Well... I only wish it were a documentary of the REAL flying boats of WWII. Considering Kalafrana Bay on Malta harbored the flying boats. I'm very sad to see it wasnt what I thought it was:(

Well, I was hooked by the title, too, but I really enjoyed your stunts. Great turning with that boat! :aok

Edit: btw, can we download your movies from youtube?

I don't think you can download the originals from there.

If anyone knows a good site for hosting them,
I have 30MB files of each of the videos.  They are higher quality for larger screens.

Hey, how did you manage to jump the boat? Or did you just film someone with a warpy connection?

Well, the boat jumping is part of 2 bugs...
1) when you run into a CV, or other ship, your bow will start to go under, if you hit at the right angle.  Usually to the side of the ship.  Then when it brakes free it is "bouyant" and jumps out of the water.

2) When you use AH film viewer, the Ships follow the EXACT course.
So if the ship is turning when you film.... in the game its off course (wide turns).  That's where I ran into it with the PT.  But when you  play it back on the viewer, the viewer puts it exactly on course.... so you see the ship in a different place.  This leaves the artifact of the collision (boat jumping/rolling) with nothing around it.
