For trent, (the original thread wanders all over the place - so I wandered here)  ;D

Further to the 'smooth' flying comments. Everything is relative and I suspect 'smooth' as used in these comments by VX squadron Hornet pilots when testing new IFLOLS (and comparing it to the old FLOLS system) these are their comments in a summary (about new accuracy of IFLOLS etc.) about 'how to fly' IFLOLS (with many extra smaller cells showing glideslope):

"Lessons (Re)Learned
• Meatball / Line-up / AOA scan hasn’t changed
– Ball deviations will seem to be larger and happen faster
• Smoother corrections to highs work best to ‘stairstep’
the ball down to center
• Don’t lead a low ball; expect to move it up past
the datums, then work it down
• Never re-center a high ball in close
• With the ball stabilized at the top of the lens, the
aircraft should still trap (like FLOLS)"

That last comment would apply to being in relation to second last comment. I'm hoping it is clear that the pilots speak about detail they see, probably detail we have no hope of seeing in FSX, yet we strive to do the best at all times, given the limitations discussed in the other thread.

A FREE 2GB PDF about "How to Deck Land" (amongst other things) has been uploaded today to:

www.a4ghistory.com  Best to go there to look at the readme top of page and to 'right click' or use a file manager to download the PDF. The PDF is a collection of material already in the 4.4GB PDF about the A4G Skyhawk etc. so as such the 2GB PDF collection of excerpts is not a coherent 'read from start to finish' instructional PDF but there is enough information in it to bamboozle anyone - including me.  ;D  There are extra videos included that are not in the main 4.4GB PDF due to file size limitations. Enjoy. Quiz tomorrow 0800 sharp.   ::)  8) :D

FileName is: "How_Deck_Land_Excerpts+29sep2010.pdf" (top of page - 2GB)

{EDIT} Apologies for not including this download advice (on the page in further detail if scrolled): "Please use a download manager or 'right mouse click' on the download URL below to "Save target as" to your computer. As indicated further down the page all these PDFs must be viewed on Windows XP SP2 or above computers using the latest Adobe Reader 9.3.4 or better (when available). MAC users will have varying results with these PDFs I'm told (but I don't have a MAC because they are ...)."  ;D

If users just 'left mouse click' on the download URL at top of page it is likely the download will fail at some point and if the latest version of Adobe Reader is not used then there are likely to be issues with viewing the PDF. Adobe Reader will be updated again soon (within a few days) due to security issues I'm told.

Spaz...

Clicked on the link and it says something like "the file is damaged and cannot be repaired."  Disregard... I read it all and I'm running on a computer with WinXP, SP3.  Sorry for the boneheadedness.

Thanks for the other stuff though, good CV candy for us carrier pattern lovers.

Later

Sludge, Probably there needs to be a reminder (there are a bunch further down the page if you scroll) that the file URL should not be 'left clicked' but right clicked for a 'Save As' or use a File Manager for download. Adobe Reader is not good for downloading any large files from any site usually, especially this one. I'll put a reminder about this there now.

Please try again to let me know if you have success. I can download the file by 'right clicking' etc.

Also I'll remind users that only Adobe Reader 9.3.4 can be used to view the PDF. Win XP users must have the latest Service Pack 2 or higher plus Windows Media Player 10 or higher including the Flash plugin (all detailed on the page if scrolled). It is likely the left mouse click on the URL method will get a quick complaint if Adobe Reader is not up to date I guess?
