20,000 Leagues under the sea.
This started as a joke in answer to all the sailing ships that were appearing and has become a real sim add-on.
You can have either a player 'aircraft' by putting the Nautilus folder in the aircraft directory or you can have an AI ship by putting the folder in the ship directory but first swapping the ship cfg for the aircraft one ( or both ).
In the player version you will need the panel from Virtual Navy's USS Gato ( available at SOH ). I didn't attempt a panel when there was such a first class one ready made.
The Nautilus submerges by hitting your canopy key ( watch the aft hatch ). I figured out how to make it dive from the USS Gato ( back engineering fom VN's original great idea. )
To survive ramming your enemy you need to make 'player invincible' in the settings. The credit for figuring this goes to Tango Romeo of SOH - I didn't know.
Because the Nautilus is an 'aircraft' to the game you need an aircraft carrier to take off from - TR's Invisible tender ( at SOH ) is the thing.
The fx file makes the 'eyes' of the Nautilus glow in the dark - another touch by TR.
And because I've included a mission ( copied from the Gato ) you'll need TR's Screw Frigate (at SOH ) as well. So what started as a wheeze has involved work by a lot of people - my thanks to them all.
