Northrop N3PB floater by A.F. Scrub

Just came across this bird on Flightsim.com. The Northrop N3PB. It has floats, a radial engine....what more can you want in a plane. File name is: northropn3pb_floatplane.zip

Haven't checked it out yet...but I'm going to before I go to bed.

Also found a plane he just uploaded a week ago. Siebel FH104. File name: siebel_hallore.zip
 
To say the plane has a good VC would be stretching things a bit. It's a primitive looking VC by today's standards....on the level of a CFS2/early FS2002 VC perhaps. Beats having to VC all to heck...but don't jump into the plane expecting a Milton Shupe or Piglet level of VC. It has a moving flight stick, some moving rudder pedals....primitive but there. Overall modeling is not really detailed....it's a basic representation of the plane....not a in-depth simulation of the plane. Will I fly it from time to time, yeah. Will the plane be in my install of my regular fliers...no. It's a nice package to have to get a taste of a very rare aircaft...I think there is only 1 in existance today.

Many of Mr.Scrub's airplanes have a few rough edges when compared to the truly great ones like Milton, but then so do most other ones. It kinda happens that way when you compare anything to a diamond.
But he has given the community a great variety of airplanes not offered by anyone else for the same prize.

The VCs are usually functional enough to fly the airplane from there but typically are the weakest point of the airplanes. Of course when you develop airplanes of which there are one or two remaining in the world getting good documentation to model after is probably also quite difficult.

I just added the Siebel to my hangar...nice and rare.
