I've been playing with 7.01b and have 1 observation and 1 question.

Observation: The default IRIS S-3 tanker called out in the .ini file isn't a tanker. We herp-a-derped over why the drogue wouldn't deploy for an embarrassingly long time before realizing that. I'd recommend changing it to DSB S-3B Viking (VS-24_#1)

Question: I tried to complete the CarQual option from the pulldown menu, but nothing happened once I was done. Is that feature just not supported yet, or am I doing something wrong? Please see attached greenie board. Passes #39 through #50 were completed in a Superbug after clicking this option. No waveoffs, bolters, or exiting the pattern.

Great job!

Observation: Right, not all the S-3B versions have the drogue, only those with model=viking in the aircraft.cfg. I'll specifically mention that in the manual.

Question: Any CQ options found on the vLSO add-on menu are just currently dummies, reserved for future use in upcoming versions.

Thanks!

Paddles,
Thanks for the speedy reply and clarification.
I didn't explain the tanker situation clearly; the one that is referenced in the .ini file as the default tanker isn't actually a tanker.

If that hasn't been remedied already, you'll probably want to correct it.

Best,

Paddles,

Did some night traps last night, a couple questions.

1. Do you plan to add the Clara lineup call, or integrate with the Clara call? I see you have the "on centerline" audio files, but I only get "on glideslope" with the current Clara function. Is that as intended? Would be cool to get both calls, on glideslope, on centerline.

2. For some reason I no longer get the "paddles contact" calls at ~1nm, is that on purpose? Is that reserved for low viz ops? Are you going to add the "99 taxi light on" call too for low viz?

3. I really like the fresh LSO calls after each trap, however, sometimes when I manually call the ball I don't get the roger ball call from the vLSO. The debrief window shows I called the ball, ball balloon shown, and the LSO gives me other calls just not a roger ball. This only happened twice last night after six approaches. Not sure if this is just happening to me.

My buddy is sending me PLAT cam footage and audio from his cruise right now, should be able to add more variety to our growing inventory of LSO calls.

If I have at least one 'Clara lineup' call sample, I'll add it.

My intention was to have these calls alternating when on glideslope and lined up, but something in the code doesn't want to work as intended

Yes, this call is for lo-viz (and 'Clara'), so it is removed from .9 nm.

Are you going to add the "99 taxi light on" call too for low viz?

Yes, it is on my to-do list

Again, something in my code needs to be checked. I have also noticed this irregular 'Roger ball' absence, but thought this just happened to me

Are you going to upload it to somewhere? Would be nice to have fresh video and audio...

I'll email you an audio file for "clara lineup", I have one.

Great, understand it is a beta, just wanted to let you know. Really like this addition.

Glad to hear I am not the only one, maybe has something to do with the vLSO getting fresh/new calls after each trap.

Will see if I can post to youtube, or I can share the cut up audio files with you directly to distribute with your program
