vLSO Beta release
GOONIE:
I don't have any "tank" calls, but maybe your automated voice used for "99 CASE One recover..." could work. I'll email you some bingo .wav files.
Thinking it would be a nice feature as fuel status is one of the most important things during recoveries, used for trap settings, tanking, and bingo/divert.
If you are able to add a feature in the GUI for bingo and fuel states, maybe it is possible to add a MODEX.
For example MODEX: 100 Tank: 3.8 Bingo: 2.7, and vLSO would call via the automated voice "100 your signal is Tank". Not sure what you are using to generate the automated CASE calls, but I assume it can call numbers (e.g. 100, 204).
I'll also grab some more ACMI files and send your way for the SHB.
Paddles:
Do you suggest using a separate GUI parameter for modex?
I guess the most suitable AC parameter would be the flight number (the atc_flight_number parameter in the aircraft.cfg file). And the only problem here is the mix of letters and numbers, because in FSX there are no strict requirements for using this parameter (at least I know none of them). Something like 'DS101' is not uncommon...
Easy solution - the program could strip all letters out of the flight number and use the remainder as modex, i.e 'DS101' -> '101' (one zero one). Will that do?
And how/when vLSO should remind the pilot of his tank/bingo state? When the fuel state is equal to tank/bingo settings?
GOONIE:
Using the AC parameter works as well to identify modex.
I think vLSO would monitor fuel state and give the tank or bingo call when fuel reached the set level via the vLSO GUI. I think it should only make the audio call once, since it would be annoying to keep hearing the call "100 your signal is tank" during the AAR process. Once your fuel state goes above tank level, it could reset the trigger for the call.
Seems that this feature would integrate well with vLSO since it already deals with tankers. Also if folks don't want this feature, they could just set the tank and bingo levels to 0.0.
Paddles:
Got it

I am getting the following error, multiple times.
"N/A" is not a valid floating point value.
