Never seen before in FSX©* !  A ship landing pad is moving in accordance with pitch and roll movements induced by swell !. The vessel is rolling up to an 8° amplitude and  pitching up to 4° and 5°.

Under bad weather conditions, concentration will be needed to complete a full  approach and landing. Once landed, your helicopter will tend to slide on the pad according to the ship moves. Even if virtual, your situation will be close to reality.
