History for Water Airports:   • Part 1 Old in Scandinavia |   • Part 2 Modern in Sweden |   MSFS Addons

MSFS Addon - Early Water Airports in Scandinavia, around 1930
   - New ver 0.5,  April 25, 2023       (Coming soon: 8 more in Sweden after 1945!)

Water airportes for MSFS - 9 old in Scandinavia

Ver 0.5: - Improved exit from Lindaränge to the sea. - Permission obtained for converted aircrafts and cars as static objects. - Scenery sent to flightsim.to, hoping for publication. - Since before: static planes (Ju F13, Do Wal, Ju-52), old cars, buildings, see e.g. Kastrup-Old.

Aircrafts
Oldest:  Junkers F13 and Ju 52, Dornier J Wal,
  by Oliver Mosel, buy at MSFS Marketplace.

Around WWII:  Grumman Goose and DHC-2 Beaver, free.

Modern: Zlin Shock Ultra (easiest), Icon A5, CubCrafter XCub, Cessna 172 Skyhawk, Pilatus PC-6 Porter.


I recommed Ju-52!, price 15 €
Start from water airport in addon:
- Cold start: '1' in water (dock_GA), or '2' om land
- Rwy-start, engines running!

Tips
"Parking brakes" - not for seaplanes!
  The plane moves by engine power and by wind.
  - ActivePause stops the plane. Still functioning are e.g.:
   Start engine with Ctrl-E. Stop with Shift-Ctrl-E.

"Drone -flying" - click 'Ins' for On,Off.
  Move around with keys:  W,S forth,back.  A,D left,right.
   R,F up,down.    Num-4,6 turn left,right.

Some Start Alternatives:
- From land to water
   Sart from land-ramp2. Drive plane into water, pull gear up (G), fly away.
- From water to land
   After water-landing: drive plane to shore, put gear down (G), drive up on land.
- IRL: In real life one often used small wagons and winches.
