Floatplane starts in water with gear down

Featured Replies

Hey!I was trying to rebuild the transpacific route of the Sikorrsky S-42, so I built an AFX for FS2004 and tried it out on the default scenery of FS2004. The attachment is a zip which has everything needed to start a flight, but my floatplane always starts in the water with gear down....What could be the reason why?GreetzJive1

If you are starting by using a Flight, do this:1. Load the Flight.2. Raise up the gear.3. Save the Flight, overwriting the one in step 1.Hope this helps,

That should work. If not, start a flight with the default Cessna. Get airborne and switch to your flying boat. (Not really a "floatplane") Use 'Go to' and place your Sikorsky where you want it... Then save your flight...Ian
