submarine buoyancy simulator

greyrider · 06-26-06, 07:07 PM

just browsing the internet today, and i came across this site.
awhile back there was a thread about "hovering".
this little sim demonstrates the trim and drain systems of a submarine,
and was made by a subsim member, or wpl member, XabbaRus.
test your hovering abilities by draining and triming the ballast and trim tanks .
i got the sub straight and level at 90 feet.
it would have stayed there forever once it was trimmed.

I found the instructions sorely lacking. But yes, nice little game.

in this little sim. Just try and in the beginning, before taking any water in, just pump both bow and stern trim tanks to the main ballast tank and take a look what gonna happen... At least not what you would think... :rotfl:
