Oh nice, i could read the German ( i don't write it ) and thanks for that free advertising :) the French "FireFighter Pelican Jaune" will become popular in Germany. May be some German people who had holidays in the south of France from 1964 to 1970 could remember it. > What I could not manage until now is to see the water falling after > filling the a/c on sea as you described (used "L", enough speed and time). > When I press "l" there is a little stutter (which might be caused by the > falling-water-sim) but I cannot see anything. > I tried it with both versions of the Catalina. > It might be related to my FG version - it is OSG but not osgviewer (I > tried to compile it with --enable-osgviewer but got an error at last, > have to try it within the next days again).

So, i don't explain that you don't see it. When the water tank (/consumables/fuel/tank[3] is fully loaded (1083 gal_us) the Aircraft has some difficulties to get altitude, To load , usually i start to get in touch, gliding on the water, at 100 kts with half throttle and the elevator pushed to keep the nose on the water i need, during loading, to increase to full throttle and, to release the elevator, in order, to raise the nose, and to reduce the drag, the aircraft is getting more and more weight and the speed decrease to 70 kts. (during the loading period you must see the wakes, which is significant that you are in touch). Anyhow, in order to give that feature easier , i have included a switch which accept to bomb with at least 500 gal_us of water (you have it). I know, i must implement an outside and inside indicator which says , "ok you have enough", :) To check the loading you may from the menu use the property browser with /consumables/fuel/tank[3]. > > Regards > Georg > Thanks Cheers -- Gérard ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
