Brief description of the issue:

Aircraft is stuck on water and will not move!

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

Major problem: Is anyone else having problems with the aircraft being grounded? or better yet “watered” I spawn the aircraft onto a runway then with “slew” mode “Y” key, I move the aircraft to the water/ocean, but from there, the aircraft is stuck, if I cut the engines, I can use the tug boat, but restart the engines and again, the aircraft is stuck, it won’t move an inch, if I slew to an altitude of say 500ft, the plane slowly falls back into the water and comes to a stop and becomes stuck again, the only way around this is to “slew” up to 4000ft and release slew, the aircraft will nose down slightly, gain speed and fly, you can then land the plane and it remains unstuck from the water and acts as I believe it should from the very beginning, you can now take off etc, but alas, this is a huge game breaking bug and really makes it a drag to fly and I only just purchased the mod, arggggg, so bumbed out and for the life of me, apart from slewing to 4000ft, I just cannot get the aircraft to be unstuck and cannot find anyone online experiencing the same problem, arggggggggggggg

PC specs and/or peripheral set up if relevant:

Build Version # when you first started experiencing this issue:

Unsure of version, it should be the most recent, I just purchased the aircraft today.

UPDATE: I just tried the Spruce Goose out and exactly the same thing is happening, the aircraft will only become unlocked and responsive if I slew to over 4000ft! otherwise the aircraft will fall to the water and become stuck.

and also, in case of the Spruce Goose, if I slew to under 4000ft, the aircraft comes to a complete stop in midair! no airspeed and no drop in altitude, where the Dornier will drop back to the water.

Finding it a bit hard to believe that I’m the only one experiencing this issue?

Hi, you are not alone ! After having read your post I wanted to try the slew mode now from a runway of LIPZ to the nearby lagoon with a C172 G1000. Well, after having lowered it to the water and pressed “y” again to disengage slew mode…the C172 was stuck in the water as it was glued on the ground .I tried many thing …I put the throttle to full hoping that something was going to happen and,with my surprise, after about 20 seconds. the C172 started moving forward as normal.I tried one time to slew (up and down)from inside the water and the same weird effect repeated again. Tried to slew a second time …without this problem . Then tried again to slew from the same airport and ,once on the water, didn’t have any problem to float.

I’ve noticed another weird problem : once in the air I did a short tour over the islands and ,at low speed , I put the flaps to 10…then the flight was frozen …put the flap to zero and moved the elevators up and down and the scene was back to normal.
There must be some bugs here introduced who knows when?

A few months ago I used this area for training with many different default floatplane and with the Kodiak 100 as well. Never faced this type of problems. Something is wrong here and need to be fixed.
