already reported Ship wake still broken.

I'd be happy to see the old wake and sea surface again... 'Old' meaning Hornet's release timeframe. ED, if you could dig out these old lines of code from Stennis and 'splice' them up on any big ship.   It wasn't perfect but compared to what we have now...

 

The old Stennis code was the same old effect use on all ships previously before ED change them.

Yep, that second vid (2.2.0).  Longer wake and the way the ripple blended with the sea surface.

A 3D model import, with a Lua with a incorrect ship size, has normal build a longer trail with the size of a supercarrier on a PTB. The Ripple blender has more realistic on the actual effect.

100% agree

Well, at last this was mostly fixed now and the triangular wave patterns are gone. The white turbulent water wake is still too short and not pronounced enough for most large ships, which can hopefully be addressed at some point.

Agreed, the new wake is much better with regard to the triangle issue.

But the lengths are still too short IMO, especially at higher speeds, there also isn't enough white to them.

Some ships have wakes that are kinda broken though, such as the Tarantul III.

They have done even more since October, especially the initial bow wave.

I think it's about 99% better than before. I really hated those triangular bow waves.  

They were terrible. Water doesn't behave that way.  

Just need to tweak the trailing wake. Make it a little longer with more white foam.

Fully agreed!

I would also like to request a longer more defined wake. For months I was having troubles lining up in case 1 landings until I heard a pilots comment. “Tuck the wake under your left arm.” Suddenly everything clicked. Except our wake, depending on map conditions can be very difficult to see.

It is literally an in-game effect so they can make it as realistic as they want it to. Just need someone to actually care and work on it. Pretty sure you could even create a mod for it, like the "better smoke" mod.

In the newer version of Taz better smoke mod there is included bigger ship wakes.

A realistic, long ship wake would make a world of difference with Case I recoveries. I really hope this will be addressed, I don't think it would be a particularly difficult fix - I may be wrong though.

Doing my part for The Cause and *bump*

Especially after watching Gonky doing Case I recoveries in a video in November and he lamented that "there isn't a wake to put under my arm".

Guys... ED just said it's on the list of things to improve. In real life, items are prioritized and implemented by impact, effort and resources. Sounds like it is lower on the priority but on the list none-the-less. In the same way that real probe and drogue effects are on the horizon, too. The reality is what we have, in terms of realistic wakes contrasted to probe and drogue, is plenty good enough to hold us over until they have the capacity to implement such improvements.

Along with Gonky's comments are that it's difficult to fly the DCS hornet because he doesn't "feel" the g forces to know how fast he's going either. The fact is this is a simulation and a desktop consumer simulation at that. We will never match 1:1 to flying the real bird. So just know you're going to have to make compromises.

Finally, no where in the notes or list of features of the Super Carrier module does it say realistic wakes. This is probably because it's a core DCS feature and has nothing to do with the module itself.

Thanks for the report, this is already reported and known, as stated, it is not specific to the Supercarrier module.
