Default For MXSMANIC: Flight Simulator Gear?

The young guys always choose the 182, or the Caravan on floats.
...
Float plane in a sim? Does it know about things such as getting "on
the step", high speed taxi turns, sailing into a mooring or dock using
the rudder, going up on one float to cut down drag, ... ?


It does get up on the step, and the rudders do work in the water. The
sounds and visuals are quite convincing, too.

Of course, I've never actually flown a float plane, so you may find it
hopelessly unrealistic.
