I hope there will be some % off for those who own it in P3D.

ok a couple of notes. The pictures on that store page are non-descriptive. Both of them show an installer window and the airplane is barely visible on the first one. When you go to the developer page (with link on the storepage) you get a 404.

Thanks for the heads up.  Just recently I've been jonesing for the old Grumman Radial Widgeon in FS9 by Joe Binka ( or was it Milton Shupe?) so I could go execute some of the water-based missions in NeoFly.  This could be just what I was hoping for (without the radial power) but like you say it seems as if the paint is still drying on the website and screenshot side.  Not being familiar with this developer, is their stuff usually pretty good?

Yes, their stuff is good. Graphics could be better, but system depth is good. Have all of their aircraft in P3D.

I have their Learjet and MU-2B in FSX and the system fidelity and flight model are very good...their modeling is not as good as Carenado or the like but a long standing and solid company nonetheless.

Not ideal for an Amphibian.

I must say I strongly agree. I tried to land on water or start from waterport with exactly the same result MSFS black screen "you crash"

Well, ironically on that score, I went to go and buy it so I could do a review for my channel, my account there said I had some loyalty points which I could convert into a voucher (from having bought other stuff from them) so I converted those points into a voucher because sonstantly buying stuff to review gets bloody expensive, but upon choosing to create a voucher from my points, poof! no more loyalty points and no voucher either. So I thought: well if that's the way it is then you can stick it and I didn't buy it lol. Their loss. 🤣

Has anyone else had an issue installing? I have my Packages folder on me G:\ drive and it will not recognize it at all. Pretty frustrating installer.

Actually yes, same. I didn't see it because it was behind the installer window but I get the same error.
