Parking is an issue
Why does my plane sink slightly to the left, everything is ballanced perfectly including cargo Im asumming it must be the pilots weight? so parking the plane is hard enough but because of the weight on the left when I reverse it obviosly turns so i use the left engine but it makes parking so f^@king difficult. Honestly I hate parking it is a nightmare. I'm open to suggestions or that I'm doing something wrong.

I worked out that using the ropes I can pull my plane in so I dont have to park perfectly. Still the lean to the left, anyone else notice this?
Yea, both engines turn to the same direction, even when off, it has some little weight off, when motor on the torque amplifies it, I sugest yoou learn to use differential thrust to taxi, it´s easy if you map your keys or have a dual thrust controller.
Oh, there´s an option also if you like to turn on to simulate water rudder, it help only a little for large radial turn, I personally don´t use cause when I speed up to take off, we dont have a control to lift this water rudder if only at menu options, so the race to take off become to sensitive on rudder control.
The leaning may be intentional, if it's only as far as one of the wing floats resting in the water. The floats are designed to be slightly higher than the waterline when the wings are level so that they can both be out of the water for takeoff (significantly less drag on the water if the only thing touching it is the hull), which means that at lower speeds the plane will lean to one side or the other so that one of the floats can stabilize it.

If it's leaning more than that, there's probably something else going on, but tilting so that one of the wing floats is in the water is normal behavior.
