Pitch Testing Renewed - New videos to watch

panthercules · 01-14-08, 02:46 AM

Decided to resume my testing of settings to try to induce a more pleasing (and hopefully realistic-looking) pitching motion of the player's submarine.

As with the earlier tests, I have uploaded a couple of videos depicting a couple of different approaches - if you have time and inclination, it would be very helpful if you could take a couple of minutes to watch the 2 videos (about 1 minute each) and then vote in the poll to say which one you like better.

Take 1 can be found here:

Take 2 can be found here:

Thanks for your help.

Version 2 get's my vote by a long way because there is noticeable Pitch and Roll. The first one is just alot of Roll (side to side) and very little Pitch. Personally, in big seas I'd like to see the boat pitch so dramatically that the bow [and Stern] breaks the horizon from the bridge's P.O.V.

On another matter, is the T.D.T. on American Subs not gyroscopically balanced like it is on the U-Boats? 'Cos mine certainly doesn't behave like it.

definately take 2 looks better, to much roll in the first one and not enough pitch.

Speaking as an ex sailor vers 2 is the one without a doubt, this mod looks real nice, was wondering if you have any idea how to make more realistic spray and surge around conning tower, deck gun and other deck structures when the sub dives and surfaces.

At present theres only a bit of spray and foam around the conning tower when you dive I cant help feeling this needs beefing up a bit

My two cents worth Vers 2 without a doubt

Version 2 by a mile.

Both made me feel seasick

Another vote for #2: it has more vertical movement than the first, and thus feels more realistic.

Take 2. Looks more natural. Maybe the roll is a wee bit too much, but that's just my personal opinion. Looks great overall!

this will be no surprise i think: number two is the best to my opinion.
