Will it be possible to make the landing characteristics better?
The effects of water resistance on the hull of the H8K1 do not seem to be like with the non-AI floatplane. It takes too long to stop and also seems to lift off the water surface too easily.

Of course part of this is surface area vs. mass...

8) Im waiting patiently for this one :wink: the only real float plane is that small A6M-N ? I can understand why it would take longer for the H8K1 to stop.... just plan your approch.

I dont think its as simple as that. -- The movement of AI aircraft doesnt seem to have the same damping effect as with a non AI aircraft, so they take longer to slow down, or to stop bouncing compared to non AI equivalents. In takeoff the H8K1 seems to be able to get airborne far too easily. Maybe it would be possible to do some comparisons with real life performance?

Nevertheless I'm also looking forward to the Flying Boat Pack - especially the Catalina.

well going on what the japanese aircraft are like, i.e. betty, they are very light and need little speed compared to others, you can land the H8K1 with out having to wait minutes to stop. its a little wrong but try coming in very very low, 50ft, level stab, 140mph and gently let her down, as soon as you hit the water fower down and increase throttle on far left/right engine and you can hand brake turn it, i dont know as of yet how we or any oen can change how it behaves against water.

hehe we have planned a float pack from long ago


oops! yes, ok, great idea T, we will get right on it

seriously, most AIs will be made flyable, where possible

we will likely end up with several "packs" of various themes, and ultimately, a super pack with all up to date mods included, and then a supplemental pack with skins and sounds specific to the types in the respective pack

ki-21-1 will be fun...that light twin JP bomber will handily outturn pitfires! lol
