Seaplanes won't move in water after using slew mode

Hi all,
I’m having a bit of an issue where if I use slew mode to move a seaplane/flying boat from a runway to water, after placing it in the water I can’t get the aircraft to move again. First tried with the Spruce Goose but also affects the AN-2 with floats on. It does work with the Beaver and Grumman Goose however.
Behaves as if anchor is set however its not.
Doesn’t seem to matter if I spawn the aircraft cold and dark at parking, or on the runway.

Oddly, if I teleport the aircraft to a higher altitude, I can fly it around, but as soon as I land on water again it can no longer move. It’s almost as if after spawning on tarmac it thinks it’s still on tarmac, even though you’re on water.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and found a solution.

Thanks

I have tried your steps with the Spruce Goose (Hercules H4) but unable to reproduce. There is no anchor functionality so cannot be that. Don’t know what else to try. Do you have many addons ?, maybe a conflict with one of those ?. Are you on xbox or PC ? I am seeing Xbox on your profile and a ms-store tag, that is why I am asking.

I’m now on PC, I’ll need to change that.
I’ve by tried removing everything from the community folder but no change. Will keep playing around to see if I can find a solution.
It’s not really a big deal but there aren’t a lot of seaplane bases in the UK especially so it limits where you can fly from

I have the same issue with the JU 52, the BRG Goose, Kodiak 100, Clipper

Any fixes for that?

Not that I’ve found.
I’ve actually started creating my own seaplane bases using the SDK so that I can fly from the locations I want to!
