July 2, 20205 yr How are lakes handled? Can I land on any lake with a float plane? Or is this only possible on lakes the AI recognizes? Or only on those that are treated by hand (Asobo or 3rd party)? Karl i9-9900K@5,0 | 32GB 3200 | 2080TI | 4K 55" | MSFS | P3D V5
July 2, 20205 yr Lakes should be handled the same way they have been in FSX/P3D. Given the way the scenery is generated, the lakes should be more accurate than they were in the previous sims. I don't have any direct experience specifically with lakes in MSFS, but I do remember FSX/P3D lakes didn't always match the charts; typically smaller ones would be missing. Hook Larry Hookins Oh!

July 3, 20205 yr Karl raises an excellent question. The terrain engine is very different than it is right now, in design and how it is generated. I cannot but observe that, if I am not mistaken, we have not seen any water ops yet.

There is more aplha build exist, but only one build is avaiable for alpha testers from public and other builds are only for internal testing.

July 12, 20214 yr Holy thread revival Batman! 12 months. You land in a lake just like you would in reality, find one big enough whilst you're in the right plane and set down on it. Job done.

July 17, 20214 yr Slew the plane there (hit Y), or alternatively use the teleport feature in the FSPM VFR map (in the toolbar) to move it there.
