vLSO Beta release
syn:
Hi, still to more issues after beta 6
- vLSO seems to be using baro altitude as read on the airplanes altimeter and not true altitude. A wrong altimeter setting (must be significant, lets say 2mb or .07inHg) causes weird outputs in vLSO and wave-offs on, otherwise, normal approaches.
- Still getting worse grades when rolling out on a .6DME case I 15-18 sec groove (ref: F-14 NATOPS, T-45 NATOPS) than when rolling out at .8 even with manual ball call for approaches with no significant deviations.
syn:
Follow-up on the second point of my previous post. Both of these are touch and goes on a straight-in approach. The only significant difference is the point at which I call the ball. I can reproduce this consistently and I will always get at least an OK with the far ball call and an (OK) only with the close-in ball call, unless I **** up the pass ;D
EDIT: typo
SpazSinbad:
Earlier there was a question or related question about 'hook/eye' HE distances. Have come across a poor quality page with some data from latest LSO NATOPS PCL:

Graphic is best I can do to make it readable.
Super Hornet HE is 17.15 feet
Now attached is a second attempt at making a good graphic from a not so good original.

Syn,
I've noticed that when using 'manual ball call' the vLSO seems to grade harder or at least I am unable to get an OK3 even when it is a perfect pass (no comments from vLSO) to a three wire. I can only get an OK3 when in 'auto ball call', not sure what is going on here and Serge is aware of the situation. I too try to roll into the groove at .6-.7 DME on the TACAN, but my groove times always seem long >20seconds, not sure what is going on here either.

I had a Wave-off and got a 3 Wire. I think, we may ask to much. It's only FSX each set-up on a different Computer. If you like to be real graded, we all should use the same computer. Herb
