The Pitching Deck Saga
Sludge:
Fellas...
Since I read in Spaz's LSO NATOPS file that says the MOST COMMON basic angle used is 3.5, all I want is to find out how to alter it for MYSELF. I think Micro has said and illustrated it best with his posts and I want to know if anyone knows how to change it for the Carriers themselves. The 4.0 used in the new HUD and the default carrier meatball is only good for the 38+ WOD as per the above mentioned file. I would like to run 30 kts WOD w/a Meatball and ICLS GS of 3.5, can anybody help me? If not, just tell me so we can move on...
Thanks Neutrino. Hopefully you know, or we can find someone that knows how to mod the carrier for a 3.5 GS on the Meatball.

Sludge, currently I am not aware of any way to modify FLOLS glideslope angle, I am not even sure where does it come from (is it built into the model, is it a separate file etc), but I am looking into it because of the 'pitching deck' problem. So if I learn anything new, I'll post it here. I am sure Javier, or anyone else that has built a carrier knows the answer, but I don't want to bug them at the moment ;D

No worries. Thanks for the help! Youre always a real standup fella!

OK, fellas...
Back from testing and evaluation. Here are my results...
GlideSlope *3.5 (observed Y/T x 2) 4.0 (my fsx landings)
Dist/RAlt .7 TCN / 300' .7 TCN / 380'
.2 TCN / 120' .2 TCN / 150'
* est. due to lower than 4.0 readings from my results
Also, real life at the 90/1.2 TCN and 450', ICLS comes up on-glideslope. When flying FSX carrier patterns to approx the same specs, I am always below the glideslope at the 90.
IMO, this shows the carriers and ICLS are set to 4.0, and if anyone figures out how, would love to see 3.5 on both.
