Just downloaded this PBY (SimV Props Pg 18). The aircraft doesn't make a wake when moving on the water, and no splash when it lands on the water. Anyone know if there is a fix for this? Huh

Check the aircraft.cfg Effects section for the following two statements and add as necessary.

wake = fx_wake
water = fx_spray

Did the rational thing and compared the EFFECTS section of Aircraft cfg file of the PBY to that of the Grand Caravan amphib. There was a minor difference:- the "water=fx_spray" on the PBY file had "\\" preceding it, while the GCA didn't. So I deleted the \\ from the PBY file and I now have the missing water action. I will learn, sooner ot later, to check more thoroughly for possible solutions before I post questions. Embarrassed

Thanks. I did that first and found them in place. It wasn't until I compared it to the Caravan that I noticed the \\ preceding the water=fx_spray. So all OK now.

PS: Milton, that Beechcraft A28 must be some aircraft based on the size of the file and the comments from the other simmers.

That would be nice, but if you had, I would not have found this thread and learned what to look for.

So my advice, don't feel silly for answering your own posts, someone else may learn from it.
