Here's my [insider] deck data for yor reference:
Height Angle Ship
----------------------------------------------------------------------
65.37' 8.496 CVN68 Nimitz (Javier's)
64.35' 9.193 CVN68 Nimitz (Acceleration)
65.77' 12.200 CVN65 Enterprise (team SDB)

61.29' 11.000 CV63 Kitty Hawk (Aerosoft)
SpazSinbad:
Paddles thanks for the deck height info. In your stats does 'angle' refer to the angle deck angle? I did not know ENTERPRISE had such a large angled deck. Must have been a chore to stay lined up on it. OUR A4G pilots from VF-805 cross decked with ENTERPRISE back in the dreamtime off Queensland coast during an exercise. They said it was like landing on a runway! ::) But I bet they had to work on their lineup when MELBOURNE had only a 5.5 degree angled deck. ;D
Nice story about fighting the burble on ENTERPRISE here (so that would be another new thing for our intrepid A4G pilots because our burble was minimal):

Paddles,
With the new vLSO 0.8.2.3, I keep getting CASE III calls, but it is a clear CASE I day flight ???
This is impacting my ability to try out the SHB ;)
Any ideas?
Jorik:
Same problem with the Case III, I'm using active sky next. Another problem that I noticed. I get TCA to close abeam all the time using the VRS Fa18 and tacpack javier Nimitz. Even when I'm next to the carrier with tacan reading 1.4

IS not the Internet Grand?! Go here to get the values of a right angled triangle when two inputs are known (in my case 6 degree glideslope and 200 feet vertical height):
