Serge...

I would leave that in the final release IN-CASE people would like to tweak it. Some people MIGHT have been tweaking it already WITHOUT telling you or us about it here at FSDT? I know your vLSO is a BIG HIT over at VRS, as many of them have been testing it in the multiplayer too and saying it works like a champ.

CAPT...

I think you just click on the CHECKBOX "allow changes in mission" before you select his carrier mission, then those choices shouldnt be greyed out.

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?

 I can tell you that the default values do not match the auto-waveoff values for Javier's. They are wider at the start and much tighter in-close.

Serge,
Are the extreme deviations at-range measured in degrees?

Hi Serge
Meant to say thank you for the latest beta, excellent work.

I haven't played around with the ini file but I did manage to get the Ark Royal to 'work' with the beta by adding these lines to it's sim.cfg

[fltsim.1]
title=CVN68_R9
model=
texture=

Obviously the deck angle etc are wrong (but not deck height in this case).
Could it be possible in future to add custom carrier entries to the ini file ideally with parameters for its geometry as well? The Locus isn't something I'd necessarily want to change.
Also ideally could we add custom aircraft entries with their optimum AOA?
End of wish list.

Cheers and Thanks again.

BTW, Sylvain has released a gauge package RFN_Tacan.zip to give any aircraft Tacan etc from any carrier with a catapult. Although I haven't updated my gauges as they already work fine. Instructions in English here;

Nevermind. I have confirmed that the values are in degrees.

Here's the locus profile I worked out:

[Locus]
Range.1 = 5600, 2500, 1.3, 1.3, -1.6, -1.6
Range.2 = 2500, 2200, 1.3, 1.3, -1.6, -1.6
Range.3 = 2200, 2000, 1.3, 0.8, -1.6, -0.8
Range.4 = 2000, 1600, 0.8, 0.45, -0.8, -0.45
Range.5 = 1600, 1300, 0.45, 0.45, -0.45, -0.45

2200' and beyond, it will wave off concurrent with the Javier waveoff lights. HI, LO
2200' to 1600', it will wave off any excursion greater than 2 balls. HI, LO
1600' and closer, it will waveoff for any excursion greater than 1 ball. (HI), (LO)
