Paddles,

Over on the VRS Forums I've been trying to help a guy get vLSO running on his machine, and after running out of ideas he mentioned that he didn't have acceleration, so obviously vLSO won't work. Adiemus then suggested that future versions of vLSO could incorporate an FSX version checking utility of sorts to warn if they are using an unsupported version of FSX.  Or you could just tell them to RTFM  ;D

Orion:
Do the background colors correspond to different weather conditions or different cases?

I think the number alone would be sufficient to inform the user of the case.  I think it would be simpler and more intuitive if the background color only conveyed one type of information.  For example, dark for night and bright for day, instead of that and also different colors for different cases/weather conditions.

Paddles:
Orion,
The colors correspond to different cases (which usually have certain conection with weather conditions, right?). To my personal taste, different colors would help differentiate one case approaches from others...  ;)

Paddles:
Ok, guys
Once again about the colors...  :)

During my last FCLP tests of the program I thought that it would be convenient to color all passes of the same period, so you could easily spot qual or FCLP period passes, as well as tell one qual/period from another (that's the purpose of a subtle color difference of two adjacent odd and even periods on the attached image).

What do you guys think? Is it worth implementing?

GOONIE:
Paddles,

Looking good. I like it. Another thing LSOs do besides grade approaches, is report trends. Could vLSO do this for a given period? Up for discussion and I understand could be a significant amount of work. What I was thinking is after a period if you are continuously (LO)AR or Fast at the X, you would get a trend note (not sure how to implement, or what is considered a trend? +3 times?), so you know what to work on for next time. Just a thought. Don't want to slow down the release of beta .8, can't wait!

Also wanted to share that I found out what the number in the lower right corner of the PLAT cam is, it’s rate of descent in ft/sec. You need to multiply by 60 or just 6 to get the ft/min.
