Heps Virtual Dive Systems

Les stabs existent en 2 tailles (S) pour petite, et (L) pour grandes, sont modifiables et sont attachées au Torse.

Les commandes sont attachées à l'ATH, en bas à gauche de l'écran, avec deux boutons qui fonctionnent comme en réel, + 1 bouton supplémentaire. Vous trouverez aussi un régulateur de vitesse de nage : lorsque vous portez le contrôleur, la vitesse par défaut est règlée sur SL™, mais vous pouvez selectionner RL, pour être plus proche de la réalité. Vous pouvez aussi choisir "FAST" : rapide ...

C'est le palmage ou la stab. qui vous permettent de vous déplacer vers le haut ou vers le bas, comme en RL. Utilisez simplement les boutons inflateur/purge ou PgUp/PgDown pour controler votre flottabilité. Comme dans la réalité, il y a un delai entre le moment où vous actionnez la commande et la réaction, alors soyez patient, et attention, lorsque l'ascension commence, si vous ne purgez pas, vous irez de plus en plus vite si vous êtes en mode simulation.

Fins are worn on the feet... Of course...

You also need the FINS CONTROL (part of the BCD HUD) : when on the ground, you Walk (with a special walk...) and when in Water you Swim. Thoses Fins are especially designed by Heps Virtual Dive Systems, based on the classic AO scripts. Animations are changing depending of your status IN or OUT of WATER. You can keep your FINS on your feet and walk on the ground, you will not swim in the street... Walk, Swim, Standing ... animations are included.

=> YOU MUST BE IN A SCRIPT ENABLED AREA if you want to use the FINS or HEAVY FOOTER Animation OverRider !

When wearing your FINS CONTROL, please be patient during the FIRST loading time. A CHAT message "Preparing to Walk and Dive with HEPS Virtual Dive System" will appear. All is loaded when "Ready to Walk" and "Ready to Swim" is writed in the CHAT Window.

If you want to swimm faster, just use the FLY option under water (clic the FLY button in SL™ interface). You can also see in the little round HUD a Loading message with the Heps Logo.

The FINS CONTROL have 4 states "Loading", "Walk", "Swim" or "Fly", all have their own little explicit icon.

Those items are AO (Animation Overrider), so if you already use a AO for your walk, remove it before you wear your FINS. If you dont want to use your AO on the Fins, just type in the CHAT the following commands : /88 fins off, or simpler, just click the Blue Round Ican, and choose STOP in the Menu.

Other commands are :

Turn on the AO again :
/88 fins on

Reset the AO :
/88 fins reset

Just wear them, they are attached on the Nose.

Some TECH Helmets or Masks are coming with integrated LIGHTS, with On/Off switch. 
You can also switch on or off in the CHAT window, just saying : 
"/14 on" or "/14 off" (without the " quotes).

You can choose the TANKS you want for your diving equipments. The TANKS are attached on the SPINE.

Note that the side TANKS on Tech Scuba Gears are part of the BCD, you choose them with the BCD Model. They are not "working".

If you have Heps intruments or computers, you can plug them to your tank. Each tank have its own default internal pressure and volume. To plug the Instruments to the tank, just use the CHAT Command : "/88 tank plug" (without the " quotes). Then, the instrument will display the tank values, and they will change in Real Time, depending of depth and breath volume/speed.

See instruments for more info...

In a Nitrox or Trimix tank, you can choose the O2 pressure.
Computers will use the values in real time, depending of depth

Rebreather is a special tank, recycling your air

No Bubbles in Regulator

Bubbles are only starting when getting in water or stopping when you go 

back on the ground. Regulators are attached on the Mouth.

Note : Some regulators are part of the Scuba Mask (in Full Face Masks for 

example).

As in Real Life, the Rebreather's Regulator

is not making bubbles.
