Ricbhard has been working on carriers since April 2020; originally the intention was to release as part of the 2020.2 LTS however the changes have grown into a set of new features rather than bugfixes and are therefore more suited to a longer development and review process.<ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/flightgear-devel/thread/aaa9a3ee-ca18-e3af-1538-0cd59ae7a752%40zaretto.com/#msg37038519</ref> | |||

* {{Progressbar| | * {{Progressbar|75}} Multiple (tower) views - permit selection of LSO, PLAT and Tower as part of the "Tower view"; selection mechanism TDB. Consider revisions to the existing view system to better support this. | ||
* {{done}} Extend XML to include definitions for FLOLS touchdown position, LSO view position, Tower View position, deck angle. | * {{done}} Extend XML to include definitions for FLOLS touchdown position, LSO view position, Tower View position, deck angle. | ||
* {{Progressbar| | * {{Progressbar|75}} Improve 3d models for IFLOLS to ensure that a ball call can be made. | ||
* {{Progressbar|80}} Improve logic for IFLOLS lights; not quite an LSO simulation more of an approximation of the definitive cases (e.g. waveoff) | * {{Progressbar|80}} Improve logic for IFLOLS lights; not quite an LSO simulation more of an approximation of the definitive cases (e.g. waveoff) | ||

* {{Progressbar| | * {{Progressbar|100}} Improved support for Precision Approach Landing System (PALS) (AN/SPN-46); to support lineup deviation as well as glideslope (ball) deviation. | ||
* {{Progressbar|70}} Change approach deviations to use new aircraft reference point rather than eyepoint; it is probably more correct to use the eyepoint when in the cockpit view - but for external views this can be slightly inaccurate when outside the aircraft to completely wrong when in tower/LSO view. The reference point is taken as the aircraft position with an optional model defined x,y,z offset. This allows ball tuning on a per aircraft basis. | * {{Progressbar|70}} Change approach deviations to use new aircraft reference point rather than eyepoint; it is probably more correct to use the eyepoint when in the cockpit view - but for external views this can be slightly inaccurate when outside the aircraft to completely wrong when in tower/LSO view.
