Aquatic systems with 1.1.2 compatibility.

[Rushligh]

I've been messing around with some boat designs, and I'm wondering if anybody knows any boat/sumbarine mods that ahve been updated? im looking for engines, blasts, keels, etc.

using jets doesn't work very will in 1.1.x due to the water collision mechanics and the massive smoke screen it makes. rocket fuel is to heavy. im hoping for some kind of propeller that provides extremely high torque, (or just really high thrust at very low atmosphere). as for sinker/balasts, does anybody know of any automated ballast control mod? i used to use some with 1.0.5 and i had to fill them manually... it was a total mess.

Actually, the Otter Submarine has all kinds of goodies on it for underwater shenanigans (including ballast tanks)

i tried using it before and i've had some serious issues with it (casue crashes at game loading, 0 thrust, 0 lift/control surface effect) . not to mention i prefer making my own custom designed out of mk2/3/opt hulls. this may have to do with compatibility with other mods i have installed? im not certain.

Ill try it out again and let you know if i run into the same bugs.

Crashes were likely memory pressure.  And RCS/SAS only works underwater - re-enable them once you splash down.

>memory issue.
i run x64. 16gb 3gb graphics. not memory.

The sub works as a stand alone but i find it doesn't really work combines with other stuff. i want a BIGGER sub.
