How is the depth of the craft being calculated ? Is there some weight and underdeck volume function ? ... or just a depth-constant ?
And how about influences of really long ships as an tanker ? They are slightly "slower" to react to the surface-wather doe to theyr mass ...
There's an approximate volume-defining shape that's configured in the chassis parameters, will add docs to the wiki. Slower to react - that's automatic because of inertia, but there are also extra dampening coefficients for each direction + angular dampening.

We can't make aircrafts float yet, only vehicles now? Would be nice to make Shavrov-2 float.
Not yet, until Angrypig figures out how to do it in JSBSim ...

I noticed, and we probably don't have them yet because they're probably a bit buggy still. I may of read Cameni say it was glitched or needed work, and that's the only reason I could think of why they wouldn't give us the clouds yet.
