Marketplace package name: Indiafoxtecho USS Ford/Nimitz package and other with dynamic ships (SimObject boats)
Context: Indiafoxtecho USS Ford/Nimitz MSF2020 installed in the MSFS2024 Community folder
Bug description: Our package has a number of military SimObject boats. Carriers seem to behave correctly, but other ships have a VASTLY exaggerated vertical movement.
In the attached image, the ship goes up to several meters above the waves (or sinks several meters below the wave).
Repro steps:
USS Ford package - dynamic ships can be found close to the coast from Miramar MCAS airport.
+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?
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.
We don’t have a fix yet but we know a bit more about the cause of the issue.
You are likely using an element like AttachedWorldObject to attach your different escort ships to the carrier.
This causes escort ships to be impacted by the carrier’s pitch and roll angles. Back in 2020, the carrier pitch and roll would not be impacted by swell but this is no longer the case in 2024.
We are unsure how this could be addressed properly for now, so I can’t give any ETA on a fix.
I’ll update this thread as soon as I have more information.
