Cool, look good and go great with my USCG 206 on floats.

Hmmmm ...........
Curious to see how they will price it.

Hey, that'll be perfect for tooling around SE Alaska.

Great news

i wonder if those who just bought the wheeled version they put out, will get the floater for free?

That's what I was thinking at first, or at least a discount.
But I've fallen into the trap of confusing simming with real life again - of course if I had a real C172N then adding floats would be cheaper than buying a whole new aircraft.
But this is a whole new model so I would expect it to be full price.
Carenado will probably come up with a deal involving the float and wheeled version together but I expect that will be all.
In that respect (and at the risk of sounding ungrateful which I am not!) I wish they would have come up with something like a C170 Float instead - something entirely new.

I agree - I cant remember what the Stationair price policy was for the amphib model?

I bought the amphib addon and, iirc, it was $10, but that was 3 computers ago, so I won't swear by it...

when i bought the 206 the floaters came with it.

also, doubt if it's a whole new model. they prolly took the 172 and erased the wheels, added ski's, tweaked the cfg a little and called it a day. looks like they added a little triangle under the tail. and a different paint job.
