vLSO Beta release
SpazSinbad:
I'm not able to check the above details in Fsim - this graphic below has been posted years ago now but I post it again - perhaps it will help.

Given all this information about wire placement, H/E distance, and glideslope angles, I was wondering if anyone has had success setting up the RFN FLOLS on the Team SDB Enterprise in P3D v3? They have a section in their manual detailing the edits, but when I try them for the Enterprise I see nothing on the FLOLS and it blocks out my ILS needles (using the same frequency). I'd love to use the Big E for the better visual model (than Acceleration) and correct wire placement. The AS Kittyhawk would be great too, but for some odd reason I can't see the all >0.4NM out (it literally pops on at this distance).
If I could add the RFN gauge to the FLOLS like the manual discusses, this would be perfect! Get the right wire placement with the Big E, and then account a more realistic GS and H/E distance adjustments with the RFN gauge.

On an off-note, if I may Paddles: Would it be possible to make a version of vLSO for WWII planes and carriers? The pattern was a bit different, with the long, sweeping, curved approach, and the LSO's waved their paddles (hence the origin of their nickname), to direct the pilots down, giving the cut or go around signs, and all that. All with just their bodies, none of the lights, radio nav-aids and other things that have improved their survival rate so much.
I was chatting with a friend on another forum, and this idea came up. I figured you would be the guy to ask :)

I've been playing around with the RFN gauge in P3Dv3. I've finally gotten the FLOLS to work with the Team SDB Enterprise (on the ship, not 2D cockpit). However, using this seems to kill the ILS needles for the Aerosoft F-14X I've been trying to set it up to use. I have it set to use NAV2, so I can tune NAV1 to the hard coded frequency the Aerosoft F-14X uses. The TCN bearing/distance works, but not the ILS needles. Does anyone who is more familiar with the RFN gauge know why, or can point me to an English language forum where they may be able to help more? Thanks!
Paddles:
Yes, the Aerosoft F14 HUD has the following hardcoded frequencies to use with the default FLOLS:
109.00 - 27X Kitty Hawk
110.50 - 42X Enterprise
111.00 - 47X Acceleration
112.00 - 57X Nimitz
113.00 - 77X Clemenceau
113.10 - 78X Charles de Gaulle
Once tuned to a relevant frequency you can use the HUD ILS needles.
However, you can't use the RFN custom FLOLS and the F14 HUD at the same time, because they have not only different frequencies but, which is more important, they use different OLS geometry. Why not use the RFN ILS mode with its inherent precison? See the attached image - I'm a bit high and left
