Float plane issue with SP1?

Has anyone else tried a float plane with SP1 yet?
They all now seem to literly "bounce"on the water almost like there is a contact point problem.
Actually it seems like it's the water that is now "jumping" around. It isn't noticable until you get down to water level. This happens with all water settings
Since the way FS-X handles the water was changed in SP1, perhaps this bug slipped through the cracks?

yes, I do. It seems like we're making too hard of contact. Probably another bug. Makes it very hard to stop your plane.

I just flew a quick one to check this out and I didn't notice anything unusual.

On further observantion, it seems that with SP1 installed, instead of the aircraft bobbing up and down with the wave action of the water, now the aircraft remains still and all the scenery (including the water) bobs up and down.
Can somone please go to spot view with a float plane on the water and see if you can observe this?
I re-installed a second time and this is definately caused by SP1.

No problem here
Beaver floats and bobs in the water normally. Lands fine
You may be seeing the camera movement going up and down. The camera moves with the aircraft so as it bobs up and down the camera moves slightly with it. If you focus on the edge of the screen the illusion tricks the eyes into thinking the scenery is moving instead of the camera. Since you are not holding the camera or bobing up and down your brain is telling to its the scenery moving.

No. I am seeing the senery and water jumping up and down. When it jumps down there is actually a gap between the aircraft and water. This effect is very pronounced and can not be mistaken for the normal bobbing movement that exist without SP1.

Everything is fine until I install SP1 so it has to be somehow related to it.
Things I tried:
1) Newest ATI drivers. (running an ATI

I'm using an NVidia 8800GTX with the latest driver and the main difference for me between pre and post SP1 is that the Beaver doesn't stop on the water any more after landing.

Ok........
The problem seems to have to cured its self for the most part.
It still does it once in a while but, it isn't nearly as bad as before.
However, I wouln't be surprised if it resurfaced again.
P.S.
I just came accross a post on another forum that outlined the same exact problem.
The only difference is the poster said he had the problem before as well as after SP1.

I just put a goose down in the ocean and watched it bob up and down just like it should. It all looked OK to me.

The poster refered to in my last post has added to original post.
He had to re-install FS-X and has now also determined that this problem is caused by SP1.
So this is indeed a SP1 bug.
