vLSO Beta release
Tregarth:
I found this USN training film about LSO's. The quality is not that good, it's in black and white and I guess from the aircraft dates from Vietnam but worth a look.
Interestingly it says the glide slope is 4deg

Hope vLSO will support this new carrier when released!

Well, the upcoming beta is 90% ready. Now flying my trusty Bug, doing some final tests and code corrections... Just a couple of screengrabs for your information.
Yes, the 3.5 FLOLS is a whole different story, to me at least ;) With manual ball I get shorter grooves, even NESA sometimes. Here's a debrief of one of such passes.
SpazSinbad:
Thanks 'Tregarth' - as they say in my part of the world 'brilliant, beauty, bottler'. ;D Great video to explain the LSO and all that entails both good and bad.
With the WOD at 30 knots, as also described in the video, with the 4 degree glideslope, then these details will be generalisations most likely. Higher WOD decreases the glideslope in effect (as a generalisation) and as described (probably in this thread & elsewhere on this forum) there is a factor of 'too much WOD' which will increase Rate of Descent at touchdown and other things. So there is an ideal WOD for each aircraft these days (not that many aircraft now though).
GOONIE:
Nice to hear the next beta is coming! Looking forward to it Paddles.

Hey paddles.
Thank you for your great work for the community.
I am eagerly waiting for the KittyHawk and the to-be-released Lemoore compatibility.
Do you plan to add MileHighSim Miramar compatibility in an upcoming version ?
Thank you ;)
