Peaceful Flight...

Postby Brando14100 » Thu Apr 17, 2008 9:27 am

...Over Lake George, New York. Only 45 minutes away from where I live. It's nice and quiet and peaceful without having to worry about altitude, speed, and ATC nonsense. At around 3,000 at 360 knots cruising up and down the lake.

Did this last night at the same spot. The boat matches the plane! Now that is scary!... Wait a minute... Where is it? Oh ____! The screenshot never captured. It was so cool too. The plane and boat had the same paintjob. Anyway, I did it with this plane and paint. It was just before landing on the lake:

They are those Teardrop bulges on the wingtips. They can be lowered, and will swing down under the wings. I believe there is a switch somewhere on the panel that you can flip to lower and raise them (at least for the default FSX Goose).  This keeps the plane relatively level in the water.

Check out this image to see what I mean:
