Description: Graphics are complete (done in Canada) and the design now moves to the USA were others will be adding the control feeling (they call it 'flight model') to the flight sim model.

The people that do this are in Florida, and the comments I received from the group here was “they need to get the feel right”. Hint-Hint Frank G.

I humbly request the assistance of a knowable Searey Pilot(s) that can assist these guys with a flight in a Searey; they are located in Destin, Florida between Pensacola and Panama City.
My understanding is they are a father and son team Lee & Kyle Prestwood.

I will forward the contact info to anyone that could help please.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far guys and girls.

    Hey Frank, the SeaRey in the photo needs a bikini in one of the seats!

    Frank N, if I understand right, you're asking someone to give these fm designers a flight in a Searey to get the feel. I would suggest that it would take much more than one flight to do this.<br /><br />Then once they get the 'core' fm in, then they need to find a Searey pilot with lots of experience and time, who is also into MSFS, to help them tweak and tweak and tweak the fm. This is going to take some time to get it right.<br /><br />You really need to give this to someone familiar with MSFS, as well as the Searey. Someone at PA should be able to help you, I'd think.<br /><br />If the fm is done right, this should be an excellent training tool, especially for things such as crosswind landing practice, which has been discussed recently on another thread. Hopefully the water handling can be made realistic too.<br /><br />Will the canopies slide open and closed? (Before anyone laughs at that, many MSFS models have that feature). <br /><br />I'm really excited to see this; I've been waiting and asking for a Searey for MSFS for a looong time. Many thanks to everyone involved with this.<br /><br /><br />

    So now the REAL truth comes out re why Frank G has been on the MGTOW kick! Does the 120# size 6 need to be blonde too?

    Nice looking panel, Frank N.--but it isn't a SeaRey panel, not unless the Rotax has been swapped for a Continental. Rotaxes don't have mixture controls.<br /><br />The instruments don't resemble those supplied with a SeaRey kit, either. You might want to send them a photo of a basic VFR SeaRey panel so they know what's what. Move the throttle to the center console. Placard the gear switch. And give it electric trim.     
  
Mark Alan MacKinnon - Jun 25,2005   Viewers  | Reply
    Don, it is my guess that they grabbed some generic gauges to get things going with this. I don't believe there are any Rotax gauges in MSFS yet. I downloaded a Russian sport plane amphibian that supposedly has a Rotax 912, and it also has these same gauges you see above. Hopefully someone can make some Rotax gauges.

    Nice panel for first draft!<br />Tach needs a Rotax range.<br />Perhaps the throttle could be changed to show the top of the standard SeaRey throttle? Don't need the mixture..

    Robert L, no they are flightsimmodels.<br /><a href="http://www.store.yahoo.com/flightsimmodels/">http://www.store.yahoo.com/flightsimmodels/</a>

    Are you going to try and get a sound package for the Rotax Engine?

    Sim model looks great. Frank N. make sure to post how to get this once it is finished. For new Searey builders/flyers like myself, it would be great to have if the feel in flight is right. Although it is no substitute for the real thing, it's far, far better than nothing. Keep up the good work!!

    Progress report? How's it coming?     
  
Mark Alan MacKinnon - Jun 25,2005   Viewers  | Reply
    Frank N., I just sent you an email to your Condor addy....     
  
Kyle Gardner - Jul 17,2005   Viewers  | Reply
    Gday Frank, just wondering if you have a progress report on the flight modeling of the Searey Sim ?     
  
Mark Alan MacKinnon - Aug 09,2005   Viewers  | Reply
    Any news on progress?     
  
Kyle Gardner - Mar 04,2006   Viewers  | Reply
    Gday Frank, do you have an update on the release of the Searey model?     
  
Frank Noordhuis - Mar 04,2006   Viewers  | Reply
    Uncanny, just got a email from him today,<br /><br /><br />Hi Frank,<br /><br />I just got an e-mail from the gentleman who is working on the flight model of the Searey that he was able to make some progress and that all he's got left to do is to put the gauges into the 3-d cockpit. And he wants us to stay tuned.<br /><br />Say hi to the fans,<br />Norm
