Cigarrette_Man,
A game update in the past broke that. Try to fix it by yourself if it is fixable, because currently I have no time to fix.

Fly over water and press "fly close to water" hotkey. Then extend the hose and start the pump to fill the water tanks.

How do I pick up water?
Ozworks 11 Sep, 2020 @ 8:55pm 
love thes tipes of planes
ChocoHalk 14 Aug, 2020 @ 4:18pm 
yeah i found out the hard way, haha
Thales  [author] 14 Aug, 2020 @ 12:39pm 
@ChocoHalk,
Flying close to water is dangerous and I'd not advise leaving it ON before going bed. There's a lever on the pilot's left to adjust how close you want to fly above water.
ChocoHalk 14 Aug, 2020 @ 12:07pm 
i love this plane but when i put on fly close to water and i went in the bed the thing plummeted into the water and i just charged the battery, its still a really good plane and i really like it

Takes time to get use to But dont we all have time :D
BlackTac 30 Jul, 2020 @ 4:14pm 
Absulootlly love it oltime and somemany fetures iv been looking for a aircraft like this!!!
Syd W 4 Jun, 2020 @ 5:48pm 
Oh yes.
Thales  [author] 4 Jun, 2020 @ 3:43am 
For trees
Syd W 3 Jun, 2020 @ 7:22pm 
When you say the flares can start a fire, do you mean for the engines or for things like trees?
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 10:32am 
huh.
Thales  [author] 27 Mar, 2020 @ 10:31am 
Oh, there's a audible warning when battery is close to dead, you can turn on generator when you hear that. Generator automatically turns itself off when battery is full.

Generator draws power from engines but this is not too much that could prevent flying.
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 10:27am 
but it flys perfectly
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 10:25am 
i kept turning on the power generator thingy but apearently i wasn't supposed to
Thales  [author] 27 Mar, 2020 @ 10:08am 
How did you fix your problem?
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 9:28am 
though you might want to add a few things to the instructions so people don't press things they shouldn't
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 9:28am 
I FIGURED IT OUT!
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 9:20am 
also i notice the fuel pressure goes down when i try to take off. is that a problem?
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 9:17am 
question, what is a gyro and do i need to have it on?
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 7:29am 
maybe im just a bad pilot. heh
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 7:28am 
ok im going to keep trying
Thales  [author] 27 Mar, 2020 @ 7:26am 
I already test it after your first messages and it works well.
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 7:25am 
your*
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 7:25am 
oh i found you video. imma check that out. if i do figure it out thank you for all the time trying to help me and i apologize if i wasted your time.
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 7:23am 
first i actually want to see you test it and see if i might have messed up something. i think that would consume a lot less time than me figuring out how to record a video and post it.
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 7:15am 
ok im going to post it once i figure out how to film the vid.
Thales  [author] 27 Mar, 2020 @ 7:12am 
Youtube is easier.
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 7:11am 
is there like a thing where i can send it to you or will i have to post it on youtube?
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 7:10am 
no i did not, and how does one make a video. im sorry i suck at playing on pc.
Thales  [author] 27 Mar, 2020 @ 7:09am 
Did you modify it (and forgot)?
Could you make a video of how you use it (because I can't see any possible problems, I'm testing it right now and it works without any problem.)
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 7:06am 
i don't know if im supposed to turn off anything before i start flying.
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 7:06am 
well i keep them on
Thales  [author] 27 Mar, 2020 @ 7:04am 
No, don't turn off magnetos. (they give electric power to engines)
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 7:02am 
am i supposed to turn of the magnetos or something? ( don't even know what those are )
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 7:01am 
about 3 -4 seconds of flight, no i did not turn of the fuel pumps, the engines did not stop, and no i did not press 22
Thales  [author] 27 Mar, 2020 @ 6:59am 
You said, fly then crashes, how long did the flight take? Did you turn fuel pumps off by accident? What causes crash? Engine stop? Or control surface malfunction? Or maybe you pressed [2] (fly above water) on land?
FalloutGod49 27 Mar, 2020 @ 6:51am 
i don't know either. i do everything step by step yet it still fails. thats all the info i can give. maybe an update caused a bug or something
Thales  [author] 27 Mar, 2020 @ 2:49am 
@FalloutGod47,
I don't understand why it crashes, need more info.
FalloutGod49 26 Mar, 2020 @ 6:30pm 
ok i have tried this by the directions and not by the directions hundreds of times and every time it starts to fly and then crashes! im about to give up soon. please help me as soon as possible
FalloutGod49 26 Mar, 2020 @ 6:24pm 
having problems taking off. the thing starts to fly but then it dies and crashes into a bunch of trees
Fluffybean 22 Mar, 2020 @ 11:20am 
love it

very nice work:steamhappy:
Thales  [author] 11 Mar, 2020 @ 8:52am 
@FoxtrotDelta,
The reason I didn't allow throttle go below 0.15 is because; to start the engines pilot needs to leave seat and go to wings. So, I don't want engines stop in flight by reducing throttle too low accidentally.
FoxtrotDelta 11 Mar, 2020 @ 8:18am 
@Thales
I understand. I did not run the engines long enough for the fuel to be used up in the pipes.
Thales  [author] 11 Mar, 2020 @ 2:30am 
@FoxtrotDelta,
Thanks.
After turning off the fuel pumps engines eventually stop after they use the fuel in the pipes between fuel pumps and the engines. This may take some time especially at reduced throttle.
FoxtrotDelta 10 Mar, 2020 @ 7:30pm 
First of all, just want to say that I absolutely am loving this aircraft. However, one issue that I have come across is that it is near impossible to shut down the engines completely. Even with the magnetos and fuel pumps shut down, because the throttle does not go below .15, the engines continue rotate at approximately 143 rpm. I have tested the design by altering the throttle, allowing a minimum value of 0, and this solves the problem.
