Well guys...
The Beta is here http://www.gamefront.com/files/20939218/vLSO.zip
To install the program unzip this archive and copy the vLSO folder to a folder of your choice and replace the existing files.
Copy the CarrierTrials folder over to the FSX/Missions/Military folder and replace the existing files.
ATTENTION - This beta version is not compatible with the alpha, so you'll have to remove the Logbook.dat file before first run of this beta.
What's new?
More grades. All the grades, actually.
Totally new approach data acquisition and evaluation system.
More eyecandies and user interface improvements (handwritten logbook for example)
Manual ball call option for you, hardcore simmers.
Additional views in the CarrierTrials mission (PLAT, paddles and Air boss)
No more areas and triggers in missions. I encourage you to test the program with any FSX carrier missions available.
Happy landings![/quote]
This is for carrier landings in FSX acceleration.

That will be interesting , d/loaded and will try this later .
LSO is going to have you for breakfast ... he called Wave Off , Wave Off 
You think thats bad imagine the comments I get from RL Hornet pilots when they see it. BTW I've posted worse landings. 
You should try the old Swordfish onto the Illustrious in FSX , you have this this little batman in the corner with the paddles , not that you need them at the speed you land with the old biplane
.
For modern carriers they use the meatball instead of an LSO with paddles.

You would have to have quite good vision to see a man on the deck in a Hornet.
The above link is for the Sludge hornet which has a gauge which has a zoomed in view of the meatball when on approach. Meatball is modelled in the FSX acceleration carrier.

Just to finish you off , again from same link , put 'Bruce Fitzgerald' in the search engine , you get a drivable CV6 .. this means when both loaded in multiplay i can sail the carrier - be the LSO and you can land what ever carrier aircraft , again we both have or needed for it to work , we have had multiplay with four people flying and myself as the carrier commander .

Why be an LSO when you can fly and have the vLSO do the job for you.

and coming soon:
VRS Tacpac which brings combat to VRS Superhornet for MP and has an SDK to make other aircraft combat capable in MP and:
