Seems rather silly to stop the pitching deck motion once you've landed. Sort of defeats the purpose, if you ask me.

For most ops I would enjoy a more subtle deck movement pattern. Perhaps in a future beta release there could be controls implemented that allowed used specified pitch and roll values.

Initially I was considering storing the amplitude/period settings in the XML file, but ultimately I decided against it. This is partly because I've found that certain values can completely break the pitching deck motion. However, since you seem interested, I'll include functionality to change the aforementioned settings in the next update.

Cool. I look forward to it! When you release it, assuming I have time, I'll mess around with it and see if I can find suitable combinations of values that provide a subtle, yet realistic looking pitching/rolling deck. If I come up with something I'll definitely post my results here on the thread.

Sure thing! Hopefully I'll be able to find some time this week. Don't think it should be too complicated to add... :P
Orion:
Okay, I've published an update which makes the program store the pitch/bank amplitude/period in the XML file. You can only edit the XML file while the program is closed.
When you update, be sure to delete your existing PitchingDeck.xml file, otherwise the program will fail to launch the next time you try opening it. If you wish, you can copy your custom location preset(s) into the new XML file.
pyroperson87:
Quick question. What exactly are the period and amplitude measured in? It looks like period is measured in seconds, but I can't really figure out the amplitude values.
