Is it possible for someone to make something totally different...A P-38 Lightning with floats. Here's a pic:

gto_driver, check out my post below. I got it at no-nodes. If someone can put a Texan on floats I'm sure they can do it with a P-38. One might already be out there somewhere............Jerry

Nice screenshots, but the markings are wrong - they should be Korean Air Force. Actually, the Koreans did put a (small) number of T-6s on floats during the Korean War. What I need to check out is whether it was single main float + outriggers, or twin floats.

You're correct Felix, I think it even mentioned that in the readme. The only reason I ended up with this plane is because it came packaged with the wheeled model with the same markings. I chose this model because FINALLY I have found the T6 Texan that actually has the almost identical flight characteristics of the real one both you and I have flown. I scrapped all other versions I had installed previously. This one is very realistic!
