USN Carrier Pattern Video

[Tregarth]

Dear Orion,

Does this mean you can do it?  I really do hope so, this would be tremendous news.  If you post the file I will try it out for you.

Thank you,

Tregarth

[Orion]

No, not at all.  I have a general idea on how it could be done, but I have no technical knowledge on XML gauges or the real world FLOLS.

[Tregarth]

Orion, I suggest you have a look at

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php  (Sim Out House FSX Scenery)

Choctaw NOLF - KNFJ.  This seems to have a functioning "Ball"; could this help with the Nimitz/Hornet?  Does anyone have contact with Sylvain Parouty who designed the "Ball Trailer"?

Tregarth.

Ok, this is how I see this gauge. I thought the IFLOLS would be more precise than that default carrier's FLOLS...

Lights off


Lights on (waveoff lights will flash)


The ball


Images are at full size (360x118), perhaps I'll try to reduce dimensions a bit.

Tregarth, yes this new shore based FLOLS works very well. It can be embedded into a scenery (like NOLF Choctaw) or into a mission.

[Razgriz]

That looks outstanding.  Give it some transparency and it'll be great!  I love all the precision.

FSXNP...

Can you embed the pictures?  I cant see them, when Im on the computer at work.

To All...

Here ya go.  Another carrier landing video.  Enjoy.  Best to watch at 1080p or original (1920x1200) if able.

Later

Raz...

No can do.  Site restricted.  Can you just imbed them, like we do with most pics?

Thanks

[Orion]

I think Sludge wants them attached to the post.

Good Info about FLOLS & IFLOLS in this PDF (for Goshawk but still applicable):

https://www.cnatra.navy.mil/pubs/folder5/T45/P-1211.PDF (1.6Mb)

This USN website will ALWAYS give a 'web certificate' error in Internet Explorer which can be bypassed easily. If required I can add a 1Mb zip file of the PDF here (probably with some editing) - just let me know.

Attached is a modified Goshawk IFLOLs/FLOFs info edited PDF with other stuff that may be interesting.

Illustrations of FLOLS v IFLOLS differences in presentation attached (my colours) - ignore red cells - these are not seen if ball seen within safe parameters.

[Razgriz]

Here are the images.

[Paddles]

And one more. Work in progress

Serge...

Good job.  Thats just about right.  So what does GSE mean?  And is there a way to put Fuel State below the Meatball as well?

Thanks
Sludge
