New Release: Pilot's Boeing B314 "The Clipper" Flying Boat

Some flights of these impromptu round the world trip would be great activity material in msfs. I will definitely try to reenact their overweight departure from the Congo river at Kinshasa ( Leopoldville at the time), in tropical desert hot conditions with an seriously overweight plane. They barely survived this takeoff not only because of their serious overweight. When they finally got airborne in this river valley their ailerons were stuck and they could only turn through the curves of the river using their rudders. It took them ages before the plane reached cooler less moist air which made the engines run properly.
