I need a real good amphibian - any suggestions?

Featured Replies

Is there any amphibian out there payware or freeware that is comparable to the stuff of FSD or DF? Most important I need a real good VC.I really would love to have one.Thx fr any suggestions,Alex

This one is pretty cool ....Fiat CMASA RS 14 PrototypeRS14_proto.zipAlso the Dornier Do-24K Seaplanes ... there are a few, created by Mathias Pommerien, Eric Joiner Jr. and Jorge Salas, don't have the file name to hand.The Fairey Swordfish is exceptional. Model and panel.cfg by Mathias Pommerien Flight dynamics by Larry Vrooman Textures and panel bitmap by Alessandro Biaggi.Ford 5-AT C Trimotor ... yikes, Alex, I'm only at 'F' and I'm getting bored with this. You're here often enough .... look 'em up, sport!Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitak.htmlhttp://www.swiremariners.com/reds.htmlhttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitakv3.jpg

Alex,Bill Lyons Waco comes with floats. It is payware, but definitely looks like a winner for $12 bucks. Do a search at the "other" flight sim site's screenshot forum for " petermcleland waco ". This gent has put up some fabulous shots up of the Waco, and I believe there are some shots of the VC.The Waco, being a two seat bi-plane, is somewhat application limited though, so I don't know if it will suit your needs.Good Luck,Rogerhttp://rwlsportscards.com/images/sigs/avsig3.gif

Thx Dark,thx Roger,I'll check em out.Alex

Bravisimo!i like the fiat! what a beast, the only thing is the dvc is a little blurry, but still very cool. its so huge it bottoms out at my home dock cuz its close to shore.ODOG

Alex,My favorite aircraft in this catagory has to be the Sikorsky S-38 by George Diemer. It is often referred to as a bunch of airplane parts flying in formation. The VC cockpit is outstanding. You will find it and his other Sikorsky S-39 on the "other" flightsim website. If you like it, please e-mail me for modifications George and I have made to it.Pete1

I second that. A friend of mine's father (mentioned elsewhere in posts about Eastern Airlines) owned one of the only 23 made. George's models are gorgeous, and the latest with VC is 'da biz'. You can wander about the cabin too.Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitak.htmlhttp://www.swiremariners.com/reds.htmlhttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitakv3.jpg
