An Unconventional Seaplane

41.4k MrVaultech  3.7 years ago

Me being me with warped priorities on what to do, over the past few days while going between a collab and a few other builds, I've been working on a pretty unique seaplane that dates just before WW2 more-or-less.

The He 119, while not initially a seaplane, had I believe two of it's 8 examples built with floats over landing gear, and as shown with this picture, both.

My attempts at taking the spirit and plenty of reference of the He 119 and adding my own changes brings the following P.23a-1e:

Currently, it's using the new glass part from the beta and smooth option for fuselages, neither of which are shown in this picture, though nevertheless it's a exceptionally sleek aircraft.


With the most recent version, the P.23a-1e offers a surprising amount of cockpit space, even with the engine driveshaft running through the middle of said cockpit.
That, and being detailed with working flight controls (save for throttle controls rn), it should make for some very immersive flights once this plane releases after the beta drops.

Lastly, I must really thank Marcox43 for his absolutely amazing seats that he pretty accurately modeled from the He 162! That, and him giving plenty of helpful compliments after spamming him random pics of the thing basically every night since I started making it.

Eitherway, I can't say exactly when this seaplane will release, since I don't know when the 1.10 with go from beta to public launch. Just know that whenever it goes public, this plane should be releasing shortly after!
