I agree

FSXNavyPilot,
What are the "locus" parameters in the .ini file? The first 2 numbers are (obviously) max and min range in feet for each stage of the approach, but what are the next 4 numbers?
Thanks,

Look at this:
The [Locus] section of the vLSO.ini file defines the locus of points in the vertical plane from which the aircraft will reach an on-glideslope condition at the ramp (OK GS and OK rate-of-descent) (see the RHE-NAV-90-TR-1, pages 137 and 138).
You're right, the first 2 numbers are max and min distances for each stage (or range) and the next 4 are extreme glideslope deviations at these distances. If your position at any given time is not within these boundaries, the program will consider your approach as bad and wave it off.
The reason I put this into the ini file was that anyone could tweak it, if needed. But nobody complained so far and I think I will omit this section from the final release.

Yeah, I figured as much. I tweaked the numbers to match the "H" and "L" limits so that it won't wave-off an approach unless there's an actual safety-of-flight deviation. We were having issues with it waving off what should have been "fair" grade passes. This also made it compatible with more aircraft.
Thanks,

Thanks, Serge.
Do the wave off G/S values you use in the .ini file match the automatic wave off lights on Javier's carrier IFOLS?
Also, in the carrier mission you created, several of the menu options are greyed out (aircraft, time/date, weather), is there a way to allow the user to change these settings on the fly (FSX running) and not only through the .flt file?
