FSX default Grumman goose G21A no spray effect

Featured Replies

Hi all,

I have googled and checked all the files re this Goose but wonder why no spray visible. All effects files to invoke spray are there: in the effects folder and in the aircraft.cfg.
Strange enough,  the default de Havilland beaver DHC2 shows the spray effect perfectly.

Any idea how to tackle this strange problem?

Many thanks for your help and

kindest regards

Hello Alfred,

Assuming you are talking about FSX and not P3D.

You're quite right, they do use the same Wake & Water effects, so there's no reason why the same effect cant be seen in both aircraft as it does for your Default DHC2.

But if I can make a recommendation, that you might like even better than the Default Goose.
It is the OZx HD Redux Grumman Goose G21A, the effects are custom for Wake & Water.
Just be sure to backup (Save to a safe location) your Default "Grumman_Goose_G21A" folder before you install the HD redux version (executable installer) because it directly overwrites the default.
Follow the install instructions in the PDF carefully and you should be blowing water and spray all over the bay in no time at all......

The installer will take care of the new effects and aircraft installation

I'm sure you will like the repaint selection with the HD 1.20 version, this also adds A2A redux lights if you have them. http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/files/file/633-ozx-grumman-goose-hd-redux-120/ 

There is also an Expansion Pack:

If you look up "Grumman Goose" in the Downloads section, there is also some nice repaints for the HD Goose for both 450hp and 600hp engine variants.

Hi Jethro, 

First of all thanks a lot for your immediate feedback and your excellent suggestion to download the OZx Grumman as well as the expansion pack. Everything works fine and all  my  FSX gooses now have reallooking waterspray. 

kindest regards
