Hey Fellas....
Glad to be back from Hawaii, even tho Im burnt to a crisp from playing too much golf, it was a great time. Even met a F-18 and KC-135 pilot that we were paired with on Monday's round. Traded some LSO grades of Hawaiian Airlines and Falcon Jets as we were on the back nine and they were landing on 8R. He was pretty impressed with ol' Sludge's grades, so coming from a RL LSO, that was cool. Made the course play alot more fun.
Anyway, if I get a vote here, I would say #3 w/2 cut lights on each side. I like the full lights w/the shortened datum light assy.
Also, Serge... looking at CV and LSO NATOPS, I would say do a 3-second steady cut lights at .7 NM, split the difference of .6 and .8 NM. Additionally, if you can add this... if aircraft is trending low and gets 2 balls low, give steady 1-second cut lights (add a little power). At 4 balls low, steady 2-sec cut lights (POWER!!). After that, if he gets to the last red ball, he gets the dreaded red waveoff lights. Looking to be another great add-on from FSXNP Inc.
Thanks

Sludge,
welcome back! ;D Ok, I'll see what can I do with the IFLOLS gauge...
Sludge:
Fellas...
Just made a few youtube videos showing the IFLOLS gauge in the middle of the VC screen. This was the best way I found to use the gauge and obviously these are not my best landings.
Enjoy.
Establishing on the downwind, the Abeam position, then the turn.
Short final test (.4), using the IFLOLS gauge in the center of the VC.
Overshot the turn and had to work back to centerline and get on glideslope.
A little too tight on the final bearing turn. Had to work back to the right, then get on glideslope.
Might work for some, but overall, its difficult to focus on the lineup and then refocus on the Ball. I used mostly a "peripheral" technique and only looking at the Ball in my lower peripheral vision while flying lineup and indexer on the way down.
Later
