Could this be a minor insight for RUb 1.43?

Marhkimov · 08-09-05, 07:26 PM

I got to thinking that since RUb changes the draft of the C3 from 9m to 12m, shouldn't it also change the mast height? Default mast is 26m, but since the whole height of the ship has dropped 3m, shouldn't it be 23m? I'm not sure if I'm right, though.

But if I am right, this should make a difference because ppl using stadimeters would receive faulty readings, leading to misfires...

RUb is great btw... Just wondering... :hmm:

Good question. Beery anyone I'd like an answer too.

If it is a case of having a C3 sit lower in the water, then one presume so.

Also if the ship is lower in the water then one should presumably make similar compensation when calculating the position of the "sweet spot"?

It depends where the mast height is calculated from. Logic would suggest that since it's in the same file it would relate to sea level, but if I've learned anything over the last few years modding, it's that developers don't always make logical choices. So it could relate to the deck, which would mean that making the change would throw everything off by 3m.

If anyone can test to see if it makes a difference I'd love to hear the results so that I know I can make the change.
