Grumman Goose

Out of curiosity what is the Ozx situation ?
I understand some situation or something that has stopped things for Jae Kaye, but is there a future for Ozx ? That man is gold.
 
There are a few upgrades to to OZX Grumman Goose available on avsim including a fight dynamics update and a modified turbo goose model just searh OZX goose on avsim and you should find them
 
I'm not certain i'd call that FDE upgrade an upgrade, but then, I'm biased.
One of the biggest tgings we did with the flight model was to distribute the weight by hand throughout the entire plane according to Grummans blueprints, which i had a copy of at the time. This allowed for a totally realistic flight envelope.
The eal goose porpoises, we duplicated it. the real goose had an optional hi performance engine, we duplicated it. The real goose was designed for manhattan business men who didnt know jack about flying and was therefore one of the most stable aircraft ever designed. we duplicated it. Bruce, Steve and I didnt just give you folks a good airplane: we gave you the ultimate goose and it still holds its place nine years after..


See how long you can hold it at ten feet altitude like i did in the video :D

So, where is this plane? I went to Ozx and a Treetop64 at avsim was doing a FDE update (that was eons ago).
https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/407490-making-the-fsx-g-21-goose-function-and-fly-like-the-g-21-goose/

I can find repaints of it over at avsim but I guess I'd have to find the basic and then the FDE update or...?
Wonder if there was/is a basic file that has all the updates incorporated?

I found this FDE update but not sure if that is right file to download..Scroll to bottom of page.

If you are referring to the floats on the tip of the wings, they can be switched up or down using a button in the cockpit.
They are switched up during flight for aerodynamics, if I'm not mistaken.
