vLSO Beta release
GOONIE:
Andi,
I saw your posts on VRS, and I feel your pain. I also noticed the change in vLSO grading, and how hard it is to get an pure OK these days. I think I posted some pics awhile back on this thread (good luck finding on 83 pages) and I will try to find some more recent approaches that mirror your experience to post. I have seen the same, basically solid passes (no comment), but still get (OK). I also had one pass that got a comment but got an OK. ???
Paddles knows I am not knocking vLSO, love the program for sure, but have experienced a steep change in the grading curve. Basically need to step my flying skills up a notch. ;)

Basically it is fine for me that getting an OK is now harder than in the previous versions - so I think "pain" is not the right word for this. As I said, I think that especially the OK-underlined was given too much in the previous versions.
But what I am wondering about is why I get a (OK) for a pass without any comments but an OK for a pass that has some comments and is definetely worse than the other (OK)-pass. But maybe Paddles can say a word about this - especially about the issue with the grove timer.
Paddles:
Andi,
Thanks for the heads-up. Looks like the problem is that vLSO takes the groove time into account even during Case3 recoveries (which is wrong). As I can see, your pass shown at the VRS forums was a Case3 with auto ball and 30kts of WOD. Given this pretty much strong wind and the approach distance with auto ball (~0.75nm) I can assume that the groove time was just a tiny bit above 19 sec, or (LIG). Having (LIG) the program always moves the grade one step down, i.e. in your case to a Fair grade. Could you send me your logbook with this pass for more detailed investigation?
BTW, are you having this grading issue during Case1/2?
AndiGelaendi:
Thanks for the confirmation - so it seems to be possible that the Groove-Timer is the reason for this behaviour. If there really is some kind of bug, then it would of course be helpful to get this solved. Otherwise an OK-pass at Case 3 would be nearly impossible which would lead to a large error in our squadron's greenieboard (and nobody would stay above 3 as long as we do a lot of Case 3 flying at night).
Actually my OK2 was at day-time but I will try a few more day and night passes to check whether this really is an issue only at Case 3.
I've sent you a PM with a link to my logbook - I would greatly appreciate if you could take a look to solve this issue (if it really is a bug).
AndiGelaendi:
Now I got the time to do some Case 1 passes and I got a lot of OKs. So I am quite sure now, that this is only a Case 3 bug and not a training-issue.
I got also some 1-wire-passes with an OK although I thought that 1-wire and 4-wire are always bad. So is this a realistic behaviour that you can get an OK for a 1- or 4-wire-pass?
