This is my first add-on for Virtual Sailor: The legendary Flying Sub (FS-1) from that classic 60s TV series "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea"!

All this talk about flying submarines and the "History of Flight in Virtual Sailor", and not one peep about THE one AND only Flying Sub! Something had to be done!

This project began when I'd taken it upon myself to overhaul a mesh by a fellow "Orbiter" user, Jon Marcure. (see images FS_Comparison_01 & _02 in this folder).

Then, wanting to do something with the mesh other than launching it into outer space, I remembered that I'd downloaded a demo for some program called Virtual Sailor 5 some months prior. Checked for a new version, downloaded the version 6 demo, and went about learning how to configure things to run in the program... five minutes at a time!  Spent a few weeks cranking out a few more boats and finally just couldn't deal with the time limit thing, so I did the honorable thing and registered... about two days before version 6.5 came out, so I had to spend about a week redoing all the configs & scenarios! So, now, here it is!

Thanks to:

- Ilan Papini for creating a truly spectacular simulation experience
- Jon Marcure (xerus@attbi.com) for the original mesh
