Default Slow Roll

Most likely been said somewhere, someplace but what the .........

I've always found it a bit annoying how all the ships seem to be a bit "stiff" ie: rolling and coming very quickly upright like toys on a pond. I therefore increased the gc_height in NS_Uboat7c_sim (for example) using Mini Tweaker to 3.1 and now the sub rolls long and slow, especially when beam on to a swell. (that's a smiley being seasick by the way). I guessed that gc_height means center of gravity height, and raised it to make the ship more "tender".

Have also increased other ships by a factor of around 1.3 (ie 1.3 x original gc_height) and the ship rolls look much more realistic. Don't increase too much otherwise the ships will capsize

That sounds kinda interesting MLF

If you play GWX when it's released you'll find all of that's been taken care of

Good Hunting
