Since I am still not totally sure how a compressed air (CA) fix could work, I want to discuss the algorithm BEFORE starting to program. This prevents me from wasting a lot of time: My idea for the fix (correct me if I am wrong):

Definition: dCA is the little amount of CA that is consumed for every depth change into surface direction.

1) The only affected dial is the depth gauge.

2) When a depth change via the depth gauge is ordered, do the following:

Check if ordered depth < current depth.

If no: Change depth
If yes:

Ckeck if speed <= 2kt

If no: Change depth
If yes:

Check if CA > dCA (is CA supply enough?)

If no: Ignore the change depth command.
If yes:

Calculate CA := CA - dCA (Subtract little amount dCA amount from CA supply)
AND
Change depth.


Is this okay?
