We've gotten a bunch of emails lately from users wondering how they can initiate a seaplane flight on the water. While in the real world you can use a dolly to get off a land-based runway (or the wheels if your aircraft is an amphibian), adding full power in the Flight Simulator X Beaver or Goose while you're on land doesn't do much except waste fuel. What's a virtual seaplane pilot to do?

Well, we asked our data team to generate a list of all the designated water runways in the Flight Simulator X facilities database. Mike Singer spills all in: Water Water Everywhere: The fine art of finding a water runway.
