vLSO Beta release
Paddles:
K6952,
Thanks for your detailed input!
-For some reason, it won't work when configured to autostart with FSX.
How do you autostart the vLSO? In a .CMD file or what?
-The abeam fix seems to be incorrect. Altitude should be 600'.
Right now the abeam altitude is limited by 800'. I agree that this is probably incorrect, but what the upper margin should be? 650' or even more? And, what should be the vLSO's reaction when you fly above that level?..
-There seems to be some discrepancy between the trap record and the carrier itself. Occasionally it will record bolters as traps and some traps aren't given wire numbers.
Yes, I know. I'm still working on this issue.
-As mentioned repeatedly above, the groove length is too long. The clock shouldn't start until the aircraft is wings-level in the groove.
In the beta 0.3 the timer will start as soon as your aircraft is wings level, i.e. bank angle is less than 5 degrees.
-More of the parameter data should be directly editable in the .ini file if possible.
No problem, what parameters?
-We'd like to see it wave-off a bad lineup if possible.
Surely will be done.
-Multiple skill levels on the profile so newbies won't get frustrated by constant waveoffs and give up.
I like this idea. The .INI file parameters are there already :) One could keep three or more copies of .INI files with various locus settings and change them at one's own discretion.

Yes, I did.. An OK is already there, but temporarily disabled... ;) As for the hot break, I think it's possible, but I'll have to figure out how to do that.

I didn't realise I was always pulling to the left on my landings. ::)
Cracking program - absolutely superb and a great help!
Thanks very much.
:D

Subs,
Thanks for the reminder. I mentioned that in the other forum, maybe not this one. That does appear to be my problem. I depart Oceana NAS to meet Javier's carrier, but vLSO doesn't work. I fly a few miles up the cost to Norfolk ship yard and see the Microsoft carrier coming into port. I do an approach to the Microsoft carrier and vLSO suddenly works.
Serge,
I notice on the landing log page, in the date column, the letter N or D after the date. Does that mean DAY trap or NIGHT trap? If so, then I've got another problem. The traps that I made using the vLSO mission all have an N after the date, even though they were all flown during the day time. The traps that I've flown usinf free flight mode, all have a D after the date, and all were flown during the day time.
What I'll do is continue testing, varying time of day, and see what haapens. I'll also do some flights, changing my departure airfield.

Yes, these letters mean Day and Night. There are three times in FSX - day, night and dusk/dawn. You can play with your calendar [in free flight] and see how these times change. Another good example are runway lights, which FSX turns on when it decides that the day time is over. The dusk/dawn was my big concern, because it's hard to programmatically determine when it becomes really dark, so I've decided that the program would consider dusk/dawn periods as night, too. Yes, sometimes you'd say that early dusk or late dawn do look like day.
