Is there an anchor for MSFS2020 floatplanes

Featured Replies

When I start a new flight at a dock and the wind is blowing, my floatplane either gets blown away from the dock or onto the dock.

Is there an 'anchor' like there is in Xplane which will prevent a floatplane from being blown away from its 'mooring'?

Thanks but where do I find that? I have never heard of 'Lorby' and was surprised to find the web site after a search.

I downloaded and installed and ran it with MSFS running but it doesn't seem to do anything unfortunately.

It seems to no longer work in SU 11, worked fine for me before. AFAIK, the Beaver can be docked with the Anchor function of the tablet.

The new Beaver has an anchor that you select on the tablet. For other planes you can use active pause.

It seems to me that the mooring tool is working again once the SDK 0.24 was installed.

Lorby mooring still works for me. No change with SU11

Did you update the SDK? That was the solution for me.

I don't get it, why use an external app for this when the sim does it by just pressing a key?

How can you do this in sim?

As I said above, pressing the active pause button.

The difference is that the tool enables a fixed and a swinging mooring. MSFS water and docking capabilities are not very sophisticated, but I think there is potential for these options. The active pause is the quick fix.

Yes that will result in everything stopping including animations won't it.

I did not know that the tablet has this function (for the DHC-2) I am currently 'exploring' the DHC-2 but there are other floatplanes available requiring 'tethering'.
