Final Pre-release Pitch Video Poll (I promise :)

[panthercules]

OK - with testing well underway and no real problems detected yet (fingers still crossed), and with the release of the new ROW add-on update (way to go ROW team - looks awesome!!!), I've got one last set of Pitch test videos I'd like folks to take a look at and vote on if you have time.

This one is a little more complicated. First, there are 3 videos to compare, and second, I'm looking for two different votes - one on the way the boat looks in its motion, and one on the way the water looks.

For those who can, please view all 3 videos, then pick TWO CHOICES in the poll - first, which of the 3 did you like the boat movement best in, and second, which of the 3 did you like the water best in.

"Take 1" video is here:



"Take 2" video is here:



"Take 3" video is here:




If all goes well, depending on the poll results and the testing results (testers still welcome BTW - PM me if you're interested), I should have Panther's Pitch Mod ready for release by this weekend.

Thanks for the help

Great Stuff I liked the boat in video 2 the best; they all look great though. Can't wait to try this one out

Prefered both water and pitch in video 3.

But i saw some strange effects in the takes you presented, at some points in all the videos there was somehow a ''time warp'' wich caused the environment to freeze and resume. Does it also appears in your game?

LOL - no - that's a FRAPS artifact of gluing together short videos into a longer one (still using the trial version that only takes short vids - guess I ought to upgrade to one that will let me take longer videos if I'm going to keep at this stuff). I should have explained that I guess - it looks fine in game.

Hi,

Difficult to say 2 or 3 ... well, i would say 3, both for boat and sea

[DavyJonesFootlocker]

Gimmie! Gimmie! Gimmie! I don't care which one. Anything is better than flying through the air or 'Hanging 10' on a surfboard.

I think the boat in #2 and ,ocean #3 which is what I voted. I think its very good, If what I mentioned in my PM yesterday could be figured out, it would be as real as it gets. Keep up the good work

I liked boat #2 and water #3. The Boat in take 3 is a runner-up, but I am prone to vertigo and the boat's roll might set me a-spinning (SH4 is as close to real ocean travel as I'll ever be willing to get!). I'd rather get 'pretty close to real' than 'sick all over my keyboard'.

Boat #3 is my fav for pitch+roll. I believe that it'd be better to err on the side of the dramatic.

What sea state and wind speed am I looking at, and how many knots is the boat making. Although I want to go with the #3 "wild and wooly" ride; is there any RL data on how these boats behaved in these seas.

I have only been on the ocean in "small" craft <puke>....so I have no frame of reference. I am thinking that something (GATO Class) that is what 100 yards long and weights 1500 tons and moving along at 10-15 knots may have some sea-keeping abilitities???, I know round bottom.

Water-wise, I really like #3, I am assuming that all three sea states and wind speeds are the same? So ocean #3 is really nice.

Nice work!
