I remember once talking to Pyro about floatplanes in AH, and he told me that the current water physics modelling didn't allow it.
Are there any plans to change the physics of the water to enable float planes to take off and land on the water?

umm have you played the game anytime the past week and take offf a cv and landed on the water?

whats your point bone-head?

my point is that we have float plane just put you gear down and fly on the water :)

Well, yes, I guess you could say I've flown a little in the four years I've been here. And usually, when I fly off a carrier, I stay in the air and land my bird back on the CV.
But thanks for that enlightening and witty remark!
:rolleyes:

You can't fly on the water, idiot.
Try playing the game instead of becoming a shark88

i do fly on the water i call it noe i just put my gear down i ride on the ground the entire way :D

I don't understand this, If PT boats can maneuver on water, why not the float of a floatplane or Hull of a flying boat? There is something about the physics of the water model that refuses to allow takeoffs? You can sure as hell land on water.
This sounds like "Marfi" to me.

you can take a pt boat airborne off the water with wind.

Well there you go. Stick some wings on that mutha and it would be one deadly bellybutton float plane!
See, if you can set the water to accept a boat's hull and the land to accept a tank's tread why can't a float plane liftoff from the water surface? It's just programming.
It's not logical. I think someone's putting someone off, it's Marfi. You give soemone a reason something "can never, ever be done" and they stop asking for it.

Float planes should be doable. Flight Simulator 2004 has some enjoyable water modeling with spray and water motion.

It's just programming. That whole "physics of the water model" nonsense is just to get guys to think that Mr. Science has spoken.

Sakai, I didn't mean to give the impression that Pyro said that it wasn't possible. I think what he meant is that in order to do it the right way, HiTech would want to re-model the physics of the water. I was just wondering if AH2 was the right time to do that. I hope it is. Would be cool to take a floatplane along on a squad mission and pluck your squaddies out of the water and fly them back safely to base for some extra perkies. :)

Oh I agree, it is simply a case of programming, I just think HiTech is a bit funny about which planes he will or will not model and I think floatplanes are waaaaaay down on the list. Any goading I do is to provide impetus to "show Sakai wrong" by modeling what I want.

I do remember asking HT about float planes and he did say it is something that they'd like to do at some stage. I think they did intend to create a port float plane and introduce it around 1.05 but obviously it got put to the bottom of the list.....

I would like to see a float plane............ surprised about the water physics............. I thought all the physics would have been modelled in the AC FM and the terrain just identifies land/sea/air/objects.
