new Big E
Mickey_Techy:
I do feel that this thread is probably getting hijacked, though inadvertently. But for the sake of continuity, I will press on (but with due apologies).
Since, my last post on the subject, I got a bit restless (for having done things incorrectly for so long), and exchanged a few PMs with Texxal (whom I consider to be another specialist on all matters naval aviation). What I understand now is that I was confusing ILS with ICLS/ACLS. The boat does NOT have an ILS (we always knew that, but I comprehended it differently).
The approaches to boat are PAR controlled, so in a way, it is the radar controller who actually vectors the airplane into the boat (and hence the calls for line up or G/S corrections). The ICLS/ACLS is a ship-borne system that synthetically displays the 'bulls eye' and airplane deviation from bulls eye (read needles on HUD). Will continue this discussion, as I get more info.
Have fun.

Yes, whether its VooDoo's original wake fix, or my mod to that wake, you should be able to simply change out expected wake filename in the .CFG file and it should work.
Essex...
Interesting. Once I have the BigE package, I'll take a gander at the RFN Carrier TCN as well.
Johan...
Agree 100 percent. Glad he's here to give us some light on this.

Thank guys.
Sylvain sent the file (BETA) along with the following message. Also Sylvain tends to only distribute this gauge via the RFN website so please do not make this available for download anywhere except from this thread and the link I'll provide below. Thanks and looking forward to what you come up with. Sylvain will be away for three weeks starting tonight so no support is available.
--- Quote ---HI Frank,
Please find the RFN Gauge V3 package as it it tonight.
There may have some change before it is released on RFN website, but nothing major...
At this point not English doc is ready, sorry about that but I didn't have time for English translation...
Note the chart added at the very last page of the pdf that shows the different variables that are created and feed by the dll.
Any other gauge like HUD for instance can use it to integrate the moving carrier TACAN/ILS features in. (It's what I did for the T45 HUD)
Let me know if it helps you?
Regards,
Sylvain
PS : don't be surprised by having a VEH_FLOLS_Trailer folder to ad into SimObjects/Boats. It is due to the FCLP mirror system of the RFN dll : it add dynamically into the scenery an AI RFN mirror declared into FSX as a moving ship... :-D
