SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - A simple idea on modding 'rig for silent running' command

I have thought about "silent running" awhile ago and ran some tests.
I used an additional speed dial set to 1 knot only, but the graphics was not a dial but the "run silent" command icon, it worked successfully. I read that racerboy had got the Revolution Dial to work which would be even better. Its better to set rpm to 100, as above this you can be heard and this would set max silent speed for different boat types. I thought of using the original "silent running" for shut down of auxiliary equipment only (not totally silent), useful when you are a bit further away and want to run 2 knots with less noise.
So what is needed is the rev dial set 100 min/max with a command icon graphic and attach it to the Commands_en.cfg and CE commands.
