What are the parameters for the Abeam? 590-610 ft and 1.2-1.5 NM TCN? What's your baseline number and margin of error? I'm asking, so I know what to fly.

Serge,

I have the same question as Sludge: what parameters are you using for the Abeam? I have flown at least 50 passes at distances and elevations close to the ones Sludge mentions, without an "Abeam " call. Although I am making good approaches and landings, without this call I am not happy with my flight :)

micro:
Thanks for the compliments guys. I’m still having the same problem with the T-45. It seems like the speeds in the debrief don’t jive with the approach. Like in my vid, I’m on speed most of the time except for at 3:01 I go to a red chevron just before the ramp. In the debrief it shows me fast during the entire approach except for when I actually did go fast. At that point it shows me on speed. Beats me.

Also, It seemed like the LSO started timing right after the catshot. Right at the end of the stroke I heard “you’re a little fast”. This also correlates to the time in the groove which is 111 seconds. Anyway, it is still a ton of fun. Good times.

Paddles:
Well guys
Thanks for your input! Indeed, this is merely a beta therefore is not free of bugs and glitches. That's why we test it  :)

Abeam. Yes, there are some inconsistencies, I guess I'll have to rework this part of the program.

AoA. Good observation, micro! The program is set for the Hornet's AoA numbers, but as it appeared the Goshawk has almost one degree less on-speed AoA. That's why you were getting 'a little fast' warnings while flying an on-speed approach.

Thanks again.  :)

Serge,

You are the one to be thanked. Your program is outstanding, I have never seen such a level of commitment to get to perfection in the sim environment.
Thank you,

Johan

Orion:
Okay, think I did this one a little better. :P

&hd=1

Edit: Apparently, for some reason, the vLSO didn't record the wire caught.  As shown in my video, I had the wire trap gauge running, and I got a 3 wire.  The main GUI of the vLSO says I got an OK, but the debrief screen says fair.

Edit 2: Yays~  Got an OK 3 from the vLSO! ;D  Not sure if I actually deserved it, though.  Didn't seem like that good of an approach.  See 2nd debrief screen and video: &hd=1.

Edit 3: Does OK in parenthesis mean fair?  Anyways, spent way too much time on this for tonight...  I should really be getting some rest.
