For example, this would need to contain basic parameters:
1. Ship length, against which, software can
position both bow and stern wakes
2. Cat on/off
3. Deck height
4. Ramp start position
5. Arrestor wire position
6. Catch net position (we don't want to write
off £800,000 of F35 parked on the deck of a
modern carrier)
7. The ability to import a custom catapult, e.g.
for a cruiser/battleship or armed
merchantman CAM ship. Nice to have a
Kingfisher launched from the back of USS
Missouri or a Walrus from HMS Belfast.
3. Geographical start co-ordinates so we con override the
default location; this could also be applied to seaplanes.
If enough people start taking about this, maybe Laminar
will improve matters, or maybe it's possible to write a 3rd
party plugin?
I just love the Brit' calling the "Ball Bar" & "Wave Orft".
Happy landing shipmates.
