. And we can do nothing about that.

But there IS a solution. The only [known to me] FLOLS, which takes into account aircraft's geometry, is the RFN gauge. And once mastered it, you can get consistent 3-wires with any airplane. The gauge also allows to adjust the glideslope angle... Of course, the upcomng vLSO will fully support the RFN gauge  8)
