HiIm wondering how do i get Greg Pepper and Michael Verlin's Albatross in is_hu16virginislands.zip to turn in the water...I have tried the water rudder key with no luck, it doesnt want to turn when on water, on the land its fine...Does anyone out there have this aircraft and has managed or knows how to turn it on the water? or is it a job for the throttles to turn it.RegardsLiam

I checked my installation (actually using hu16_20.zip from Flightsim) and there does not seem to be a water rudder modeled into the aircraft. It is very difficult to turn on the water for me using the rudder controls.For that reason I seldom if ever fly this bird.

The exact reason i rarely fly her aswell, she handled perfect on the ground, a bit iffy in the air, but thats down to the loadout of the a/c, its just a let down she doesnt have a water rudder modelled.Can it be added to the aircraft CFG for it to work? like if i were to copy thre water rudder section from the default C208 Amphib and add it to the albatross cfg?

No - I believe the water rudder is an "animation" which would be a part of the model if the author had included it.

Not even if i add the cfg entry that controlls the rate of turn when the water rudder is down? so the cfg thinks the albatross has one, thus letting it turn in the water, even though there isnt one physically modelled on the a/c

I just did a bit more searching and found this file at Fightsim - hu16_s2.zip - by Michael Verlin. It contains several fixes for the HU-16 Albatross including the ability to use an invisible water rudder to turn the aircraft on the water.I just added the "changed" elements to be base file and got it to work. Be sure to read the documentation he included in this "update" package.Hope that helps.

Opa...It works, i love you so much :(
