Haven't been around much lately to post or do what i like to call "my inept attemts at modding"------was actually hoping bbw that you would have it done by now (along w/all the other projects you have on your plate )

This was my last attempt of serg's seaplane that I worked on:





favrdom,
What I did was clone and rename it. some minor tweaks w/ wings 3d and pak 3d to get the prop still. Then changed to type 306 (enviromental air unit if i remember correctly). removed the sim, zon, and dsd files from the dat folder and placed it in the sh3/air/folder. you have to then manually place it where you want it in the mission editor. This example was placed at 2 meters height if i remember---you can play w/ the hieght levels to own taste. The problem with this method is that when you look at it closely---it doesn't roll with the waves --although it really isn't a deal breaker--I did not want to release it subpar.

The following thread is the experimentation i did w/ it along with my stymied attempts at parking planes on the ground . have not had the time to pick back up my excercise in frustation
