GOONIE:
Thanks Spaz, glad you liked the video. Your input is always valued

My buddy said he just got wrapped up in the wire, needed a tow to help get him out. Said it is common. Stinks for all the guys who had to discontinue their approaches, one guy was pretty low on fuel, thought I heard 4.5.
What surprised me is how little is said by the LSOs, I guess the pilots are pretty good, they are over half way through cruise, and "sugar calls" are distracting.
Paddles, the ATC feature would also affect the LSO calls, attitude vs power for ATC vs manual respectfully. There is a decent amount of Auto calls in the plat cam footage I posted, so it could be added "roger ball auto", if vLSO detects ATC engaged.
Orion, is the VSI in feet per minute? Seems like the values are too high, I would expect to see 600-700 fpm for a 3.5 degree glideslope. Maybe they were running a higher g/s? Or my math is off.
I'll try to post more footage.

Orion:
I don't know, but that's what I recall hearing from Sludge. I thought the values were a bit high for feet per minute myself. Before I heard from Sludge, I think J.R. might have said it has to do with wind speed.
SpazSinbad:
The USN needs an "ASK Naval Aviation Questions" [which can be answered] web page! ;D
Paddles:
This is what I've found in Neutrino's PLAT_camera XML gauge for this value: 'ACLS time to touchdown'.
But looking closely at the video I'm thinking that this number is for something else, it's neither VSI nor time to touchdown. At the wires, when an aircraft has landed and decelerates, this number still reads 15 or something.

I didn't know that even happened. Interesting to see it unfold.

Even running at the max IFLOLS glideslope of 4.0 I don't think you would see descent rates of -1500FPM. That's nearly a 6 degree descent I believe.
