The Cool Video Thread

micro,
Very interesting video! I think new vLSO should introduce new comments like PD (pitching deck) and DU/DD (deck up/down) 
Once detected that the deck is not steady it should stop yelling at pilots and be more tolerable. I guess, the PLANE PITCH DEGREES variable of a boat (carrier) is the one that the program should monitor?

That would be pretty cool. Also, something that I've been meaning to mention for some time is with regard to the waveoff parameters in vLSO. Obviously, a LSO would waveoff anyone for getting low in close, and you've modeled that well. However, getting a little high in close would likely not warrant a waveoff, for fear of an in-flight engagement. A real LSO will simply allow the bolter to happen. So, my recommendation would be to modify the waveoff parameters in the next version to reflect something more like the pic below. Thoughts?

[Paddles]

Fair enough. Will put in-close limits a bit higher. 
Where can I get a working copy of pitching deck software?

I've been wondering that myself. Any help on the Pitching Deck zipfile would be AWEsome

I hope Orion doesn't mind me posting this. If so, I'll take it down.

[PhantomTweak]

Well, I sure hope Orion doesn't mind.
Thank you, very much! I've been looking all over for that. I very much appreciate the assistance.
Take care all!

I saw this video way back when in flight school, and actually based a lot of the "OK, 3" tutorial video on what I remembered of it.

While I never saw this particular movie before, and found it most informative, may I say, I saw plenty of movies with the same narrator and music, I swear, back when I was in Millington. Same era type movies, anyway.
Thanks for posting it, both for the information it contains, and the memories of a long time ago!

More pirouette than I have seen in the past with a legacy Hornet, very "Super Bug" ish. FCS software updates?

Another great video. Quite long but worth watching
