im stabilized exatcly at 134kts, and my AOA is correct according to the indicator. BUT the glideslope says im too low. then he says im in the right place. then he says im too high! then i missed the cables!!! but im stabilized at 134kts and my aoa is ok!
wtf?!?! these thingies arent working or what

Unfortunately I think the LSO is scripted which is why it does that BTW just do it seat of the pants you can't go wrong. Does anyone know if the LSO can be activated in normal free flight or online flying or does it require mission script? And does the carrier have ATC and if so whats the freqs?

actually i was talking about the meatball, not the LSO, lol
and yea, i would like to know if it is possible to activate the lso and carrier atc, or ILS, w/e, in free flight
thanks

The LSO isn't "scripted", but his verbage is limited. I have found him to be pretty accurate though. If you fly a good approach you should never hear him after "call the ball". Not to beat the horse, but if you fly the ball and are on speed, you'll be good. Also, he is only there during the missions.

what i was trying to say is that i was flying the ball and the glideslope @ 134kts but i always missed the cables, but nevermind, i had 0lbs of fuel with unlimited fuel on... 20% fuel made a big difference
and btw, now i know you cant find him on free flight, but i still dont know if theres a way to activate the ILS for the carrier... i was watching that video with the real hornet landing, pilot POV, and his hud appear to have some indicator for the runway and the altitude i think.. not sure tho

Hmm, not sure why you missed. As far as the ILS carrier, no dice. Because the carriers are intended to move, putting an ILS on them would be tough. What you saw on the hud were the Instrument Carrier Landing System (ICLS) needles. They work just like a regular ILS. You use them until you get the ball in sight and then transfer to it. But again, it's gong to be awhile before we get an ICLS in Flight Simulator.
