The Pitching Deck Saga - Redux

<< < (4/9) > >>

SUBS17:
IRL do the lights compensate for sea states?

Paddles:
SUBS17,
Yes indeed http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=2308.45

Orion,
Just curious... Here's my gues how the ship would look like if nose pitched up to -0,7. Yes, Javier's model has no underwater parts, so we can see that its flat bottom shows up from the water  :)


Do the ship's roll/pitch axes coincide with the center of its model? If yes, I suppose that this pitch will effectively heave the FLOLS (and its focal point) to a certain extent. Additionally, touchdown points (i.e. wires) will move up and down too... The vLSO, on the other hand, supposes that the focal point of the FLOLS is steady somewhere at 54'..55' ASL. Have you tried to land on the deck with your program and vLSO running simultaneously?

Orion:
I'm not actually sure about the rotational axis - I'd expect it to be around the center of the model, though.  The FLOLS assembly will heave, but the lights will stay in roughly the same three dimensional position relative to the non-moving rotational axis of the carrier.  I don't have a good way of verifying the wire and catapult locations, though.  I haven't flown with both the vLSO and the pitching carrier yet, in fear of being waved off. :P

Paddles:
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you  ;D

Orion:
See initial post.

I'll be out for the holidays, so have fun and try not to break it. :P
