Update McCoy Water Effects Released

For those who who like to fly amphibians, flying boats and plain old floatplanes, Mr McCoy has released an updated version of his water effects package, this is version 4:

There are a few more choices with this package than the older version and a improved water sound file. I found the MED or medium effect seems to work best for large flying boats such as the Catalina, Martin Mariner etc. Although it did produce and interesting problem with the Aerosoft Catalina, namely artifact breakthrough (same as the flashing beacon problem in some models) of the spray into the cabin and hull, not sure why that is but it did not happen with the others. Either way once you get the right effect for the aeroplane you use it is great. The SM (small) seems best to my eye for the Beaver.
 
[EDIT] I just tested the effects in FSX Steam, and they do in fact work nicely on the default aircraft. Turns out the issue is with my Martin Mars. Still it's a nice upgrade......
