I have updated the plane with a fix so it can take off (yay me - read description) and keep the engine on on low revs but once again the Workshop is ridiculously slow with pushing through the update vehicle even though the description has changed. Hopefully it will happen within a few hours.

Fuck you Brick Rigs, fuck you Steam and fuck you Workshop - 8 hours and the plane still hasn't been updated!! Fucking useless the lot of you!!!

A note on this plane - I increased the engine power a little to compensate for the heavy floats, but once again the Workshop and Brick Rigs don't cooperate and the update has yet to been pushed through after 30+ minutes. Hopefully it'll be done soon.

Also the water is a bit weird because it's not "thick" nough to prevent powerful planes from "flying" in it, but if you try to land a floatplane on it it grabs the plan like glue and you will most likely tip over.
But again, it's nice we have water at least. Fingers crossed for more maps with water in the future. :)

Sadly submarines were very possible to build in 1.2 since you coud use encased floats that were attached to couplings and when you decoupled them and the flots were not considered part of the boat anymore (even though they were trapped inside) and the sub would sink, and you coud re-couple them since they were encased and didn't actually move. For some reason Fluppi changed this in 1.3 and floats that aren't attached but trapped in the boat still counts for floating. It makes more sense realistically, but it was such a nice little exploit to use for submarines.

I can a agree with that it wold make submarines more easier to make.The water dose need tweaking

If you mean in the game I think it's really nice there is water on one of the maps (would be nice to have water on more maps), but I'm not ahuge fan of how it's implemented necessarily. It works reasonably well in some ways but not so well in others (as in it's basically "thick" air so e.g. planes with enough power can easily dive down and "fly" under water instead of crashing on the surface). It's a nice addition to the game that could use some tweaking.

Ya like water ?
