Float Plane

Featured Replies

Hello,Within FSX, is there a float plane that has landing gear as well as the floats? If not, would you recommend a good download (freeware or payware).Thank you!Paul

There is the Carenado C185 Bush version that has an amphibian version, as well as the Real Air Scout 2007. There are obviously more than that, but those are the two that come to my mind.

Isn't the Grumman_Goose_G21A an Amphibian (meaning it can work in water or on land) ??

Yes, and it's default.The Aerosoft BeaverX is another excellent payware amphibian, as is the Lionheart Quest Kodiak.Milton Shupe's D-18 has an amphibian variant and it's freeware. Premier Aicraft Designs has at least a couple freeware amphibians, Turbo Otter and Turbo Beaver.


Lose not thine airspeed, lest the ground rise up and smite thee.

You are looking for an "amphibian" type of aircraft. The Carenado Cessna 206 should also be considered. Sibwings L-19 is another.RayM

In Captain Sim's C-130 there is CL-130 model on floats.
