It would cool if someone would make a float plane Cessna with pontoons.

Giday Ball Zack,
Great idea, I could use that for stealth missions :). The Black Ops Piper(made by Lee_H._Oswald)would also be great to have pontoons. Flying under Nogovo Bridge, middle of the night 8), engines cut, just the quite splash of your plane landing on the water.
Cool stuff.
-
but is it possible to give a vehicle both boat and plane properties?*I think so*
-
yeah it has been done by A.I.A. whit a JU-53 i believe
but unvortunily the plane can't be downloaded anymore, i think
-
the JU52 or whatever has the floats and works quite well
they made the helicopter with floats also although i never was able to float with it
-
The Ju52 uses an object that's just a flat plane called a Ju52floater. Instead of resting on the water it rests on that. Keeps the plane from sinking, but makes landing on water feel like your landing on ice instead. I was hoping someone would come up with a plane that acts like a boat on water but can fly(flying boat?). Would have to make a new vehicle class. Interesting challenge for addon makers.
Actually I haven't seen any Cessna type aircraft other then
the one that came with OFP and retextured versions of it.
-
Things like the Sea King should certainly be able to float.
As for deploying spec ops from aircraft, then you'd need some way of deploying a rubber dinghy from them; perhaps a script to spawn a Zodiac, until someone models one of the more handy inflatables...
