For undergraduate CQ, any aircraft would be fine.

Sorry, I'm not sure that the order of CQs is correct ;)
According to NATOPS:
Undergraduate CQ
Pilot's first day carrier qualifications prior to designation as a Naval Aviator.
Initial CQ
Pilot's first day or day/night carrier qualification as a designated Naval Aviator.
That means they can only fly Undergraduate CQ in the T-45...

I'm not sure that this is even physically possible to implement, or that anyone else would be interested in such a feature. It would be great for realism though as ATC APP is not to be used during any CQ event.

By default, in the Hornet (and in other aircrfat) you can toggle Autopilot airspeed hold mode, which was previously discussed here at the FSDT forums.
I have tested that Ctrl-R and it really worked! ;D Did a couple of passes with ATC engaged (see the attached images) - it was real fun and I think I'll have to add this feature to the program. (A) for APC/Auto is a standard LSO notation. 8)
Also I will need some 'ball, auto' and 'roger ball, auto' calls to implement it.
Thanks for this great idea, Pyro!
PS. Oh yeah, I had to add the ATC indication to Neutrino's HUD.
Paddles:
Anyone knows what's that two-digit number at the lower right corner of PLAT video?
pyroperson87:
Oops! Didn't even notice that I had those backwards there :D
In the Rhino it shows as "ATC APP" on the HUD when using ATC in PA mode. Anyone know why they changed it from just "ATC" on the legacies?
Orion:
I've heard that number to be the absolute value of the VSI of the aircraft, truncated to the hundreds/tens digits.
SpazSinbad:
'Orion' thanks - it seems the waveoffs show the decreasing rate of descent and I guess the hundreds of feet scale make the changes look rough perhaps.
