McCoy Water effects

Has anyone using P3D V4.5 successful using the McCoy water landing effects?

I tried it on the Ozx Goose and didn't see anything. Reverted back to the stock

water landing effects.

I use them and they work just fine.

With the Grumman Goose, was having wake issues using the McCoy effects. I got in touch with the author, Vince MC Coy, he advised me to use a program that will lower the goose in the

water thus activating the McCoy effect. I did, and now it is fine. He did mention that he didn't recommend any of his effects for use in P3D v4.5 or higher because of how all effects have been

revised by Laminar Research. They've sped up timings or execution speeds but on his copy of v4.5 they all still work, just not as intended. Another problem he noticed with the Grumman Goose G21A

is that the stock aircraft does not sit low enough in the water to activate his effect, he addressed this problem along with a solution that involves revising the config file and try "Grumman Goose

Realism Fix" by Stefan Weiss. https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/17809/fsx-grumman-goose-realism-fix/

Great information. I'll have to try this out on the Goose.
