Hi Vivian, Thanks for confirming those numbers. I have one more question for you. I am playing around with the "nimitz_demo" ai scenario. I see that the carrier is turning, rather than following a fixed course. /ai/models/carrier/controls/in-to-wind = false /ai/models/carrier/controls/base-cou

Hello all, I hope you will excuse the intrusion it was suggested I make my way in here, more on that in a bit. I'm a FlightGear user and a terrrible one at that. I just enjoy playing with the interfacing (simpit if you will) so really a hardware guy and have no claim to be a programmer just a bi

Hi Curt, Yes the centerline offset for the Nimitz/FLOLS is 8 deg, and the optimum glideslope is 3.5. The FLOLS visible glideslope arc is 1.7 deg. If you fly the ball you should hit # 3 wire. I got that from a reference I have here. Vivian. -Original Message- From: Curtis Ols

Hi Curtis, Have a look at http://maps.google.com/maps?t=h&q=37.070833,-76.48&ie=UTF8&ll=36.99374,-76.447989&spn=0.003051,0.006866&z=18 IMHO this is a nimitz class carrier, top down. I measured with gimp: It is exaktly 9 degrees. ;-) cheers Olaf Am 03.12.2010 20:28, schrieb Curtis Olson

I have a couple questions about the Nimitz for the carrier folks: 1. What is the exact angle offset of the landing deck from the carrier heading. It appears to be about 8 degrees, but maybe I'd like to be more accurate than that if possible. 2. What is the ideal glide slope angle for flying the
