@MintLynx link it!
@mufasa6896 I have completed the Gotland! And it's awesome.
@mufasa6896 It is! And is probably the best method of making control surfaces for subs!
@MintLynx omg that is awsome!!
@mufasa6896 https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/Jf6NR2/I-Just-discover-this-glitch Nope :)
@MintLynx does it not rescale the wing surface area/control surface when u scale the wing down?
@mufasa6896 I'm actually getting some promising results on my pistonless Gotland ;) Along with the XML modded internal fuselages I've used massive wings xml modded down to size for the control surfaces. I'd suggest giving that a try, along with increasing the weight/size of your sub exponentially of course.
@MintLynx Credit where credit is due, i got my prop design from the genius who made this https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/27tE22/Dive-and-Hunt-U-96-U-Boat-Type-VIIC . Although i added some changes and the double rotator to work better in the water. Ill have to check the piston "sinkers" then if gesture dosn't have the time to make the variable buoyancy fuselage or add weight. Just experimenting rn as subs are in their infancy in terms of building meta and what methods seem to work the best for what you want.
@mufasa6896 Strangely enough I haven't had that problem, though that's probably because of how heavy my subs are. Generally in the 100k to 1 million range. I've acutally been working on making my gotland able to 'fly' through the water through giving it internal fuselages xml modded as close to neutral buyancy as possible. There's actually a submarine that I've found seems capable of maneuvering through the water more like a submarine https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/n54940/G-2-Simple-Surveillance-submarine-AIP It funny enough has a rotator engine as well, though I think yours is much better. ^^
@MintLynx I asked him and he said maybe. it seems similar enough to what he made for the android version of buoyancy that he could do it relatively easily, however that is just me speculating. I also inquired about a zero buoyancy cockpit as the current one prevents stuff from sinking properly and the only work around is doing what i do and ejecting the cockpit and using a camera as the way to view what is going on
@mufasa6896 I see your point, that would be awesome! Hopefully that mod will come from Gestour in time.
@MintLynx yes, but it is not that realistic, would rather have a variable bouyancy block as that alows the sub to "fly" in the water instead of being stuck at the level the pistons are set at
I installed the engine of this thing on my Gotland and it works really well! Are you aware of the piston and Fuselage method people use for submerging submarines?
