Suggestion for vLSO update
Mickey_Techy:
Hi FSXNP,
I see that another update to the vLSO is on the cards.
I was wondering, if you could add some sorta "vLSO logbook reader" in the forthcoming updates to your software.
Few of us use screen shots of vLSO logbook to record and monitor carrier qualifications status of other pilots. In a recent incident another virtual friend, with better photoshopping skills than piloting skills submitted a screen shot of six OK-3 Underlined traps, while gladly admitting how our system to use such a method to 'check' pilots could easily be beaten.
vLSO is a great program to monitor proficiency of a virtual naval aviator and is also useful as a debrief tool. I was hoping that you could mod it a little to be able to provide following value additions:-
1. An option to 'export' a part of the log book (for a certain date, for example) in a custom format which cannot be read (or edited) by usual text editors.
2. A vLSO logbook reader software (bundled with original vLSO software), which would be able to read the log file generated in para 1 above.
Do you think this is possible?
If yes, would you like include something like this in your next (or subsequent) release.
Happy landings,
Mickey

You could just swap your Logbook.dat files and launch vLSO, I think.
Mickey_Techy:
:)
Yes sir, that we could, and that we do, till a better method is available.

Mickey_Techy,
I think that a PDF format would allow people to share their results, making sure those records were not tampered with.

PDFs can be manipulated - if they are unsecured - by Adobe Acrobat. I use Acrobat all day every day to do exactly that - in a good way. ;D
