FLOAT PLANE SESSION: NEXT WEEK

[Jimbo]

As by request from Masmith, next week we will halt the Aussie Tour for one week, and do a one off Float Plane Hop!

Details will be uploaded Wednesday ( 11th) April, and the hop will be on the 15th April.

So, i need suggestions for places, countrys, areas which have a nice fly around, with some nice water runways.

I also need LINKS to downloadable Float Plane Aircraft (Simviation only please), after reviewing i will suggest TWO suitable downloads which everyone should get.

So, opinions away, and get searching and researching.

...dont forget Lads, if there is a chance that we have to set down on land anywhere, our craft will be required to be fitted with Amphibious Floats, like Luke's above......

...ie; ones with wheels!.... ...!

LOL... ...!

Don't know how good it is, but it seems to be the best one about;

Beaver Amphibian

Also, I know it's at A***m, but this is quite a useful page...

Paul,

Who's your friend in the background of that shot?

[FsNovice]

I'm liking that plane fozzer, looks rather gracious compared to the other one.

[F3Hadlow]

How about a Catalina?

[Serpent_6]

Hmmm the FSX Beaver is not an amphib so if we do have to land on land somewhere ill take the Grumman Goose Fine amphib and for the FS9ers the Bill Lyons Goose is a great modell.

Paul,

Who's your friend in the background of that shot?  

I think it's Ann Coulter... I see Foz has been feeding her...

[beaky]

I wish I could find a decent Seabee... the only freware one I've ever found has serious handling problems.

[beaky]

I might also suggest we fy in the area covered by this mesh...? Just DLing it now; looks nice!

[BuzzLightBeer]

Might I suggest when recommending aircraft for use this weekend to make sure there are models available for FS2004 and for FSX.

The Glacier Bay add-on mesh covers a nice area that includes several seaplane airports... gonna take a hop there today and maybe post some screenies.
