Seamax is an ultralight amphibious plane.
It weighs around 300kg empty.
The best simulation for seamax is from Cloud9 in their Fly the Lakes (FTL) scenery package. It may be copy protected but the seamax files are useable when Cloud9 is uninstalled.
The seamax files can be used in FSX, as well as FS2002.
I've also finished modelling seamax based on pictures taken from websites for x-plane 8. It is useful in finding out about its aerodynamic characteristics but not as good as those done by Cloud9.
I shall transfer the characteristics of seamax as denined in FS into x-plane 8 model.
seamax is certainly the plane that I'd like to own and fly around Tanjung Aru, Kota Kinabalu. Please refer to my other blogspots.
Unfortunately I can't seem to be able to contact its manufacturer in Brazil.

Flight Simulator
My experiences with flight simulator games.
They are getting more and more advanced and everyone should try them.
They will learn more and more.
Actually, my personal feelings is that flying an aeroplane is needlessly difficult.
Everything should be simplified as in driving a a boat or a car.
This is the only way to make flying easily accessible to commonners.
With the advent of parachutes for aeroplanes, and advanced navigational and gyro technologies.
It is not a question of costs. It costs more to develop infrastructures for cars than for aeroplanes. The fact that it appears easy to drive a car has nothing to do with its technology but its support.
I just got the strange feeling after flying and using autopilots in flight simulators that there is conspiracy to keep flying an elite affair.
Costs of aeroplanes and training can be lowered with volume, and less ambitions capacities.
Instead of 4 passenger vehicles, we can standardise on 1 passenger vehicle.
