DigitAL:
I like to use the configuration 1 option when I bring up AI Carriers.  There aren't any obstructions from what I can see on approach.  The only problems I do have is that whenever I make my turn to finals from downwind and when I can see the "round down" it always puts me at .8nm and vLSO doesn't pick up my approach at all which leads to my other problem; my average groove time is around 28-29 secs.  Are these situated by program limitations or am I doing something wrong?

Victory103:
Is your ship moving or stationary? Since I was a kid flying around the boat, I've always read unofficially to use the round down as my abeam call and start the turn.

DigitAL:
It's a moving boat.  I've come across several opinions about using the round down as a visual marker, but equally about flying to .1nm past abeam to start the turn to final.  If I fly .1nm it puts me at the 28-29sec time in groove, if I use the round down it puts me around 15-16sec time in groove (yeah i used a stopwatch to time it...lol) but I don't get a grade with vLSO.  Maybe I'm turning too steep using the round down and not steep enough using the .1nm method?

GOONIE:
OK, CVN68_2 or CVN69_2 seem to work. See pictures.
