vLSO Alpha Release
Paddles:
Mike,
That's right. To prove that I'll post another series of screengrabs. So far this is my best attempt of making FLOLS and vLSO coaxial... As you can see, they match pretty well - glideslope errors are within 0.3 degree margin, which is Ok. At the start the error was just +0.08 which could be explained by my eyes (in)accuracy, and over the ramp it was still under 0.3... I think such an approach could be graded as an OK pass, eh?.. 8)

Serge,
Looks like you have fixed time in groove? Also noticed your Glideslope is red all the way down which means you were a little fast all the way down, correct? Was this the only way to get such a consistent glideslope or am I reading this wrong?
Thanks for this amazing add on ,it has given new life to carrier ops....really miss the sessions with Sludge, Paco, Orion, Ben,Neutrino, Don and the rest of the SF multiplayer sessions crew.

Totally agree Sonofabeech. Maybe with fall and winter coming we can start the MP session again. Also the vLSO is planned to have an export feature for a virtual Greenie Board, which will be nice competition among the virtual flyers ;)

Right on. Get some good landing competition going, then see who can bring their vLSO grades to the HARDKNOCKS world of multiplayer grading. Cant wait to get some sessions up and running with the old crew, just like Simon was talking about...

Music to my ears. Cant wait to mess around with the newest version. Also, are you gonna have "launch/activations zones" for the other cats as well? So we can do launches from CATS 1/2 while doing sustained carrier patterns. Its my opinion that the boat was "stopping" cause the Hornets werent starting and using CAT 4. Hopefully, we can get this fixed, so we can CAT anywhere and the boat will keep going...

You should NEVER fly a pass using ICLS unless Case III (night, bad weather) and thats still getting you to the ball... otherwise you'll just be chasing the needle all the way down. In FSX, since we control the environment and are using a Case I (day, VFR, full pattern landings) for the vLSO, I would say ONLY use the ICLS glideslope needle to judge your 90 position and 45 position doing the pattern, looking for g/s needle on-glide make adjustments to get on-glide at both. Then, past the 45 (crossing the wake) and continuing left turn to final bearing, transition to using the FLOLS as soon as possible, even before the Ball Call.
