Arc LS4 Flight Trainer Now Online

georget98 · Dec 19, 2003

I created a JavaScript emulation of the LS4 basic functions at http://www.egeorgeonline.com/ls4.

Unfortunately JavaScript mouse events seem to work differently from browser to browser and this version works great in Internet Explorer, poorly in Opera, and not at all in Mozilla.

I'm sure someone with better JavaScript skills and a bit of time can solve this and add the advanced menus.

P.S. I did check with Peter as I am using his graphic and control sequences.

P.P.S. The Flashlight Boys' Christmas is now online.

Very nicely done!

Gransee · Dec 19, 2003

Yes, George and I have talked via email about this. Pretty cool simulator!

I would like to put it in the FAQ, etc. Eventually, the advanced functions would also be included.

Again, very nice.

I'm amazed! Thanks George for the hard work! Great job! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif Nice 'preview' of the much awaited LS4!

PaulW · Dec 19, 2003

Peter's right. It is intuitive. By just playing around with it for a mere minute or two, I had it down pat.

Nice job GeorgeT. Nice job Peter.

What a great idea! A brilliant addition to the discussion that actually demonstrates the LS4's ease of use.

zorba · Dec 19, 2003

Yes, bery nice.
The only question now remaining, is when??

Gransee · Dec 19, 2003

How's this: In the FAQ, I tell people to hold the mouse so they can press the mouse button with their thumb like they were holding the flashlight.

Very nice!! Good job. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

BTW, it works fine in Internet Explorer on the Mac. Both in OS 9 and OS X.

Ben H · Dec 19, 2003

I like it! Thanks George! The LS4 is awesome!

Darell · Dec 19, 2003

And here I was trying to get into the advanced menu /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

That's pretty slick, George!

georget98 · Dec 19, 2003

I intend to add the advanced menus in the near future and clean up the quirks that don't match the behaviour of the real thing.

I just added instructions that change according to the current status.

jtice · Dec 19, 2003

Ahh thats very nice.
That should make it very clear to everyone.

Yea, its more advanced, and dare I say "harder" to use that a regular flashlight. But, heck, its more advanced,,, the MOST advanced LED flashlight on the market.

I think once ppl use it a day or two, it will become second nature. Besides, it is setup to work very similar to a regular flashlight in the first place.

Tony_Britton · Dec 19, 2003

Excellent,
works well in myie2 also

Rothrandir · Dec 19, 2003

refried llamas that's cool! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/drool.gif

GJW · Dec 19, 2003

So unless I've missed something you can not go directly from "off" to "boost"?

I'm using a finger-tip controlled trackball, so my thumb is my primary clicking finger /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif
