Hi Guys, Im currently really enjoying FSCargo as an addon and its added a new dimension to my flying. I've created loads of little bases tucked away in little crevices and outbacks around the world and am loving flying into each of them. However, in all this it has highlighted that, although I am highly familiar with many aircraft in FS, I am not "at one" with a single model. So I am currently looking for a "personal steed" to get to know and am able to use for the majority of my short haul simming. I have been toying for the past two days with a Beech 18 amphib. It is reasonably fast - nice performance and does both cargo and passengers but the panel is absolutely awful and no good for any serious simming. So I basically need your help! I have lots of floatplane and small strip bases so I would really, ideally, like it to be an Amphibian. Good panel is a must as I am likely to spend a lot of time looking at it. Also Passenger or cargo variants and two engines would be nicer than one. The Pilatus' and me just don't get on in FS - I find the flight model to be unrealistic (I have flown one or two in my time)and the recent Just Flight caravan release would be ideal apart from its lack of a float version :( All help greatly appreciated. If you find me the perfect aircraft I shall forever be in your debt! Many thanks! Alex

How 'bout the Aerosoft or John Woodward Beavers? The Aerosoft has many different models both 5 and 8 seats. I can't find any reference to a cargo version, though, maybe write and ask them for it. In fact, I think I will.

Wildfire, Just checked the aerosoft site and there is a cargo version however there doesn't appear to be a version for download - only a boxed one. It looks like they used to do one, anyone know the story on if a download is likely to be available at some point?Alex

Just seen it on simmarket - shoulda looked before I opened my mouth! Alex
