Float planes not lifting off the water
« on: October 22, 2015, 02:15:24 AM »
Hi guys and gals,
  Long time since I've been around but still lurking and enjoying RTMM as much as I can.  All that ORBX testing is time consuming!

Question about float planes.   Even under full throttle I can't get the A2A Piper off the water.  Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Rob,
     Long time.  Glad you're doing ok.  My thoughts are ... be sure to face into the wind.  Are you using Accu-feel?  There is a setting for water drag.  That's all I've got. (without editing the cfg file).

Thanks Jeff.  I'll look into the water drag setting in AccuFeel.
