This IFLOLS (Improved Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System) gauge emulates an IFLOLS found on aircraft carriers, and allows you to "fly the meatball" for arrested landings.
Main difference with a carrier-based IFLOLS is, that this gauge is added to the panel of the aircraft; making (moving) carrier approaches far more accurate.
Besides the basic functionality of a real IFLOLS, it offers some more functions, like:
- Extended operating range (up to 50 nMile), so you can find a carrier at long distance.
- Visual deviation from the center of the horizontal beam, using the DatumLights.
- Display of some basic aircraft and carrier data.
Hence it acts a a full navigational instrument for carrier approaches/arrests; even in an exterior camera view, like Spotplane.
The gauge can be added in a 2D-window of an aircraft, and can be opened in any view.
It supports (moving) AI aircraft carriers, either started by FSX' AI schedules, Lamont Clark's AiCarriers2 addon program, or carriers "flown" in multiplayer mode.
For FSX-Acceleration (or FSX-Gold) ONLY !!!!
See included README for installation and operation details.
