Home Made Sub Sim control system

Hey everyone, I have a question, actually a bit of a strange one. One thing I have noticed in most sub sims or at least silent hunter, sub command the user can insert way points or manually drive the boat to a fashion. All these flight simulators all can be controlled with a joy stick and in FSX or others a like you can get Saitek ProFlight set up and really put your self behind the wheel. Well the idea of a sub is controlled the same way really. Rudder, planes (flaps), engine speed. altitude (depth) etc etc etc. Even Ship simulator has a kinda modular control service which has the right idea.

what about using the same thing sorta for a sub. the instrument clusters would not work as vertical horizon has a plane on it but maybe the altimeter would ok and a few others of the cluster units but the yoke and pedals as well as the throttle systems.




I just thought that it would be cool to not only control the boat and do all the stuff we love about sub sims in general to actually taking command of the helm and taking the sub sim world to the next level.
