Cavemanhead Posted April 22 Posted April 22 Does anyone know if the carrier deck in DCS can pitch as in the YT video below (reference at 2:10)? Would be great to see this added at some point... Very cool video too - "made from scratch".

In order to increase swell, you will need to increase the wind (significantly). Unfortunately DCS doesn't cater for the concept that swells aren't necessarily caused by local conditions, (IRL they can be developed by conditions thousands of kms away where they can build up), so at present in DCS - the amount of swell (hence deck pitch) you have will be directly proportional to the amount of surface wind that you have in DCS. Turn up the wind significantly (at the surface) to the max and you should see a bit of pitch on the bow. Then adjust back until you get your desired result.

The only problem I have found with this is that once the wind is sufficiently high to get a pitching deck, it makes landing on the carrier all but impossible........? 1 System specs: PC1 :Scan 3XS Ryzen 5900X, 64GB Corsair veng DDR4 3600, EVGA GTX 3090 Win 10, Quest Pro, Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo monitor.

It's possible to land with those very high winds, but you are right - increasing wind to the required values for decent swell creates other complications - and it isn't realistic for the swell to be directly tied to the local winds - which is why I'd love to see an option for the swell to be de-coupled from the wind and be set using a separate parameter. I could have sworn this was in the 'wish list' from years ago - and I've been waiting for it, but I did a quick search and couldn't find one, so guess I was wrong. So I've created a new wish list topic here: Edited April 22 by Dangerzone 4
