Sunderland - Landing

[Yo-Yo]

Hi,

Is it possible to have the Sunderland land on water?

I tried:

1) Just asking to land in water by putting a waypoint there - it landed at the nearest land airfield (rather well in fairness albeit without wheels)

2) Putting an airodrome and runway in the water - it nosedarted into the ground (on two tests)

So, I suspect the answer is that it cannot, but could someone confirm this please?

(Can it takeoff from water is my next thought)

Thanks.

The Tobruk map has several seaplane bases where you can land and take-off.

Sorry my question relates to the channel map. It's ok if it deosn't, I just want to know if I'm chasing my tail there?

YoYo,

This work in a "It's CloD!" way.

You need put a runway object in the water for planes landing there, or they will search the nearest airfield on map for land.
Thing is that (invisible) runway put that yellow or red/white boards signaling the landing strip in the water, more "immersive" impossible,
and seems water don't have friction, so take ages for stop.

The other hydroplanes try landing with wheels down, with catastrophic results, other issue is that some regions near coast water don't have depth.

BTW - If you try use the small boats (e.g. lifeboat) available in FMB, will see that some think that are "submarine" and others that can fly.

Spiritus just ran some tests on the latest Tobruk build. He can place a runway in the water on the Channel map and seaplanes will land and take off.

This code update will come to all Cliffs owners on release day so you can try it out then.

That's really cool to know. Thanks.
