Underwater Scenery

[signal sinew]

I don't know how feasible this is, but I'd like some underwater scenery for submarines (and subs only, so hopefully it doesn't lag the plane players) so I have a reason to use them than for collecting purposes. Something like, coral reefs, plane/boat wrecks, whale bones, seaweed, etc

I smell something fun to do with flying Leduc 022s underwater

But then there's the Roblox memory cap. Which is why Udyanapura got delayed & everytime Roblox emergency-reverts memory caps, sceneries had to be deleted.

we dont even have a seafloor yet

but maybe in aeronautica 2

[uncut radish]

Most likely the only thing that could be added for the time being is a basic ocean floor, due to the size of the map. And maybe a few easter eggs, but those would be very difficult to find...

[signal sinew]

I'd like to see an oceangate easter egg

pineapple rock and moai

About the seafloor, you guys have a problem with memory limit right? Does it save more and less tedious if it was similar to the visual waves that follows the player?

I meant a seafloor that follows the submarine?

[uncut radish]

Hmm it's possible

the other way is a single massive plate, that instead of collisions has max depth coded in

add another juan pointing at anhedral

[near marsh]

no more horsing around

I think dev hidden shipwrecks would be super cool. Some may even go undiscovered by the player base for months or even years.

Was already planned on the trello

[oak tundra]

Lag 3000

Also if shipwrecks are added, there should be some kind of sign on the surface of the water; be it bubble columns, life rafts, or debris

Because without a location and no sonar, finding shipwrecks with no indication is literally impossible

[agile swan]

That’s what makes them special

[oak tundra]

it would actually be impossible to find

200x200nmi area to search for a 400ft long object with zero visual markings, no sonar, and the ability to only see a thousand or so feet

[agile swan]

Say there’s 25+ spread about

So that increases the likelihood by 25%

[uncut radish]

It's actually 25x higher, but "25 x nearly zero" is still nearly zero

[pale shadow]

reminds me of the perseus quest

except the DSS map is like 15 nmi in side

and it took like 2 years to find the wreck

[uncut radish]

You know what would be nice? A sonar that detects underwater objects within a wide area

[oak tundra]

YES

[near marsh]

crates :]

[vagrant wolf]

We got underwater AWACS before animated flaps GTA 6

[pale shadow]

we're not getting animated flaps

[vagrant wolf]

you kinda missed the joke but whatevs

[pale shadow]

[tiny canyon]

Like it but lagggggggggggggg

[west crater]

it could have depth variations

i think a decent way to do it is to make the ocean floor a mesh or be designed in a super low poly manner

i don't believe people when they say that it'd hurt the game too much in terms of server memory since there are sooo many ways to circumvent that

[oak tundra]

Actual hell

[west crater]

joke flew over your head like a plane holy shit

[pale shadow]

ik

i saw it

[lone widget]

I will be getting you animated flaps

And more accurate one soon

[west crater]

shit

fuck

put this guy

as

senior dev!!

why haven't we thought of this yet

[long mountain]

theres one north of tomfoolery

[azure yew]

[long mountain]

yes

please
