Classic British Flight Sim

Flag Officer Sea Training.. now there's a title to conjure with!!

Within a couple of hours being onboard Oberon.. his staff have simulated fires, floods, NBC attack, medical emergencies and any number of mechanical failures culminating in a tow and helo transfer!!






Happy days.. NOT!

Interesting shots Dave. Nice to see something a bit different.

Cheers me dears

By their very nature.. submarines aren't particularly interesting on the outside. They're either big, medium or small and black!! I got the opportunity to take a short trip on a Polaris boat many moons ago. It was doing DSRV exercises with the American rescue sub 'Avalon' piggy-backed on the rear. Now that was interesting on the inside!! At around 7,500t.. it was a similar size to a County Class DLG The old 'R' boats had a nice profile too

That isdifferent, Dave.

Now, about that towing....did you just give the two ships a very close AI track, or do you have an actual option to tow?

Hi Mike

Using AI tracks.. you could probably get away with it although if it had a number of turns.. you're likely to end up with an extended tow. Not sure what would happen on the return either. That was setup using AICarriers

Those pictures make me wonder - as P3DV2 has 'bathymetry', can A.I. submarines be made to submerge and surface ?

Hi Paul..

I would imagine so. Pilotable submarines can dive and surface in FSX though I'm not sure how you'd make an AI sub do the same.
