Deep Sea Explorer
Deep Sea Explorer is a fully functional submarine with working instrumentation that can dive down to almost any depth. The Screws really work, no hidden thrusters ore anything. You will need the ocean mod https://www.simpleplanes.com/Mods/View/1264604/Ocean by @Gestour
and the Sp-Extra mod
https://www.simpleplanes.com/Mods/View/1373209/SP-Extra by @BigBushy to make full use of the craft.
How to operate:
F5 for cockpit view (Best to switch the HUD off with F9) ,
F6 to F8 for more cameras.
AG1 to switch everything on. AG2 for the lights.
THTOTTLE: go forward.
BRAKE: go backward.
VTOL up or ROLL right to go up. VTOL down or ROLL left to go down.
YAW to turn left or right.

VTOL and PITCH allow you to keep the craft at a certain depth or keep it level.
When the speed is abt 8 km/h or more, you can “fly” the submarine through the water.
