Hiya everybody,

Is it possible to get fsrecorder to display the vasi correctly during a replay, it only shows it right from cockpit view, was a smart%rse comment from work colleague that made me think about it, from the external view the vasi shows as being too high on the approach.

I think it's all relative to where your spot view is.

cheers

Steve
 

May the Mynd be with you.
So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs, but that is due to change Smiley

I think you allready answered your collegues smart%rse remark......vasi lights are a pretty simple device that are relative to whatever angle you are looking at them from, so yes they are only showing your line of sight to the runway......from the AC, to the threshold

Hi Romflyer,

Thanks for that, guess I was right with my way of thinking.
I often have disagreements with this one guy about the local airport near work in Leeds.

cheers

Anytime you've got an aviation based dis-agreement or discussion and you need the straight goods answer......Simv is a good place to ask.
