We don't have pitching decks now, right?

 

 

There's a parameter in the Movement section of a ship's _data.ini that will cause the deck to pitch. However, last time I tried it would usually knock the aircraft off the catapult.

Thanks for the info.

It's the SuspensionConstant under [Movement]

I just tried 0.5 and 1 for the value, and the only anomaly was the aircraft landing gears compress as the deck pitches.

They were stable on the catapult though, while a nice little pitching effect could be felt. :good:

An anomaly? That's what the gear Oleos are supposed to do when they experience a compression load, such as the aforementioned deck rising underneath them, or when they hit the tarmac upon landing.

Well of course...

 

I meant a graphic anomaly, when the pitching happens the gears will look like moving in the air above the deck. Anyway it's pretty much a non-issue for me..

yeah I abandoned this along time ago, and TK never mentioned fixing it,

 

when it was first introduced planes would remain at deck level as teh deck moved, planes would seem to sink into the deck or float above it, but that might have been fixed with the "collision mesh" which my carrier doesnt use because of some random glitch in the model or ini somewhere that prevents the game from loading my collision.lod..

 

hopefully w/ SF2NA and a new model this issue is gone.

 

which carrier are you using it on?

hrm,

 

i remember when it was introduced in a WoV patch that was a issue with planes not responding to the moving deck,

 

TK said it was only for other ships.. so me and someone else that was doing another carrier abandoned it..

 

TK prolly adjusted it so that when the ship pitches the "Landing Height" Square Area/Plane and all of the Coordinates for deck items and systems pitches with the model.

 

im still trying to figure out why the title doesnt like the collision nodes i make, its gotta be something stupid in max, but until / unless i get something to compare the MAX/INI files with it will take a big of time to figure out.

(is it me or does it look like TW is taking hints from 3rd party mods in regards to Particle Effects/features)

So either that particular Kiev ain't modeled as a carrier or were getting sinkable cariers?

 

Craig

I think the second one :clapping:

Haha! TK listened to my today's request at Thirdwire, asking for some new screens :rofl:

 

It's lovely shots

 

One more thing -particles are subtely reflected in water too (I was worried about this) :good: can't wait to try my Unified Effects pack with this one :heat:

TK posted on TW forum long ago that if sinkable carriers are required for gameplay he will make them sinkable.

So go figure :skull:

Looking at the last picture i see two separate dual launchers pointing to the target. Do we now get multiple missile launchers on one ship? :ninja:
