Hello Thales, might be stupid but where is the button for the anchor?.

Update 2 Jan 2024:
- Converted to floatplane by removing wheels for realism. You can still access the old amphibious version that has wheels: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3128705204
- Overhauled wing and floats
- Increased vertical stabilizer area
- Reduced total weight
- Some other tweaks

+rep for thales as a whole he is very cool builder i love his planes, my favorite is the Grumman goose-21
Ohh god the voices! Oct 5, 2021 @ 1:25pm 
As a Colombian with family tradition in the military I really appreciate the creation, seeing how we used them to defend Leticia from the Peruvians in the 1932 war. Thank you for the awsome plane
Vlask Feb 25, 2021 @ 10:12pm 
yup
Thales  [author] Feb 25, 2021 @ 3:50pm 
Were you using it in classic career?
Vlask Feb 25, 2021 @ 10:01am 
this needs to be updated, the old gear box has been removed

k
thx
the fuel trimming thing doesnt show fuel in the tail
{trimming tank if i recall correctley]
i allowed it to pump

@m3girlz,
Don't pitch up early on when you are not fast enough to takeoff.
m3 Nov 1, 2020 @ 8:48pm 
the dang thing wont take off on water
DrakeTheMystic Oct 9, 2020 @ 8:05pm 
I find 16.50% elevator trim to be perfect for level flight now in good weather
DrakeTheMystic Oct 9, 2020 @ 7:52pm 
Thank you
Thales  [author] Oct 5, 2020 @ 4:47am 
Update: Added automatic engine throttle reducer when its temp is over 114 Celcius.

@DrakeTheMystic,
It's still possible to takeoff without enabling reduction gear (burns more fuel). You just need to let it gain enough speed before pitching up for takeoff.

Also even with enabled reduction gear, fuel consumption is not high. Check fuel consumption instruments for expected flight time.
DrakeTheMystic Oct 4, 2020 @ 4:41pm 
thank you
Thales  [author] Oct 4, 2020 @ 12:12pm 
Thanks for report. I'll check the issue.

Updates before v1.0 was more stable, now it feels unstable. Each of the last two updates broke most of my vehicles and I had to update some of them twice. It started to become tiring.
DrakeTheMystic Oct 2, 2020 @ 4:45pm 
in the new update I think they srewed with the engines and now you can only fly this aircraft with the thing that uses more fuel in exchange for more power I forgot what it is called but also it will overheat and the engine will set on fire at the moment it will not fly well for me I really like this aircraft so it would be amazing if you could fix this problem thank you for hearing my complaint
Yamnuska Aug 31, 2020 @ 10:17pm 
would be cool if the images weren't black / white only
Thales  [author] Jun 19, 2020 @ 7:53am 
Update: I removed the gyros because they are 10 mass each now instead of 1 mass before.
Broccoli Jun 14, 2020 @ 8:41am 
Thank you so much for bringing my favourite aircraft and in its floatplane version to Stormworks!
Inept Apr 17, 2020 @ 6:50pm 
Under the wings you forgot to color one peice of the german flag
KasperKRZ Apr 16, 2020 @ 2:52pm 
ok
Thales  [author] Apr 16, 2020 @ 7:58am 
Wedge covers 1x1 area while gyro covers 3x5 area.
KasperKRZ Apr 16, 2020 @ 6:20am 
i thought wedges were the lightest blocks
Thales  [author] Apr 11, 2020 @ 7:44am 
No
BlueKnight230 Apr 11, 2020 @ 7:40am 
Is there a top hatch ?
Thales  [author] Apr 11, 2020 @ 5:09am 
@cdgplayz,
I suggest "Replace Color" tool in the editor.
Vee Apr 11, 2020 @ 2:08am 
This is my idea of the perfect aircraft in Stormworks. Also can you maybe make a version without the historic livery so that people can just add their own custom liveries?
Thales  [author] Apr 9, 2020 @ 1:02pm 
@FireCat17,
Gyros are the lightest blocks. What do you propose for replacement?
KasperKRZ Apr 9, 2020 @ 12:19pm 
it might fly better if the floats were not filled with gyros
Thales  [author] Mar 14, 2020 @ 6:27am 
@CaptainSpeedbird1974,
Yes if you link this page as your source.
Illegal Prime Mar 14, 2020 @ 5:07am 
Hey can I make a repaint for my multiplayer group?
JUST_ANOTHERPLAYER Feb 14, 2020 @ 3:42pm 
Suprisingly stable aircraft and the only plane I have ever succesfully landed (I'm horrible at landing planes in StormWorks so this is a huge compliment in in my logic)
Thales  [author] Feb 10, 2020 @ 7:19am 
@Doodels
Mainly water fins push the floats off water. I used gyros because they are lighest blocks.
Peppie Feb 10, 2020 @ 7:14am 
Why is the float made out of gyros?
Peppie Feb 10, 2020 @ 7:13am 
How did you get it to behave like a proper float plane? Most of my planes nose over when on water.
Sir Arthur Wellesley Feb 5, 2020 @ 7:48am 
not gonna lie this is a lot better than the normal land version :D
Alpha Feb 5, 2020 @ 5:34am 
3D model and the plane inself are amazing!
Tmccanna Feb 4, 2020 @ 12:11pm 
could also just look at the top. wouldve thought someone like you would be sharper
MR MAN Feb 4, 2020 @ 10:43am 
Can you take your profile off of private or share a workshop link pleas? :DD
Thales  [author] Feb 4, 2020 @ 6:41am 
Update: Now you can swap the propeller (near the swing propeller button) in order to reverse on land or water.
Thales  [author] Feb 3, 2020 @ 1:07pm 
@jshmccanna,
Because there is no need for radiator and fluid hoses for it created extensive air drag.
Tmccanna Feb 3, 2020 @ 1:03pm 
nvm it sometimes gets stuck
Tmccanna Feb 3, 2020 @ 1:03pm 
also i cant unfold the bed . it stops at like 20 degrees out
Tmccanna Feb 3, 2020 @ 1:00pm 
also why is there no working radiator
Tmccanna Feb 3, 2020 @ 12:58pm 
its like they sacrificed the comfort budget for the tech and floats. its a cool plane. much more high tech than the last one
FireFrost Feb 3, 2020 @ 8:48am 
Awesome Design Man , Great Work !!!
Blacknoel Feb 3, 2020 @ 8:18am 
love it
