January 30, 20215 yr This freeware model is a Short Sunderland Mk IIIA, which was developed by “Shessi” (sorry, I don’t know his real name) for CFS2 and FS2004 and published on SOH. I love these big old birds, so I converted her to MSFS. We start in Southampton. She swims alright, but doesn’t like to move in the water. So I cheated a bit and slewed her up into the air. Passing by Hythe As she didn’t have a suitable VC, I installed again the one from the Flight Replicas’ DC 4 Slowly lumbering along towards the open sea. Plenty of time to enjoy the scenery. Here we are over Cowes The southern tip of the Isle of Wight Crossing the channel was a breeze in this behemoth of a seaplane. We have reached Alderney And here we are at our final destination: Jersey. Now it’s time to find a suitable place to land, which shouldn’t be a big deal, I guess Seconds before touchdown. This bird is really fun to fly! While do I feel so small out of a sudden 🙂 Thanks for viewing Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080

January 30, 20215 yr Bernd, it's very simple. Cut a hole in the floor. Shove your feet , flipper clad, through the hole. Paddle like hell & with your spare hand pump the water out. Lift off! Voila! Stunning shots, BTW. & it must be the only Shorts in the World with a DC-4 VC! Next you'll be stuffing the Concord VC into a Tiger Moth!😃 T45
