The Pitching Deck Saga - Redux
GOONIE:
Orion,
How is your pitching deck tool different than the VRS's pitching deck functionality? I guess the biggest difference is it is free ;D Tacpack let's you create carriers and has three settings for pitching deck intensity. Does yours include roll? I flew last night and noticed VRS got the deck lights and IFLOLS to move with the pitching deck, made for some great night pitching deck flying!!! Had some wave offs IC.

Glad to help! :) Did you ever try additional values for the amplitude and period?

Love it! See my track starts coming down AR and then goes even down below the deck IW - that's because the deck was pitching down when I was AR, and I remember I started spotting the deck at that point... ;D
I also noticed, FLOLS and ILS were both stabilized, so was vLSO - that's good.
Oh, how much the deck pitches and rolls, by the way?

Great! Glad you like it, and nice approach. :D The deck should pitch approximately ±0.7° and roll approximately ±0.3°. You can customize the amplitude (units are non-linear) and period (units are 1/6 of a second) by adjusting the values in the XML file (while the program is shut down).

The pitching deck is, as far as I know, implemented similarly to VRS' solution. However, the major difference, as you pointed out, is that it is available free of charge. :) As indicated in the program UI, the readme, and in this thread, my program does allow for bank/roll. Which carrier are you using with TacPack?

I did try changing the values but I didn't even come close to achieving what I had hoped. Movements were too absurd looking and I don't have the patience to sit and tweak values a tiny bit at a time. ::)

I realize this is a rather old thread, but:
None of the links to download Pitching Deck are active any longer. Is there a place that it can be D/L'd from these days? I would love tog et ahold of this program...
