ohh btw - it supports skinzip..
but a minor bug in ROR will kill the videocamera as soon as a non-default skin is selected..
the videocamera works only with the default skin!
sorry..

the fish swims automatically by using triggers..
the steering is bad - true story.
the speed is slow
To steer, the best is to use manual tail controlls and use them asymetrically - that turns it..
it can dive quite deep . but it does not like ground collision while the triggers are working..
The Balancing is adequate - it can hold it's depth quite well if you adjust the density/SideFins with gentle consideration..
Don't come and say "it can't do anything but swimm and dive" - it's a fish - what would you expect?
LOL

This is a POC "Proofe Of Concept" - NOT a seriouse vehicle..
If you run into any trouble with it, or have questions about it's functionality, follow the link below to the forum thread.
DS9 Off Shore Crane - Science Research & Salvage
Belongs to the DS9 Submarine!
It features:
- a 2-bridged overhead crane on the water
- sidewarts extendable main booms to unload onto the land
- a car/cargo deck that can lock down loads and cars.
- a car ramp to drive on/off with vehicles..
- hooks that go under water to pick up sunken ships or loads
- side-thrusters for better manuverability
- underwater flares to see what you lift at night..
it can lift/transport/unload at least 70 tons!
I haven't tried heavier stuff..
This Crane is opensource - do with it as you like..
Submarine Deep Sea 9 - or DS9
For Science and Research..
speed: ~16kn
divedepth: all the way down to 30 meters and beyond..
features:
- crane arm to salvage crates, cars and other stuff.. - I lifted 1.7 tons with it.. probbably goes more..
- cockpit with 4 windows to see, what is around under the water..
- trailer-interface - is needed to load it on a trailer for land transport
- some nodes to lift it with a crane - you need something like Demag ZKKE
- tower-camera
- periscope-camera
the zip contains:
- submarine DS9
- 3 FPS versions with reduced quality or even removed some cameras - made a lot difference..
- trailer-interface
Maps release pending - WIP:
Submarine World 10 - The Ocean 2 (discussion here: The-Ocean-2), Submarine Cave 01 - The Maze
check the forum thread for updates
This submarine is open source - do with it as it pleases you..

This pack includes the 'Atlas' class tugboat for Rigs of Rods (version 0.38.67) and 3 different unpropelled barges designed to work with the tug.
The Atlas tug features:
- Nav Lights (Ctrl+1)
- A pair of rear hooks (F9/F10) designed to link to the barges (L).
- A main hook (F11/F12) that can link to most other loads or boats (also L).
- 4 skins
- Works with the .skinzip system
The barges feature:
- An empty generic barge (100 tons)
- A loaded bulk barge (425 tons)
- A liquid goods barge (300 tons)
- Pairs of hooks on each end (F1/F2 and F3/F4) that can link to the tug or other barges
- If two barges are lined up and close enough to one another, they will link automatically (Alt+L to unlink)
FIX
Liquid goods barges wouldn't link to one another. If you downloaded before this fix, please replace your old Atlas-n-barges folder with this one. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Here's a quick tutorial of how to best dock the tug with a barge:
- Spawn a barge and an Atlas tug and line up with a barge. That should get you used to the tug's controls. Keep an easy hand on the steering wheel, she's slightly nervous.
- Extend your rear hooks a bit (F10), that'll make things easier. Not too much though.
- Add some reverse throttle and back up towards the barge slowly and carefully. Keep an easy hand on the throttle.
- If you're really close to the barge (and still lined up), bring the tug to a halt. Once stopped, hit "L" and wait for the ropes to link up.
- Now extend your rear hooks further for some safety margin between the Atlas and the barge. Congratulations, you're ready to go.
If you want to release a mod of the Atlas or barges, follow 2 simple rules:
- Credit the original author (or authors, if you're modding a mod)
- NO conflicts with the original version! Change all material names, mesh names, texture names, give it an all-new UID and GUID.
If you just want to make a skin for the Atlas or barges, make a *.skinzip. After all, that's precisely what the system was designed for. The good news is you won't have to worry about conflicts with the original.
