The Pitching Deck Saga
micro:
That is what the guys at FS Developer say: build it into the model for best results. So if anyone knows a good modeler swing them by this thread and lets start to bribe them.

WOD 35 knots - Basic (glideslope) Angle 4 degrees = Effective Glideslope 3.2 degrees
WOD 30 knots - Basic 3.5 degrees = 2.8 degrees
*Based on a 130 Knot approach speed
Thinking about variables in a carrier landing can be fun! The damn thing is moving away and to the right all the time (unless it is stopped).

I couldn't see the graphic...but I guess it just goes to show you there is some sense to the way this all works out, as I was close in my numbers. Most noteably to do this to full accuracy you need to do area under the curve (i.e. integral calculus) and I love discussing this, but not enough to go back to calculus again ???

ES...., Log Tables? ;D

As it seems the Accel and Javiers Carriers are setup with a 4.0 GS Meatball, here's a question... how do we change the Meatball to 3.5 for both sets of Carriers? Since that seems to be the most common setting according to the NAV AV pubs. I for one would like to know HOW to change this value for myself, so I can tinker even more. Thanks.

SpazSinbad:
What is wind over deck? This is relevant to glideslope angle. Changing WOD is another way to change the effective GS angle.
