Comments on: Seaplane Testers Needed https:/2019/02/seaplane-testers-needed/ Developer resources for the X-Plane flight simulator Sat, 23 Feb 2019 20:19:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.1 By: Brian Paulich https:/2019/02/seaplane-testers-needed/#comment-33224 Sat, 23 Feb 2019 20:19:39 +0000 http://developer.x-plane.com/?p=39447#comment-33224 I have been testing the new files from Austin with the stock Skyhawk Float plane and as of X-Plane 2-22-2019-2.exe its’ behavior into a 6 knt wind 0.4′ waves is very close to perfict and the step taxing is very realistic. However when you cut the engine and steer into the 6 knt wind the aircraft has unlimited energy to continue into the wind for ever. When you quit steering in this 6 knt wind and waves (from 240 degrees) it will only head at 100 degrees?

I can also attest to the currently extremely unrealistic seaplane behavior of the helicopters with and without floats.

I would like to test this out. I have been working on the graphics of the default water and have tried to make it look as realistic as possible, and would love to test out seaplanes such as my current favorite, the Grumman Goose. Also would love to share and maybe give feedback for water textures (i can send you my files to make it part of default x plane water.

I guess similar for a seaplane: Even if I never flew one, I could tell you if it’s not realistic.
BTW: Any crash in X-Plane so far does not loose enough energy to be realistic: The plane jumps around like a rubber ball, and the forces that make it turn are also completely unrealistic. I can tell you even though I never crashed in a real plane 😉
Anyway I’d prefer to read what had changed; maybe I may not even need to try it in X-Plane…

thank you for your work ; I built a scenery with seaplane bases, and I would like to test
“sea plane water dynamics” with team xpfr .

Please send me the link to your custom build for testing seaplanes.
Thanks,
Bruce
