vLSO Beta release

[Orion]

Just curious: will the vLSO recognize J.R.'s Combat Hornet?

[Paddles]

It will if its Atc_model is F18. If not, you can add one as a custom aircraft (see the PDF)

[Orion]

Ah, clever.  Wonder why FSX doesn't use atc_model for better aircraft substitution...

Serge,

Can I modify the .wav files in the sound folder, or are the audio files hard coded into the .exe now? Not sure if that changed in the beta updates, but it seems like it.

Yes, you can. Currently, at its startup, the program browses the Sound folder and randomly selects .wav files for different voice calls. I mean if there are more than one similar files, like RogerBall1, RogerBall2 etc., it randomly selects RogerBall3, for example. Just keep your new files reasonably short (about 1 sec) and follow my 'naming convention', i.e. NameX.wav where X is a consecutive number. By the way, the Name part is hardcoded.
Are you going to add some new wavs or edit the existing ones?

[GOONIE]

The reason I asked is that I changed some of the .wav files in the sound folder, used the same naming convention you used to replace the original files, but I am still hearing the old .wav sounds when flying (e.g. you're high and you're slow), any thoughts?

That's because of random selection, I guess... The program makes it only once, at its startup. The easiest way to make sure your new files are ok is to (re)move all original files to a safe place, leaving only your files in the Sound folder, and run the program. You should hear your new sounds.

[GOONIE]

Thanks Serge I'll give that a try!

How do I get the debrief taken as a screenshot?

Use the PrtScn key on your keyboard and save the image in your clipboard with the program of your choice (e.g. Microsoft Paint).

Thanks.

Okay guys, I have some serious questions here.

But first, Awesome Initiative. Can't wait to use it..

However, I can not get it to work, Brand new FSX Gold Install, Sludge 1.2, T45 V2, F-14D and The Default Whorenet and nothing will work, at all. I've read this thread twice. Trying all the fixes. Currently VLSO is installed to the Microsoft Games folder, I've opened before, after and during my flight, Will not work. 

Checked all the ATC_Models. All correct. All green on Simconnect as well. I'm at a dead end here.

Any ideas guys?

[Paddles]

That's strange...
What beta version do you use?
Do you have both Simconnect and FSX indicators green? If yes, then everything's ok with your system setup.
Make sure that the Sound subfolder is present in your vLSO folder.
What carrier do you try to land on? Do you extend landing gear prior to that?

[Razgriz]

Do you have FSX Acceleration installed?
