Immensly enjoyable. Amazing for its fine detailing, and the smooth feeling you get once you start the program and explore this elegant seaplane. The Latécoère 631 A was really one of the glories of French aeronautical engeneering. It is sad that none survived to be still admired, and, perhaps, flown once a year ...
Get your terminology correct It's not a float plane or a seaplane it's a flying boat. A floatplane and a seaplane is a land plane converted to water use by the addition of floats.
Thank you @leewilliams2094 ! I wanted to second your comment. Float planes and sea planes are just planes with pontoons on the landing gear. This is a "flying boat", as in "a boat that flies".
Is this an add on for MSFS 2020 please? SUPERB aircraft. I wish they would create a Short Sunderland! OOpsy 12:23 someone needs to check their code! AMAZING detail in this aircraft!
until now, I'm amazed with giant seaplane of American Boeing Clipper or British Saunders-Roe Princess, but I just realized, French also built beautiful giant seaplane... Love the concept, love the design as well...
Once the flaps are retracted, the floats can be stowed

It's ok to call it by other names. Even in the community they have different names for them. But, it's easier to just call it theFB.

Yes, for MSFS 2020. Available on the Marketplace.

I agree!
I really hope the Saunders-Roe Princess is made with this kind of detail!
Not a seaplane it's a flying boat. Sea planes are planes on floats..
@@leewilliams2094 can it land in the sea? Yes or no? If yes, it's also a seaplane.
Amazing aircraft! Do you know how to use the second pair of rudder pedals?
these are foot rests at the extremities of the rudder pedals :)
@@Theyoyo5556 ha-ha, nice 😀
beautiful aircraft!
Where did you take off from?
LFB4 Latecoere Airport in Biscarosse
you left your landing floats down.
Yeah, at the time I was not sure how to retract them.
