Lockheed-Martin's Prepar3D takes it a step farther and models the topography below the waves, but I digress. So, I am looking for a usable submarine to "fly" below the surf which will probably need someone who uses FSX/P3D.


If you have any curiosity or questions, I will be glad to help if I can. FYI - one watercraft I have used is a model of the HMS Bounty. Yes, that is a square-rigger sailing vessel which is actually powered by the simulated winds in FSX and it works! There is also a simulated "bubble" sextant which I used for an almost 700nm voyage across open ocean from Corpus Christi, TX to the Florida Keys.

Oh! I really like your signature quote.

Sounds cool. I would love to get FSX if I had 150 gb of avalible space, lol.
And thanks! I feel in love with Run Silent Run Deep. Very, very good movie.
