You got it SpazSinbad, I've got all the LRLS greens lit constantly, whether I'm way off centreline or not.
SpazSinbad:
Dave, I think you have a misunderstanding about the IFLOLS you see as shown in your screengrab. It is showing the IFLOLS on the ship with the green datum lights as a gauge in the FSX Hornet cockpit (an added function of the SLUDGE modified Hornet). These IFLOLS green datum lights do not vary. As described in the article online mentioned above the LRLS is a different system of lights on the back end of the carrier. Below is a diagram with precision approach aids located showing LRLS. Perhaps the LRLS function could be modelled on the 'gauge IFLOLS' in FSX but the IFLOLS does not work like that in practice. IFLOLS shows glideslope with the orange meatball in relation to the green datum lights which do not vary.
Below also is an LRLS diagram (looking down from above) from this website:

Thanks for all the hard leg work for the answer. You are correct. The IFLOLS gauge only shows what the IFLOLS does, visual glideslope feedback for the pilot. But good info. pulls on the LRLS system
Dave...
Now maybe sometime down the line, Serge could make a "lineup" visual add-on (LRLS) that would be just below the IFLOLS gauge? Just depends on how many people want it and if Serge wants to make it.
Dan...
I have a modified UFC panel (LCD font on LEFT SIDE). PM me if you want to install it. It actually looks really good and I use it now on all my Hornets.
Everyone...
I may put the new UFC and IFLOLS gauge that Serge just made out on FSDT for everyone to install? Or just wait til the Sludge v1.3? Give me some feedback, if you want the new UFC (updated panel look) and IFLOLS (better, higher res pictures) put out here with instructions.
Later

Sludge,
If this "new UFC" and "IFOLS gauge" is different from what you have provided along with v1.2, could I have it too, please.
Sludge:
From the response I'm already getting, it looks like I'll end up putting both gauges out on this thread along with a small instruction blurb.
I'll work on getting the OK from Serge, and once I do, I'll get them out to everyone.
Later
