These boat sites will only gain in significance when FSX comes out with improved water effects and animated birds.Imagine using your graphics card out-put to a big BIG screen wall TV.On the screen ;A scanning deck chair view with the setting sun behind, lighting your gaze on a panoramic view of palm trees with their fronds slowly waving in the breeze. The constant rhythmic sound of the waves lapping on the white sand beach is only punctuated by the screech of seagulls and occasional clang of the mast rigging. I wonder to myself as I sip my drink "why the girls like to nude sunbathe on the beach when they have the whole bow of the boat to themselves ? ".....

Or in my case ....BOAK! As I puke over the side!(g)

How do we make them reverse?Cannot get astern in QM2 or Tug.

Nice . Going to try one of them. Silly question first...how does one place the boat in the sea? Do I need to use afcad and create water runways?ThanksBill

Find an airport close to the water. When the boat ends up on the runway to start a flight, SLEW it to the water and save the flight OR use a seaplane and then make the switch.
