GOONIE:
just found this gem. LSO School 8)
GOONIE:
Paddles,
How does vLSO decide whether to issue an informative, advisory, and imperative call? Just curious after reading the Spaz's recent post on LSO calls.

'Goonie' thanks. That NAN story is an example of what is in the 'how to deck land' or the 'A4G/RAN FAA Fixed Wing' PDFs. There is a ton more stuff about LSOs and how to deck land over the years and future years in these PDFs ('how to deck land basic material the same in both). There are several 'how to deck land' PDFs - larger/smaller - for download convenience. I could put a huge list of URLs to some of the material found online that is in the PDFs however since a decade has passed for some of it (including the NAN story) some of the links do not work now and the material is no longer available online. For example the old 'LSO Reference Manual' is not online but is for sale. 'Sludge' used to have it on his old website for download (the 1999 Rev.B version) however it is not there now. That's the internet. It seems the US Military has taken a lot of material offline these days for 'security' reasons (whatever they may be) including sadly the APPROACH Magazine website. Perhaps this site is available to US users but it has not been available in my part of the world now for some time - along with other formerly available USN sites/PDFs/material including stuff from VX-23 such as their excellent newsletters and what have youse. ;D

In the olden tymes Microsoft was flogging ESP - an adjunct, more expensive - for FSX but it went nowhere as I recall. A demo video was made and here is the carrier landing demo with AI LSO:

Hello Paddles, thanks for your great work.
Two small questions on beta 0.800 :
1/ LIG
I thought LIG is only for CASE I recoveries but I was able to get ones on CASEII/III traps. Intended ?
By the way, does vLSO take the WOD/APPR SPEED in consideration for the LIG ?
For exemple, optimum WOD being 25kt (aircraft depending?), could a tolerance be applied when current WOD is much higher ?
2/ Manual Ball Call
Is there a angle limitation for vLSO to detect the Manual Ball trigger ?
I mean, could one call the ball as soon as "at 45" or should the plane be in a narrower aspect angle ?
