IFLOLS Gauge
« on: January 22, 2015, 01:57:22 pm »
Posting to inform re RCBarend's very handy IFLOLS gauge. I have great difficulty distinguishing the IFLOLS lights on the Acceleration and Javier's carriers and the IFLOLS gauge solves that problem. Glideslope default is 3.2, but can be easily altered to 4.12 or any other. Can be used with FSX aircraft, as well as with the VRS Superbug with some install modifications. Read about it here:

Thanks 'Habu' - that looks interesting: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/soh_ftp/uploads/imageuploads/998614058769027076.jpg



"- Extended operating range (up to 50 nMile), so you can find a carrier at long distance.
 - Visual deviation from the center of the horizontal beam, using the DatumLights.
 - Display of some basic aircraft and carrier data.

 Hence it acts a a full navigational instrument for carrier approaches/arrests; even in  an exterior camera view, like Spotplane.
 The gauge can be added in a 2D-window of an aircraft, and can be opened in any view.
 It supports (moving) AI aircraft carriers, either started by FSX' AI schedules,  Lamont Clark's AiCarriers2 addon program, or carriers "flown" in multiplayer mode.
 For FSX-Acceleration (or FSX-Gold) ONLY !!!!
 See included README for installation and operation details.  By Rob Barendregt."

Here is how to alter the glideslope, to make it compatible with vLSO for example.

Edit the file IFLOLS.xml (in Notepad++), seach for the line:
3.2 (>L:IFLOLS_GlideslopeAngleDegrees,number).
Change 3.2 into N.NN and save the file. I have found that 4.25 makes the ball congruent with the ILS needles.

Thanks for the info Habu....

I'm not a member at SimOuthouse so am unable to download the gauge from that link. Are you able to attach the zip file on these forums.

Thanks.

Author's README prohibits distribution without his approval. Sim Outhouse registration is free and painless.

Not for me mate.

Firstly, the SOH is blocked in India, and I can't open the site.

Secondly, if I use a 'proxy' and even reach the site, it doesn't accept 'free email ID'. I only have Gmail ID, and that is ostensibly not acceptable for registration.

Never mind.

I will find a way to reach the author directly through an email. I didn't realize that this is not open to general sim community.

I contacted author also about v2.2. Replied he lost it in a HD crash and never recreated it. Changes were trivial anyway.

This would be a very handy guage if I could adjust the Slideslope. When in triple screen, I cant see the blurry ball. Can you guys tell me how to change it to 3.5+
Thank you.

For changing glideslope this is what 'Habu' has said above in this thread:

"Here is how to alter the glideslope, to make it compatible with vLSO for example.

Edit the file IFLOLS.xml (in Notepad++), search for the line: FREE NOTEPAD ++ Latest Edition: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.7.4.html

3.2 (>L:IFLOLS_GlideslopeAngleDegrees,number).

Change 3.2 into N.NN and save the file. I have found that 4.25 makes the ball congruent with the ILS needles."
