Everything is green, And Javiers CVN68. Gear is down.

And Razgriz,

"Fresh FSX Gold Install"

Reading the post helps.

The FSX Acceleration expansion pack is required.

As I said, Pays to know what you're talking about.

EDIT:

Haha! Success! Have no idea what changed but it's suddenly working! Great program guys.

Well, to be fair, Flight Simulator X Gold Edition does include Deluxe.  It just also includes Acceleration.

  I freaking love this guys. Great work. Just found the catapult fix as well.

How about a session soon guys?

guys, do you have any tips to keep the centerline? this was one of my best landings, but still a little tricky to keep centerline, as it's not aligned to the carrier's heading.

thanks

When you're lined up, aim for the 'crotch' (at least that's what I think its called) of the ship.

Here's a picture of what I'm talking about:

A few reference videos:

Here's another picture of the "crotch". Sounds terrible I know 

I've put a cartoon Flight Path Vector (HUD symbol) on the picture to show how you line up with this area using the FPV. Doing so accounts for the ship moving forward and the runway moving to the right.

Also one vLSO picture of how if this technique is used, you can fly mostly down the center for an OK3

Had an approach and noticed when I didn't catch the wires that "Bolter, Bolter" did not come up on the radio. Can this be modified to happen in the event someone gets a wave off but continues anyway?

This is an awesome program! An excellent idea and great implementation.

Could this be extended to work with any ILS, to facilitate land-based operation or fixed scenery carriers?

[ESzczesniak]

I only just noticed this program and must say it's fantastic.  Wish I had known about it earlier.  It is very nice to be able to analyze you landings.  Of course it helps that of two passes I've flown with it I boltered and followed it with an OK(underline), 3 wire using the fleet LSO  .  Guess CAG LSO it will be.

aaron886,

No, this program doesn't use ILS/TACAN data. It works with AI carriers only, both Acceleration and Javier Fernandez's. Other carriers, like user pilotable or static, are not supported due to their limited functionality, i.e. not working/not present OLS, catapults etc. I see no point in carrier landings without OLS visual references... 
BTW, my two FCLP sceneries at KNJK and KNRA will be fully supported in future releases.

Ok, guys
