Can we control this in some way?

+1 to this. Ships sway in the ocean (cool!) but makes it incredibly difficult to stay in the deck, and its very unrealistic for a ship of this size. Is there a variable to define the mass of the ship to dampen the movement?

@EPellissier Is there any way of controlling boat sway? (eg. defining the size of the ship, or the mass?)

@EPellissier I see that the bug is logged but wasn’t fixed on SU1. Any idea when it may be fixed?

The ship movement is very glitchy in high waves. Sometimes they jump up or down. If an aircraft is landed on the ship, it will fly off or fall through the deck.

@EPellissier Bump - any updates on this?

@vantech,

Apologies for not responding to your earlier pings.

No progress on this that I am aware of - since the bug is logged I’ll check its status on our system tomorrow morning (I am in the train right now).

Best regards,

Eric / Asobo
