Is there a snowballs chance in Hades this might be in the patch tomorrow?

I think this might have been fixed. I tested a quick mission late last night in Persian Gulf and I noticed a very small amount of movement that stopped once I got the engine running. This was with the Huey and I was sitting on the Tarawa mind you but the ship was moving at 10kts.

Still an issue I'm afraid.

If the ship is already moving at mission start the slide is slower than if the ship starts at 0kts and gains speed.

The UH-1 slowly creeps forward on the Tarawa, and eventually will crash into the ocean if it's not started up and airborne in time. 

Track file attached shows the bug in action.

This is a long reported bug.

It happens with all ships.

I bumped the internal report not so long ago.

I think this might actually be fixed now!

I've just tested it, cold and dark on the Arleigh Burke going 30kts with a 12kt headwind. Let it run for 10mins and its no longer nudging forward.

There is a little sliding forwards and backwards but its pretty much centred around the same spot so doesn't come into contact with the ship.

If someone else could test it to confirm.

I'll check right away.

Having the same experience as you. Seems to slide around in a small circle but in the same location - not constantly in one until it falls off the ship. Looking encouraging!

I agree the deck sliding is now fixed when the Huey starts cold.

Yet:

1. It still moves around when started hot.
2. The pilot view still shakes like crazy when started cold.

Thanks Flappie - confirming too that I only tested cold, not hot.

Looks like it works in cold start and hot start now. Fantastic, love it!
