If I guessed correctly and that’s the F710, guess what: You’re either using XInput (the recommended option) or loving DirectInput which I would use to play LEGO Island. Not via configuration file, oh no. A hardware switch on the gamepad.

loving XInput on a 2.5mi deep submersible, that I didn’t trust with NES emulators over a decade ago enough to build an Arduino interface instead.

If I was running the tour company I would have only taken the sub a hundred feet underwater and then lied about how deep it went. The people inside are watching everything through a camera anyways it would be so easy.

I like the part where he brag's(?) about it not having any buttons or anything and it's all ~~touch screen~~. Wanna bet a passenger spilled a drink or pissed on it and hosed it all up? And on the GPS/Duh stupid, it doesn't WORK underwater! thing. Not have some kind of sonar distress signal/beacon you could activate and drop/float up? I'm sure you could of cheaped out like the rest of the sub and used those underwater pool speakers somehow.

If there's anything that should take a lot of skill it should be piloting a sub 4 km down under crushing pressure to gawk at a shipwreck with tons of things to snag on. I want skill for that. Lots of skills. High level skills for the thing that, if done incorrectly, will implode me.

Like, when I was six years old I hobbled together poo poo from grandpa’s junk barn to make a cool vehicle: a lawnmower body, a baby carriage sunshade thing, a basket to hold toys in, and I feel like even though it was complete bullshit to push ourselves around in we at least were at par with this thing.

I am genuinely trying to understand why these people were doing this... The window is clearly useless given they located it in front of the piss and poo poo storage pot, the wreckage is already extensively documented, at best they are viewing the wreckage on some small, Best Buy on-sale medium quality displays... They were paying to be in proximity to where a bunch of people died horribly over a century ago until it sunk to the sea floor? Why?

This one’s surprising because it seems like the company makes the people paying $250k a pop work as “mission specialists”. That sounds like something you can train careless FYGM rich people in a few days to avoid hiring quality assurance/safety audit/people that gently caress with the submersible instead. It’s like $250k is worth it for that type of person to play “guys in the 20-40 minutes into the movie range” of the Titanic movie, they’re all goofing around with clones of the gem necklace from the movie and poo poo. gently caress

My mind keeps lingering on how there are no chairs or seats. They sit on the floor like kindergartners. It's not part of a sexy explorer/adventurer image. The ALVIN has a little seat and benches to take your positions on, not to mention tons of dials and gauges and poo poo, but this is the total visual antithesis of what an explorer's vessel should look like. It's not right, and I would presume that would put off anyone with half a functioning brain to not get into it.

Commander Jebus posted:While I don't know this for sure as I haven't seen any detailed specs for groversub, pretty much every other commercial submersible built has an emergency deballast system of some kind. Its normally a manual mechanical linkage that will drop the heavy main battery or other ballast weight out of the bottom, making the submarine positively buoyant causing it to rapidly rise to the surface. The advantage of these systems is that they will work without power, propulsion or electrics of any kind. Once the sub gets to the surface it should have a S/EPIRB (Radio beacon) that would point rescuers right to it, and hopefully it would have hard points to crane in on to the deck of a ship.

CSM posted:One of the way the submersible can rise is by the dropping the ballast which consist of construction pipes, and the passengers need to rock the ship to the side to make them fall. Bluetooth is good enough for critical life safety systems & navigation, but apparently not good enough for triggering a servo outside the sub to drop the construction pipes (wtf) ballast Blow posted:Does anyone understand exactly how the submersible communicates with the surface ship? Literally anyone, including people on both vessels? Probably not.
