vLSO Beta release
Paddles:
Orion,
You shouldn't get an Ok 3 because of your lineup deviations. But currently the program grades your approaches based only on the glideslope deviations. I'll fix this in the next beta version, so hurry up making more Ok 3's ;D

We are agreed :) Plus Zip-Lip button.
--- Quote from: capthaltli ---Does anyone know how real world LSO's grade AoA (on speed)? Do they grade speed at the 0.1 degree level of AoA? I am not an LSO, but I would assume they use the AoA indexer on the nose gear and also aircraft attitude. Using that logic, the cockpit AoA indexer could show a yellow doughnut and red chevron at the same time when the nose gear AoA indexer would only show yellow (I think this is correct). Here is a picture showing AoA varies during the approach with the ultimate goal of being on speed. What do others think or does anyone have any real world input?

Right, the ALA (Approach Light Assembly) on the nose gear shows only one color, not two at the same time, as the AoA indexer does. This is a coarser indicator. This means that LSO can't see that aircraft is 'a little slow' or 'a little fast', he can only see it 'fast' or 'slow'... This also means that I should change the way the vLSO checks on-speed deviations. And this eliminates the need for those 'a little slow/fast' voice calls, too...

That seems to make sense to me Serge, but again I am not an LSO.

SpazSinbad:
The LSO may not make a radio call "a little fast/slow" or any other 'a little' condition except perhaps during initial carqual or beginners FCLP, he will make notations though for debrief. The LSO is very good at seeing any deviations from ideal and he/she does not rely on any one indication such as the nosewheel light except perhaps when conditions such as night time preclude looking at other aircraft benchmarks as mentioned earlier. The LSO is trained to be the expert.
Letourn:
Thanks you Serge for that new Beta lots of fun and some really good new features.
I think i also have the same problem that the other people hard to get the abeam call.
Thanks again!
