[color=#000000]Looking good Doug, nice set.

looks to me that in the last pic, if you dont have your Water boots on, you are going to get your feet wet because you are sitting a little low in the water.  Other than that, excellent set!! Love the Fall feel of the flight.

Maybe you and that red plane behind you should switch floats. He's ridin' a bit high!

Goodly morning all...

Thanks for the replies, the floats were moving up and down in the water.  I find that FS Water Configurator works well and I was using the FSX Default setting, however some of the other settings will give nice rough inland water or a glassy water effect.

If you have never been on an aircraft on floats before it is quite common to see part of the rear floats go under and then rise again.  Depends on the load.
Amphibious Floats and Amphibious Aircraft are the real answer and the Amphibious DHC-2 Beavers and DHC-3 Otters with their variety of engine types with increased power are proof of that.   ;)   

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
