    Aw no, the elite vanguards update today has killed the motion.
    Hopefully @Wagnard can work his magic again

    Thanks for your time @Wagnard
    Now that I have retired from working I'm trying to learn to use CE to find pointers etc (in case, God forbid, anything happens to you). I've looked back at the vids on page 1 and yours on page 4.
    Is roll still 1.77 (for counter-clockwise) and -1.77 for CW. Your vid on page 4 is quite old now and I believe was back in Horizons days.
    Would be good to see a new process vid from start to finish for finding just roll settings. I looked back at all the XML's for last 5 game updates since Dec 2024 (for ship moves) and only offset_0 changes (i.e 19th August it was 05DA18EO). All other offsets (1 to 4) for all ship moves are identical.
    I understand the hex subtractions of last offset_4 for pitch, heave etc and I can see they are in place on each .xml.
    Just need to be sure I can find the correct address for roll, do several pointer maps to find the correct pointer and offsets to match what you find for a working .xml

    Yep it is still 1.77
    But it's way easier to find the pitch with the SRV because they show it on screen. That's how I did it today. I use the training with SRV, once found the address, I pointer search if the last offset I knew before and it usually return 1 result. I then took the updated (Base offset) 05Da... and replaced it for everything (including the ship).

    Usually this work. On big update, it's possible the offset changes, but then it's more complicated to find them.
    Happily the offsets rarely change; But when they do, it's harder to find them.
    I know I found the goods one or almost when the same (base offset) work for everything.
    I'll maybe try to redo another vid.
