Ship's wake not animated

[BoneDust]

Anyone else notice the v shaped white wake from the ships is no longer animated?

I think it's just you. I was just playing the hornet campaign earlier and I adjusted my landing approach by making sure I was approaching on the side with the wake.

 

But I'll give it another look in a minute or two.

Yes, I think it is the latest mission I built. We flew an earlier mission and the wake was fine. I'll have to take a look at that mission again to see if I can replicate it. Could have been a bad MP connection or some such.

AFAIK the wake isn't animated, the tail at the rear is - it actually 'flows' out of the back of the ship and appears to be fixed with reference to the body of water - which looks more natural and realistic.

 

However, the wake that begins at the bow and appears like a series of Vs is AFAIK a texture with no animations applied, it moves very rigidly with the ship and to me at least doesn't look natural in comparison to other sims, it's better than nothing but leaves a little to be desired.

 

Mind you, it's no major deal, there are way more things I can think of that IMO take precedence over making the wake look better.
