When I run vLSO on my network PC I get Simconnect green and FSX in red.
My ActiveSky is running perfectly.

AFAIK ActiveSky supports both local and network modes. vLSO works only in local mode, i.e. on the same PC where FSX is running. That's why it can't be connected to FSX running on other (network) PC.

The video of the T-28C’s doing CQ on the USS Kitty Hawk is copyrighted and the person I obtained this short 12 min. video is not responding to my e-mails as they now bounce. Yet, the copyright still remains valid, so not able to share.
Not much of the ship is visible with most all time pointing to the deck area which pretty much looks the same for any of this class of CV. There are two videos now available for sale at $20.00 plus shipping each of T-28C’s in CQ on the USS Antietam (CVS-36) and a Navy SOP training video on CQ in the T-28C done on the CVS-16 USS Lexington. Both are sold by Gary Schreffler of GRS Videos. The Antietam video he has for sale is at http://www.ebay.com/itm/USS-ANTIETAM-CVS-36-CIRCA-1958-/181581500173?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a4719cf0d and the T-28 Carrier Landing SOP is available at http://www.cv41.org/GRS/
CQ in a T-28C is “seat of the pants” flying in that there is no AOA and no HUD. It does have an ALA on the port wing leading edge that consists of a tri-colored prismatic lens over a single bulb. When at the proper airspeed an amber lens will be visible to the LSO. Otherwise shows green if too slow and red if too fast. Grove time is 12 sec. or less. Both videos do a good job of showing how different then is to now.
Thanks to Paddles and the Dev for Ants Airplanes FSX, I have the AOA for both 4.12 and 3.5 deg glide slopes and able to use Ants T-28C in vLSO.
SpazSinbad:
Thanks for the info about Trojans. Our A4Gs did not have APC Auto Power Control. Having looked at the TA-4F/J NATOPS it seems the J did not have APC either. Sorry about the poor quality but this clip says a lot: (funny nugget FNG comment at end) :-)

Many thanks, the clip does indeed say a lot.
