I have downloaded John Woodward DHC-2 Beaver and also the Noorduyn Norseman on floats but have not been able to get them to install and show up on FS9 aircraft. Has anyone been able to install either completely. Maybe I'm miss-reading the install instructions.Does anyone have a good float plane for bush flying.???Thanks in advanceChuck

Aviat Amphibian by Steven Grant at AVSIM.com under the filename aviatam.zip.Bill and Lynn Lyons have offered their previously payware Classics 1-5 as freeware now and each come with a float or amphibian variant.At AVSIM.com: Tiger Moth - tiger4free.zip, Waco - waco4free.zip, and Piper J-3 Cub - cub4free.zip.At Flightsim.com are the Swift - ccswift4.zip and the Ryan STA - ccryan4.zip in addition to the others.Maule M7-260 by Mikko Maliniemi and team has an amphibian variant and is available at http://www.fsnordic.net and at Flightsim.com as m7260_v1.zip.Cessna 195 by Hedge Hopper Design Shop, Joseph Binka, Herb Morse, Heather Sherman, and Eric Norton is available at AVSIM under the filename shakey_jake.zip.That should keep you busy.:-)Kevin

Take a look at FSD's Platus PC6 Porter http://www.fsd-international.com/ There is an amphibian model that's great, well worth the money if you do alot of bush flying.Dave FisherCYYZP4 2.8 GB 478P 533 MHZ CPUP4P800S Asus Motherboard512 DDRGeforce Ti 4200/128Maxtor 80 Gig ATA 133 HDhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg

I highly recommend the newly released RealAir Simulations "Scout". It comes in both tailwheel & float versions. Also includes some "bush" scenery by Bill Womack.The 2D & VC panels are superb; actually some of the best in the business, along with state of the art flight dynamics which include realistic slips & spins. http://www.realairsimulations.com/L.Adamson

M.Maliniemi, K.Virtanen, I.Grant, R.Horelli, A.Swindle, S.Grant, T.Foosnes teamed up to put together one hell of Maule M-7-260It has the normal conventional landing gear. Conventional w/tundra tires, amphibian, wheel/ski, and a tricycle. Pretty big download at 60.3mb but worth every penny and then some....Oh wait its freeware. You can pick it up at www.fsnordic.net check the "Most Downloaded" section...
