Calling all Sub Hunters to The Sub-committee

Nice! Looking very promising!
Maybe some snorkels with wake available? Just to have something small for the observers on board to look out for?

Cheers,

Seawing
 
Very nice!

This will be a cool addon.


In case you do not know, Prepar3D has submarines capability. Even comes with a sub you can run in the sim.



Bill
 
YES!!!

And if there's a chance for some Cold War era Whiskey, Echo, or Kilo tubs, I'd be all over it!!!

Will there be ready-made traffic.bgls, or just the ships and we add them to AICarriers? Might be nice if there was some tracks to/from the main Soviet naval bases and say, Cuba, or Egypt, etc. Or from the main NATO sub bases to a few prominent world cities, in the case of the NATO ones you've done up. Just a thought.

Eagerly awaiting these, for sure!

Sign me up too!

Do they have multiple LOD?

Do they dive and surface occassionally (by using an annimation for the whole model, perhaps with a periscope part which extends and retracts too)?

Are they landable??!!

Thinking of realistic long-distance helo missions, can they have liftable objects attached (e.g. for lifting urgent medevac cases off the casing in a stretcher)?
 
Brilliant news, Laz!

I'll be happy any which way they arrive. The advantage of a traffic bgl is they'd run independantly of any AICarriers session you have for your carriers (I am not aware of being able to have multiple AI carrier sessions open).

Anyway, they look awesome. I like them surfaced like that - they look smart, and allows the detail to be visible. I can see the appeal of landability (Hunt for Red October, anyone?) , beyond that, I don't know if too many more animations yield dimishing returns for what is essentially an AI boat. Looking forward to these for sure!

Cheers,

Lazarus,

Have you seen the Type 212 new U-Boots from Germany? Some wild designs. The German military edition has a very cool Hydrogen fuel cell power system in it. It can run submerged for a very long time.

The 212's are slick little boats. The Italians have a similar AIP SSKin service, with a natty aquamarine cam job. These are all simple objects, no animations. Good for AI and eye candy, but MDLX format, and freeware. And I messed up the types- short on sleep this week. So
(1)Front to back. Typhoon SSBN, Delta IV SSBN, Oscar III SSGN, Akula(from AvSimRus, but a few Akula I's and II's on the way) and Mike SSN
(2)front to back Mike, Akula, OscarIII, DeltaIV, Typhoon.(3)Kilo and Foxtrot SSK(still needs work, but I like it).(4)Typhoon close up(big!)(5) Gato ( riding a bit low). (6)JMSDF Uzushio class SSK (7) Permit class SSK.(8) Ohio class SSBN
