vLSO Beta release

Serge...
OK, finally got done with modding the Sludge for the moment and got some testing done. I'm having the same problem others are in that, I get the "POWER...POWER" calls even though I'm a tad overpowered and I got an OK3 UNDERLINED.
I even tried "opening" up the LOCUS.GS numbers to allow for more leeway.
Here's the numbers I used:
;--- Dist Up Down
Pos.0 = 4000, 1.30, -1.60
Pos.1 = 2500, 0.75, -1.27
Pos.2 = 2000, 0.68, -1.15
Pos.3 = 1500, 0.66, -1.60
Pos.4 = 600, 0.57, -2.85
Pos.5 = 100, 0.45, -3.40
I took the FSX screen shot the moment I heard "power, power", so I'm guessing that call comes based on RateOfDescent and not the GS?
FYI, I was using the AUTO BALL CALL setting, and CAG level w/ZIP LIP disabled.

holy approach

Sludge,
Thanks for your input! Yes, the program issues that 'power, power' call when you're a little low (and lower) at the ramp. I think this call is useless at that range, because there's no time remained to correct. So, I'll fix that in the next beta release, i.e. no power calls when 'a little low' and 'low' at the ramp. However I'm not sure should I remove it for the 'very low' condition too?
As for the locus, it just describes a boundary of a safe approach - fly beyond it and you'll get a waveoff. It has no connection with voice calls other than waveoff.
Thanks again!

FSXNP,
On the VRS Superbug, I repeatedly get a waveoff at about 0.8nm, even though I have the cross centered. I have tried both Case I and III approaches.
If I fly slightly below GS, then there is no problem.
With the ILS cross centered, on VRS SH, I get waveoff's even much closer to the boat (0.3 nm, 0.5 nm etc). I have even gotten a OK3 by flying about half a ball width below GS. How do I correct this for the SH.
On the T45 however, there is absolutely no problems at all. Haven't flown the Sludge Hornet with vLSO much, since I know the original assembler (lol) would be testing it extensively, in any case.

Yeah, I think this is a good idea, as in some of the CRASH Y/T's we've seen, you can hear the "POWER, POWER!!" calls when he's about 1-wire/ramp-strike RoD approach.

Thanks for the info., so now I can go back to the regular numbers realizing that the LOCUS.GS numbers have nothing to do with those "POWER, POWER" calls. Which reminds me, those numbers should have the vLSO waveoffs COINCIDE with the boat waveoff lights (upper and lower limits), right? If so, they are probly good as is, but I'll re-confirm when I get home.
No problem, always trying to help make your product the best it can be...
