BobT Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Realising I hadn't tried a water landing since dang I don't remember which iteration of XP it was....11.25 mayyybe? Time to try it with the Otter I thought. Umm... didn't realize there was gonna be passengers. Stay calm people, this is your Captain speaking. Nothing to worry about. Do I need insurance to fly this thing? What an aircraft. Smooth take off until I got the flaps up to cruise then had to crank the trim like a mad man... lots to learn here.. This guy was not impressed. I thought he was the copilot but he turned out to be just another passenger. (of no help whatsoever). We're off to downtown Victoria she lands like a dream.... Happy flights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikbenik Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Great entertaining serie of shots and all the trust by the passengers for you piloting for a smooth water-landing on a very calm windfree moment. On the second last shot it's like you landing on a mirror or on polished ice. I have, as new XP11 user, bad experience for waterlandings that are much better animated in FSX and P3D.

Maybe not with 11.40 I will have to try! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 So that's Milviz's final effort for XP. Done mostly by 'VFlyte Air', it looks good. Your last two are outstanding - glassy water landing technique looks perfect as do the water ripples in number last. What's the secret? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks OND, yes the Otter really is a great model, I'm particularly impressed with the texturing. With XVision (renault's settings...available here somewhere, thanks Pete), UWXP and Twick VR in play with my setup it's hard to know what is causing what! But the alchemy does work and it's different for each person that's for sure. Here's my settings as of today, hope it helps. REgarding the water, have a look at the VRTwick settings...these can make drastic changes...but I notice I also have UWXP set for auto waves...purely accidental and trial and error results here!

Rodger Pettichord Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 BobT, smooth-water landings are the hardest because it is difficult to judge height and distance. Yours was picture-perfect. Nice job. I did notice, however, that you packed along a canoe just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
