The Pitching Deck Saga - Redux
Paddles:
.NET Framework 4.5 does not support Windows XP
Bummer... :-[
Orion:
Made a new version targeting .NET 4 Client Profile. Should be compatible with XP, but I haven't tested it. Also added the link to the first post. Make sure you download the main package so you have the readme and BeatlesBlog SimConnect library.

For me that is a good video find, thanks. Just for information if anyone wants to try the SRVL Shipborne Rolling Vertical Landing on a CVF (is there an FSX CVF - UK new carrier - available?) or a CVN angle deck (similar deck run length for the SRVL) the UK F-3 5Bs plan to approach on a six degree glideslope at 60 knots airspeed to have a wheelspeed touch down at around 35 knots (so 25 knots of WOD) [touchdown point is approx. 150 feet forward from the stern - although computer landing aid technology can vary this point considering conditions at the time so that a safe landing/stopping is possible].
The F-35B has done many rolling vertical landings on the runways at NAS Patuxent River. However the SRVL is only likely to be tested on an actual CVF around 2018, when CVF will be first in service being tested with the F-35Bs for the RN/RAF. The SRVL may not be used at all it was revealed in June last year - however computer modelling and likely testing will happed due to a contract for this purpose. It is unlikely to be used on a CVN because the USMC (which had hoped to have an all F-35B force before changing to have some F-35Cs which will operate from CVNs (rather than any USMC F-35Bs). Time will tell I suppose.
Here is a deck plan for the ski jump CVF which will be used with the UK F-35Bs (shown here) while the angle deck version is not going to be used but shown in JPG online:

Now attached is a ZIPPED .WMV clip 'CVF_F-35BnightSRVL.zip' (2.5Mb) from an old animated video about the CVF showing an SRVL with approximate touchdown point near the aft portion of the aft island on CVF. Screenshots attached are from this video clip.

If you can somehow get the cats to work this program will be near the top, if not the very top, of my "best FSX addon ever" list.
