Bill Lyon Grumman Goose

Featured Replies

Hi All,I just downloaded the awesome Grumman Goose by Bill Lyon. It's a great plane, but I have pretty interesting issue.I can begin a landing on water, however as I slow down and become stationary, the Goose will shoot straight up (about 100 feet) and then nose over and just keep boucing up and down. Starting the aircraft on a water airport will do the same.I had crash detection off, turned it on. Same thing, except it crashes right away on the water. I had the flight realism settings all the way right, I moved the Crash Tolerance back to the left 'Easy'. No difference.I tried the default Cessna Caravan amphibian, and that behaviour does not appear at all, whether take-off, stationary on the water, or landing.Anyone have some input? Contact points maybe? How would I edit those?Thanks
