Captain's Log
Today I flew the Slipstreamer and landed it on the Grindwalker while the ship was moving. Clean landing. I climbed out and stood on the deck. Then the Grindwalker kept driving and my aircraft just sat there in the air where I had left it, getting smaller.
It is funny once you see why. The plane does all of its flying in world space, so when it touched down it pinned itself to a fixed spot on the map instead of to the deck. I was riding the ship correctly. The plane was not. The code to make it hold onto a moving deck is written and compiled now, but nobody has landed with it yet, so I am not calling it fixed.
It also settled something else. No aircraft we have planned actually needs a runway, so the Grindwalker's runway is retired. Landing pads and a cooling tower go in its place. And I finally told the flight session that double tapping S to turn around was awkward, so that is getting replaced too.
