vLSO Beta release
texxasal:
Release 0.8.1.0
Functionality is great, and performs as previous releases.
2 minor "cosmetic" points:
1. The "MARSHAL" call (which gives BRC, Case, Altimeter, etc. and is now computer-generated, addresses each aircraft with the identifier "99", which I would presume is an attempt at realistic presentation of the MODEX/SIDE/FLAP number of the aircraft. This information should be obtainable from the a/c within FSX, and is usually presented as the "Flight Number" field in the ATC NAME.
2. The "Lights on Deck" call is a nice enhancement, but should not be given continuously, as presently programmed. The best thing to do would probably check for the "Strobes ON" variable, rather than exterior lights master on, since other lights (Nav, Form) are often operating while on deck. As a second check, the advisory shouldn't be given when the a/c is "hooked up" to a catapult, preparatory to launch.
Minor stuff to be sure. The product continues to amaze and astound with it's functionality and detail.
Thanks

Paddles,
Always good stuff, thanks brother for the latest release! 8)
Texxasal,
"99", is used in the navy to refer to all aircraft flying. If you listen to CATCC tapes, you hear them give 99 calls for generic information important to all aircraft in the air (e.g. BRC, altimeter, winds). Specific calls (e.g. 201 turn left heading 260) give side number.
Regarding the lights on deck, since you shouldn't have lights on the deck after trapping, I think the repeat is fine and should remind you to turn your lights off. I think the delay on the cat is adequate. Once you turn on your lights to signal ready to go, I just trigger the CAT launch (within 2-3 seconds) and don't hear the lights on deck call which has a longer delay. If you set the trigger with the hook position, it could miss a call after trapping correct?

Dear FSXNP,
I have just tried to download v0810. I simply clicked on the 0810 hyperlink but have not seen a zip file like this before (please see screen grab), Is it right?
Thank you,
Tregarth
GOONIE:
Tregarth,
Yes that is right, on the upper left hand corner of the Google page, it says 'File', click that to see the dropdown. You will see a 'download' feature at the bottom of that drop down, click that to download the zip file with everything you need.

Thank you very much, I have now downloaded it OK.
If you happen to live near Gatwick Airport (EGKK) I run the Gatwick Flight Simulation Group (www.gatwick-fsg.org.uk). We meet on the first Sunday in every month.
You will be very welcome,
Cheers,
Tregarth
