WIP/Teaser: LSOBot …. BMS Carrier OP Landing Evaluation Tool
-
Jeeeez I feel a little sorry to see that tremendous amount of work
I think it will work well in concert.

Fantastic news!!! Thx :drink:
-
Nice work dude! You’re a stud.
-
LSOBot is released!
Great news this, Tyrant, and thanks a lot for sharing your work most of all.
With best regards,

Just found out about this grading tool. I have tacview and I use it for DCS. only problem is it works less than half the time. Not sure whats wrong. i do have some fairly large files but the website just hangs and never loads it up.

It’s not really designed to work with large files. Just flip ACMI off and on again before landing and you’ll get a new, smaller file that should work fine.
Also, are you saying you’re using LSOBot to grade DCS landings? I’d be surprised if that works at all.

I tried it with DCS and it wouldn’t work for me lol

Ive got it to work a few times with DCS. tacview convert the same data right? just LsoBot just hangs for hours but it was working before

The grading algorithm is pretty specific to the carrier in BMS. If it works with DCS then it’s a total accident, and I wouldn’t put much stock in the scores it gives. Yes the file formats are the same, but I had to bake in information that’s specific to BMS - not everything can be read from the TacView file. Those assumptions won’t hold for DCS.
If you are having trouble with it hanging, the most likely explanation is that your recordings are too long. LSOBot has to scan the entire file looking for landings. Your ACMI should not include anything more than the two or three minutes near where you attempt to trap. If you point it at a two hour mission, yeah, it’s going to just churn basically forever.
Easiest way to get a small ACMI file is to turn ACMI off (if already on} and then on again right before trapping. This will result in a new, smaller .vhs file, which you can convert into a smaller .ACMI.txt file with TacView, which will then load much faster in LSOBot.
If it’s hanging for small files let me know and I’ll try to track down the problem.
