seaplane airports in MSFS

Featured Replies

Hi, i have seen a list in FSX for coast seaplane airports and havent found anything outside USA yet.

With MSFS its possible to pick any location on the globe with the mouse but thats with engines running and in the air.

Anyone found a way to just place your seaplane on water and start from there  in cold and dark?

 

Thanks

So when you spawn in, just slew to the water.  Then turn off all your instruments.  You can now do a cold start from the water.

Not really.

But what you can do if you have a location you like to fly from is save that flight while floating on the water cold and dark.

There are several addons that add seaplane bases. Not at my flight system so I can't give you specifics but after installing I select the airport and select either the water runway or a dock if available and sim starts there.
