My english is bad so sometimes I don't understand the technical terms.
But I read this thread and some interesting points there: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=167173

Google translate mean this is "Querschiffs" in german.
Maybe it could be translated back to english.

Just curious.... but in these ship data files, are there any references to a variable or characteristic called metacenter or metacentric height?
In RL, metacentric height (the distance between the metacenter - the intersection of a vertical line drawn through a vessel's displaced center of buoyancy (such as when heeled) - and the center of gravity) is the characteristic that defines a vessel's stability. Transverse (the actual term the OP was looking for I think) metacentric height determines lateral or roll stability, while longitudinal metacentric height determines pitch (fore and aft motion) stability. The term "athwartship", BTW, typically refers to the placement or orientation of an object in, on, or around a vessel. JD |
