A seaplane would be great and i think it could be done but i'm not entirely shure.

That's one of the aircrafts ofp needs alot. The other is a biplane. One is out, but it really sucks. Does any body know what i'm talkin about?

Yeah ;Da biplane, ;)how cool, a Bristol Buldog would be soooo cool, have a loock at the atachement.
 A air unit capable of landing on water would be very usefull, specially for infiltration missions, a water landing chooper could be nice too, but the Cesna is probably the easyest one, I don't know.
 A plain or chooper that can relise a black op team with a zodiac in the water like the Seals do would be even better, but that smells of script to me.
Later all.

I've been wanting this one too, but I'm not sure how successfully it could be made.

It can't be done unless I did somethin wrong in the Config.cpp , I made a plane the other day and said that it could float, everything was right but, when I put it in the game it becomes a submarine, which is really cool and everyone wants it, but the problem is that it can fly out of the water, which I like that too but it doesn't suit the purpose very well. So my guess is that it can't be done.

Srry ppl. :(

Weel I am not in the scripting language:But for how much I think and what I know about the config.cpp it could be done.
My logic works like that:why can the choper land but is stil a air unit it can land on "land"(he,he) but it canÂ't land on water.
Therfore I would change in the config.cpp file:Leave the main line for air unit and change the line where says something like land for water or is that wrong.I mean that it should work.Cause in my opinion there must be a code for the land option in .cpp file.But I will check that out"i wiil try"

It is not possible. Even if u make it canswim=1 like in BMP or M133 it will drown like all other planes.

That's something that they should of changed in the next version but they didn't. >:( Anyway, you land the plane on the water then taxi it to a dock or somethin. That simple.

Why would you be dead if you would miss the dock.What I mean with this is how to hell do you get out of a boat than? ???

I was just thinkin that one of thoes islands had dock and it was wery deep water around the dock, but offcource its the same problem whit boats.

Then i was thinkin that maybe the cessna could have rubber boat and player would move in it (whit script)
just though.

I made a fairly good construction awhile back, before Resistance was out.  I placed a concrete block  beneath the docks, so there was enough room for maneuvering but it wasn't deep enough for you to drown.  By placing something like that on a model and stairs leading to the top of it you would have a very useful dock that you could actually use.

So is some one doing this then?

Did try,but no sucsess.Dont know how to code the .cpp file.

im pretty sure its impossible...

you can make a plane fly - but it wont land on water...

you can make a plane float - but it wont take off..

simple hey?  :P
