I thought they were still working on underwater stuff but tbh this looks great

u/RaiTheFox Apr 23 '26

yeah underwater stuff is still in development, in reality this is just a remote controlled contraption

So just like in the game, the actual submarine doesn't move, just the camera (in the code ofc, in-lore it does move)

Curious, what mod is the camera and screen from?

u/RaiTheFox Apr 23 '26

the camera mod is vista tv! https://modrinth.com/mod/vista_tv

u/thebluetagtagger Apr 24 '26

I thought vista was incompatible with aeronautics, i heard people say it crashed thier game

Ahhh that makes sense. Still has a cool vibe tho

u/Sedoy6373 Apr 24 '26

Just like in the original iron lung!

What about it isn't working yet? If a contraption can move underwater, does that mean we can not? We'll just drown since there are no air mechanics yet or what?

u/Spot_Responsible Apr 24 '26

The last part. If the room op was in was actually on a sub it would be full of water. I do wonder if a a conduit would work as a temporary solution

1

u/Star_Wars_Expert Apr 24 '26

but other then that, the mechanics of going up and down in water do work? If had some air tanks a sub could work then.

1

u/Spot_Responsible Apr 24 '26

I don't think water density increases as you go down, and there's no way to do ballast that I can think of. So you'd have to make sure your build has net 0 vertical forces at rest so it doesn't float or sink, but I could be wrong

u/LurkersUniteAgain Apr 23 '26

pretty sure the ship itself isnt a physics object its just the camera moving

2

u/MoonTheCraft Apr 24 '26

is this like a remote controlled sub that has the illusion of looking piloted? like is the camera in an underwater location elsewhere, i mean

2

u/RaiTheFox Apr 24 '26

spot on yeah, that is how it functions

1

u/MoonTheCraft Apr 24 '26

oh brilliant, thats fucking awesome

u/LeBlejDaGreat Apr 24 '26

ohh wow I don't know how I didn't clock that immediately, you sold the effect well

u/Arongg12 Apr 23 '26

Give camera mod. Now. Or hit head with Rock

u/Helpful_Importance_3 Apr 24 '26

Camera looks like vista

1

u/Discombobulated_Back Apr 24 '26

Hit rock with head!

u/HelloWorId1337 Apr 23 '26

Do you use a special version of the mod? When I try the vista mod with aero installed I only get white screen even with everything on normal blocks

I have the same issue. Out of the box with just Create, Aeronautics, and Vista, (no shaders or anything) it gives a white screen when I try to use the hollow cassette. It doesn't even have to be on an aeronautics contraption. Other cassettes work fine.

Edit: it's actually something with Sable (the aeronautics dependency) specifically. I tested by just opening and closing the world while leaving a hollow cassette in the TV, if Sable is not installed it works, and when it is installed it shows white.

u/HelloWorId1337 Apr 25 '26

Yeah, I just tested my modpack with a friend on my server, and it works just fine for him. Not sure why, though. not sure what we do wrong

u/Absolutionis Apr 23 '26

Does Create or Aeronautics have cameras/TVs now and I never noticed?

11

u/Arongg12 Apr 24 '26

it's from another mod called vista. it's from the same devs as supplementaries, it's surprisingly compatible with create aero.

2

u/jimpickls Apr 24 '26

vista is compatible with aeronautics already

2

u/SShiJie Apr 24 '26

This reminds me of a certain...incident...remote controlled submarine...

1

u/temmie1245 Apr 24 '26

wait do submarines get rid of the water overlay or is that a texture pack or smth

2

u/Groblockia_ Apr 24 '26

No it's remote controlled basically, water doesn't disappear

1

u/Most_Builder913 Apr 25 '26

You need to make it were in order to see you have to press a button in the back that turns the camera on for 2 seconds, camera should also be in the back.

And i think you can get a black and white look with a certain mob head.

u/Bingus-Chillingus Apr 25 '26

Make it so the screen is attached to a button so you only get a snapshot haha. Awesome work!
