:o That's simply awesome, Mr. "neutrino" 8) Now when are you all ready to release these changes? ???
I'm still putting the entire NAVAL Package together... I waiting for several things from other dev.'s to be finished, first. And, with your permission, I would like to add this and all the other updates into one simple, easily-installable package.
Guys keep up these great enhancements/tests; your work is greatly appreciated ... ;)

j.r. thats fantastic work :o is this the secret project you have been working on that has been driving Orion nuts :)
Have to just comment that because of all the "neutrinoing" going on, not many people are aware of your piloting skills
which I have to say are right up there with paco and sludge!!! that pitching deck approach was really something !!

Simon, you hit that right on the numbers...
He is definately a very good FSX pilot. Top Gun movie love notwithstanding, his flight skills are definately top caliber. Im a tough Paddles, and I know he got at least two OK landings in my book. I remember one where I called "roger, ball" and had to say NOTHING til his jet caught the wire. He was in the center crosshairs ALL THE WAY down and if not for the last split-second low AtTheRamp correction, wouldve given an OK, UNDERLINED. Wouldve been a first in FSX carrier flight that I know of. Add to that he has a good imagination/ideas along with being a good programmer!
So JR, this was your super-secret "Id tell you but Id have to kill you" project you were working on?! haha... Great work!

Thanks for the kind words guys, but what you see in the video is still a work in progress. I did not expect such reactions, so I just posted it without description ::) My idea was to initiate some creative thinking about how to achieve the pitching carrier. It is possible to have the pitching deck in a mission, in fact what you see in the video is part of a mission based on micro's idea, but there are a couple of limitations one of which you may see clearly on the video. I made the video in Decemeber last year and kept it private hoping to be able to find some solution on my own, but I exhausted all methods that I know of and couldn't solve the problems. So I decided to declassify the video now ;D
Despite the limitations, the approach is very real - it is pretty challenging and catching the 3 wire as you can see is quite risky - so I made a lot of bolters and 4 wires before catching the 3rd 8)

I take it the limitation you are speaking about is the absence of a working meatball or have you managed to get that working?... also noticed you were flying without the ils needles did you turn them off for the approach , are they not working cos of the pitching deck or are you just using the old hud?
tell us or we will set analjet on you... ;D names witheld to protect the innocent.. ;) heheh
