Find a Goose

SOH-CM-2025
Does anyone know where to find the MSFS Grumman Goose G21A Redux II? I had it for FSX/P3D and it was great.
It's been removed from Flightsim.to. I haven't been able to find it anywhere else. There was a big thread on it here 3-4 years ago.

 
Was never updated for the latest Sim Updates, etc. The Big Radials' Goose is from the same developers, and is much better. It's on sale for $11.99 on the official MSFS Marketplace right now.
 
How does this compare to the default Goose ?
If I remember correctly, the OZx Goose had retractable wing floats while the default has fixed ones. But what else ?
 
Aside from the retractable floats, OZx Goose can't even compare to the default Inibuilds/Asobo version. It's a different league.
OZx doesn't even include a proper 3D cockpit (let alone a passenger cabin). You can compare Inibuilds/Asobo version to payware Big Radials' if you want (and I'm still unclear which one to prefer), but OZx is just an early attempt from previous times, unfinished and totally outdated today (to me anyway).

As for the repaints, there are less for the default version because it was released much later, and also because the paint scheme apparently included some specific texture matching problems which kept repainters away from it for a long time, but that was only until Crispy136 burst onto the scene. He finally managed to fix those problems and came out with quite a bunch of wonderful repaints for it. You can find them on the usual sites.
 
Of the 3, I prefer the OZx.
It has more 'atmosphere' in the cockpit.
It has an AP, which, if I could get VS to work, would suffice:)
& the floats retract, which I prefer.
I've flown all three & OZx is the one I go back to.
It may have come off .to when there was that change in listing conditions/ creators pulling their aircraft shemozzle.
