That was far better than I've seen alot of approaches. And AR, you stuck with using power to control RoD (as you should) and tried keeping the W on the 5.
However, in light of your "drunk driving", you should go by your new callsign "Drunken Master" (or DM for short) and use this image as your avatar. The heading reads: "Don't cross his path when he's drunk." ;D All you'd have to do it change it to read: "Don't cross his FLIGHT path when he's drunk." I know that one guy in multi (forgot his name, "you're supposed to have a STERILE cockpit") could use it too, as he drank alot during our sessions and got really cranky, but I thought you could get it first.

Just flew a couple of patterns in Dino's T-45 and found a curious thing. I'm on speed most of the time but the LSO constantly telling me I'm fast. I took this vid of a lap I did:
And here is the debrief:

Orion...
BTW, I see you got 16 secs in the groove. Did you do a full pattern or a straight in approach? Reason I'm asking is that I have done both but cant get it under 20. I see that you have 25 kts of WoD, think I'm gonna change it and see what happens. The one thing that this vLSO program does well now, is make you fly a good pattern (abeam, rollout, and time in groove)... and I've been working on that all the time.
Did you use your SF Carrier mission?

Seriously dude, you suck. That's the smoothest pattern I've ever seen. Did you actually fly that from the backseat? You could easily superimpose your video with the REAL WORLD Y/T "Lap around the boat" T-45 video and there would be very little difference. The abeam turn was nice and easy and the turn to final was buttah. You were all but setup for a OK 3 pass from the start.
I'm guessing the approach is still F-18 centric. I think you can use a T-45 but it still gives you F-18 speed calls? Thats just an outside observation, you'll have to wait for Serge's final verdict.

micro as Sludge is saying 'a very good video'. The video is very atmospheric also with the views outside suggesting it was a completely visual circuit/approach. I don't have sound to guess that that is good also? BZ. A great example of what can be done in FSX carrier landings.
