LSO is going to town with his WOs!

[GazAce]

It seems every time I try a Trap I get a WO no matter how good my approach is.

Has something changed recently with the SC LSO?

My Traps aren't that bad, driving me nuts 

[Gierasimov]

Give us a track mate. My LSO in case one says Roger ball only and sometimes maybe that I am bit left. 

Occasionally I would get bolter but wave off I have not heard since ages. 

[GazAce]

Track File? LMAO!

I get "Roger Ball" every time & "Your Low" a lot & WO like 8/10 approaches. I watch Vids of dudes Traps & I zerox them but still I get WO. Is LSO tougher now than before??

Which aircraft? The LSO is tuned for the Hornet, and that tuning is pretty meh. For the Tomcat, even a perfect approach isn't going to make him happy, because Tomcat is much slower when on speed in the groove.

[GazAce]

Yea I meant Hornet.

A while back I used to get pretty good Traps. I admit not 3rd wire all the time but few WO.

Lately it seems LSO is more strict with more WO. 

I'll keep trying *sigh*

Hi @GazAce

So here is the thing how LSO works in DCS:

Personally I think you are being affected by:

Two or more of the above conditions are true at the same time for a 2 second or more duration or excessive glidepath and localizer deviation for more than 4 seconds.

However, if you want to prove my theory wrong, and you want ED to accept as bug, please provide the track - you know that already anyway.

Thanks Gierasimov, I appreciate your input & reply mate.

Also appreciate directing me to the top half of page 36 Supercarrier Ops Guide & yes I have read this.. many times my friend. 

I'm not reporting this as a Bug, just merely asking the question that if the LSO conditions for an acceptable approach has changed within the last 6 months or so? 

[Gierasimov]

To my knowledge and experience LSO calls and rules for those calls are as they were. Grades changed when carrier burble was introduced and no matter what I do, I always get 'cut' penalty when I advance throttles after touchdown. I read its related to touch and go mechanics that are WIP so I am waiting for it. 

Other than that, I don't get wave offs unless I do really silly approach. 

One more thing, 

Is this case 1 pattern you are doing ornis this straight in approach and what's your initial altitude? 

Even though this isn't a bug you say, it would be helpful to attach track or video (since not a bug report) 

Yeah, I know you know the manual mate.

Ok thanks, you've answered my question.
