"Caterpillar" drive system

Gibbs1 · 05-23-12, 04:18 AM

I want to make my sub running without rotating propellers like in the movie "Hunt for Red October"

I've added a Hydrogen peroxide propulsion and i want to stop the propellers.

Would be great if anyone knows how to do this.

Ok, i now so far that the Hydrogen peroxide propulsion works with

rpm 1,0

But there is a new problem. When i activate the caterpillar engine, the sub accelerates to 300 kn and flying up and down. When it surfaces speed is reducing to normal.

Help

EDIT: By running on the caterpillar engine, destroyers can't hear me. "They tremble at the sound of our silence!"

Ok, i've got a solution for the problem. You have to stop normal engines before activating the caterpillar engine. Then everything works.

If anyone has another solution, feel free to share.
