bonesvf103 Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 I've been flying traps in the Supercarrier for a long time and I really wonder how complete the LSO and IFLOLS is? There are lots of times when I am clearly high---the ball is green, the needles are low, and the LSO is saying I'm too low. There are lots of times when the new IFLOLS that pops up on the side says I'm high and the LSO says I'm low. And/or it doesn't coincide with the needles. There have been a few times lately where I was on centerline and on slope (based on the ball on the carrier) and the AOA indexer was perfect and then then suddenly the LSO yells waveoff and the grade is WO AFUIC So I don't know who to believe or listen to. In MP it is worse in a way as I have a buddy watching me on the LSO platform with the LOS panel and he tells me where I am based on the panel and the AI LSO is saying something else completely. In that case I listen to my buddy instead and he's right on. So that's why I ask. It seems so very off all the time, and I don't know which factor to beleive---LSO, mini IFLOLS, ICLS needles, or the boat IFLOLS. The boat IFLOLS and my eyeballs and the AOA indexer is what I tend to believe because they end up being accurate, but the LSO keeps giving bad guidance and I'm frustrated with the LSO calls. IT's as bad as Jester when he calls the bandit on my six when he is clearly on my nose. Also, if you are flying the instant action stock Case I Caucuses, are the LSO calls working differently compared to if you fly the instant action case I Supercarrier Caucuses? Could that be why the LSO is AFU? v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.

Rescue Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 Hi would like to add (the reentry / spin is WIP and not implemented I know) that after a waveoff and a new approach with new Ball call the HUD IFLOLS still show me to waveoff while the LSO talking me down on the boat. Grettings =)
bonesvf103 Posted June 1, 2020 Author Posted June 1, 2020 Yes I have seen that also. The IFLOLS is still flashing waveoff when you come back AND the ball on it is still positioning per your approach. v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.
