FSX needs to add seaplane bases in the UK, throughout the Baltic and along the Norwegian coast. Before returning to the UK I live a number of year in Canada. Loads of actual seaplane bases along all three coasts and inland waters, of which many are available in FSX. There use to be (real) bases in Scotland (Tobermoray and Oban) and there are actual seaplane base currently in Glasgow and Loch Lomond but FSX doesn't show them. I cannot find Scenery downloads anywhere for bases and facilities except for Canada, USA and the Caribbean, unfortunately. There are lots of places to land in the UK and Ireland but no docking facilities. Whether it's the J3 cub on floats, the Twin Otter (Viking) DHC-6 float plane, or the Empire Airways flying boats, who else shares the joy and skills required to fly seaplanes/amphibians?

Please enjoy my X-Plane shots of a Catalina flight in Chicago. This is my own modified RAF livery, based upon the detailed Catalina by Mr. O. Faivre (Hydroz). The roof hatches in the model are able to open, and a pilot is placed in the cockpit roof opening, which I assume may have been a real occasional practice in the historical aircraft, during a quiet landing approach. https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/dbtgallery.php?do=browse_user&userid=148757&gal=gallery&id=445&type=albums
