October 10, 20205 yr I could not take off once the plane hit the water, so the drag of the water on the wheels is recognized, but the depth stays the same everywhere. I imagine that modelling actual water depth or ground level over the whole planet would be rather difficult, but I would think that the default minimum depth should at least be more than 2 ft https://youtu.be/P6xfiwlgIpI I9-13900K, RTX 4090, Reverb G2, Simrig Motion platform
October 10, 20205 yr Yep, it's a flight sim not a depth sim. Hope that helps. Edited October 10, 20205 yr by Will Fly For Cheese
October 10, 20205 yr Proof right there that the sea level is getting shallower not deeper, unfortunately for the flat earthers MSFS does indeed prove that the Earth is round.😀 AMD 9800X3D, NZXT X73 RGB AIO COOLER, Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite WIFI7, 64GB 6000MHZ RAM, 4TB Samsung Pro NVME, 4 TB Crucial P3+ NVME, 4TB Crucial SSD, Gigabyte Gaming OC Geforce RTX5090, Antec C8 ARGB Case, X55 JOYSTICK/THROTTLES, LG 4K C4 42" TV/Monitor 120 Hz, 2 Dell 1080 monitors.

October 10, 20205 yr How did you do that? If I touch water in anything but the icon, even if it's just a little stream, it registers a plane crash. I'd love to do the water braking bush landings, but can't because of that crash detection. Ryzen 7 7800X3D/B650 X AX | 5090 | 32gig | Win10 | Pimax Crystal Light
October 10, 20205 yr They did say in that interview that they were going for a wide, not deep, simming experience.
October 10, 20205 yr Moderator Of interest is that in P3D the sea bottom is remarkably accurate. Of course it had to be otherwise the submarines and other ships would have problems... Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator

It's a flight sim for god sakes. Imagine if some one else starts stating the mountain are too roundish. We are luckily to not have wire triangles of mountains and only green shading. Your comment seems a bit harsh.

I'd love to do the water braking bush landings, but can't because of that crash detection. I did an un-planned water ditching in the Baron when testing critical engine failure yaw (which I'm still not convinced is right). I was scrambling to hit the right button and managed to kill both engines. This was my normal test-drive airport which has a large body of water directly across from the runway. The plane hit the water, more or less believably although it didn't travel far enough after contact, and then sat there without sinking. Water filled half the cockpit. It probably didn't register as a crash because I had the gear up when hitting the water.

I'd love to do the water braking bush landings, but can't because of that crash detection. The first time I did that was in the same place. I overshot the runway and ended up in the water and I expected a crash but it kept on going. So I came back up on land and this is when I recorded the video. I was just trying to see if this was repeatable. But earlier I had tried to skim the water with a cub, and I crashed as soon as the wheels hit the water and I ended up upside down, but the plane got submerged only about 2 ft as well. I wish I could have taken off from the water...instant new amphibian aircraft to join the Icon 😂 I9-13900K, RTX 4090, Reverb G2, Simrig Motion platform

October 11, 20205 yr Two feet of water? Are there, or will there be any aircraft carriers in MSFS? (Have not purchased this sim yet - first need new rig).
