Popular Post paulb Posted August 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2022 I find it difficult to identify locations for sea planes and float planes in MSFS. Anyway, here is one at PAKT Ketchikan Airport, Alaska. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will keep looking anyway! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might there be an opportunity for Orbx to convert some of their P3D ones? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adambar Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Couple nice ones Paul. There are a bunch of seaplane bases, the only problem is I don't know where. I'll let you know if I find them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) To locate seaplane bases inP3D, P3D5, X-Plane and MSFS I installed Plan-G (freeware), built the relevant data base for each sim and then under the Map heading I limited the search (top left hand side) to FloatPlane Bases. Then in the map view you should see all the available bases at Zoom 9 (bottom left hand corner). If not visible just zoom in or out until they are.

Indeed it is, about 230 miles (370km). Well within the range of a C172! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
