The Pitching Deck Saga - Redux

<< < (2/9) > >>

Paddles:
...which means pilots will have problems trying to stay on glideslope?  ???

Orion:
It's effectively stabilized - the ball shows the glideslope relative to the normal position of the carrier - so pilots won't be chasing the deck up and down.  Additionally, the ILS/TACAN needles still work on J.R.'s HUD, so people can find glideslope/lineup deviations that way as well.

GOONIE:
Very cool, could be an early xmas!

Is this ready for beta test or download?

If not, do you have a video showing the degree of motion? Curious to see what the pitch and roll looks like in FSX, the values seem low, but it is better than nothing.

Did you see VRS's pitching deck as part of TACPACK? Pretty crazy :o

Orion:
No.  I'd like to make sure everything works properly before releasing it.

I don't have any video, and can't currently record one.  It's enough to be noticable, but not overly done.  0.7 degrees is actually quite a bit considering the size of an aircraft carrier.  I wasn't able to find any specific values of amplitude/period to match, so I just went with what I thought looked reasonable.

I've seen VRS's pitching deck and found videos of it to be quite silly.  While I could make the deck pitch and bank as much as they have, I certainly wouldn't want to.

Mickey_Techy:
Can I do "anything" to help, Orion!!!!  ;)
