Thank you for bringing this line of flying boats back to life into latest simulators versions! I had to leave them behind when migrating from Flight Simulator to P3D (version 2 up to latest), and it will be a pleasure to do island hopping again with these old ladies!
I guess you have probably scheduled to update also the 38, 39 and 40....
Nice flights coming, guys!

Good to see this for FSX but I seem to have no right rudder deflection on the visual model. The aircraft behaves correctly but the rudder animation only works to the left and is reversed from other aircraft. Has anyone else got this problem?

I have been trying to use it (and the other two) in P3Dv4.2 with the same issue. Additionally, in my case the aileron animation is also affected. When operating them, both deflect up rather than opposite of each other. As you mentioned, the models behave correctly, but the animations seem to be off. The animations of all three of the models behave in this fashion.
