SpazSinbad:
neutrino, I don't have access to the sim at moment. At a reasonable landing weight when attempting to fly Optimum AoA the bracket is almost below, out of sight, any slight maneuvring puts it out of sight in my setup. I don't recall what the Optimum AoA angle was. Flying the airspeed at whatever the Opt AoA is at the time is not quite the same. I'm not talking about flying an air force approach but a Navy style Optimum AoA approach. At the time of BETA testing some discussion on this was at Dino's website.

SpazSinbad:
Another online website has an F-35C 'Carrier Approach' Simulator Video. Here

"Top gun trainer for F35 Lightning ii fighter jet and helmet

Maker of all things military, BAE Systems, has created the ultimate simulator for Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II, the next-gen stealth fighter that will be the RAF’s main weapon within the next decade and we were let into the defence inner circle for a closer look.

The sim uses six projectors to produce a panoramic 180-degree screen, helping pilots perfect such essentials as landing on a carrier deck in a storm, dog-fighting and nailing the ultimate loop.

We went along to the simulator’s base in Warton, Lancashire, for a test
drive. Watch the video to find out how we got on."

Awesome last video - thanks Spaz :)
