Landing gear mod for PBY? - Bombsaway - 19.04.2009
I'm sorry if this is not the place to post this, didnt really know where but is it possible to make a mod to use landing gear on the PBY? We have skins showing wheels, just thought it might be a good mod.

A "wheeled" version is being worked on, but as for the existing...as far as i know, it isn't possible for planes to have both (working) wheels and floats. Some FM issue, i think.
So...waiting for new version.

I wonder if since the PBY has no flaps if that command could addapted to the floats to land in water and the gear would be normal funtion.

Don't think so, because than the AI will use them and think of them as "flaps." Thus, every time the AI will want to release flaps, it will release floats instead....
Also, if I am not mistaken, The version we have is the PBN-1 Nomad without gear which should be correct. We have the PBN, not the Amphibious PBY Catalina.

Your right. Guess I'll have to wait for the Cat.
Thanks.

Didn't Gibbage make the Cat, but held it back (for "ransom"), until Oleg fixed the .50s? I think I remember seeing an AI gunner with a fishing rod out of one of the side blisters.
