Sorry to hear that Mada, will look for you later in the week.
On another note, here is a teaching tutorial for the carrier approach along with some of the verbiage that is required. You dont HAVE to do it to get "paddles" from me, but if you are a stickler for realism, its a good starting point. Including most people who respond in the "Maverick has the ball" style. Makes me laugh, every time!!!
http://everything2.com/title/How+to+land+a+jet+plane+on+an+aircraft+carrierFor those of you that have received actual "grades" from me, read the lower paragraphs and dont feel bad when I give you a "fair" approach. In real life, its a very common grade. I know everyone wants to read their Trap Gauge and get an OK 2/3, but the only time you earn an OK is when you are flying an approach, and hear TWO OR LESS correction calls from me. If I ask you to read your ENTIRE Gauge to me (not just the wire), its because you got the prerequisite 2 or less corrections but At The Ramp you were a hair hi/low and I want to know your readings. At that point, Im about to give you an OK, unless the gauge tells me something really off and that you massively overcorrected high/low At The Ramp. Isnt that right, Simon... nice OK 2!
For hardcore FSX Naval Aviators, using the PLAT Cam crosshairs, here are my correction call standards:
Course (lateral) = Jet is halfway (or more) to the side crosshair point for two or more seconds w/no attempted self-correction.
GlideSlope (Alt) = Jet is on/above/below vertical crosshair point for two or more seconds w/no attempted self-correction.
If you maintain inside these standards, I wont say jack, and thats the goal. There is a caveat, that if you are off-course/glideslope for too long or too close to the ship to correct in time, you will get a wave/off.
The BEST you can do is after I call "Roger, ball", you hear nothing from me til you are spooling down, at which point Im probly thinking of why you cant get an OK Underlined? Which I will give if you kept the jet centered in the crosshairs from The Start (3/4 mile) to the Wire.
