I am hoping to explore the Keys and southern Florida, have installed all the FreeFlow packages.....but all my seaplanes are dressed for the north. Can anyone please suggest a correct livery or seaplane or a Dash 8 or Otter with proper livery for Florida? i have been digging but so far have struck out pretty much. Anything in the region that might fly into Key West, Key Largo or the area will be fine. thanks for any help on this. I had hoped to maybe find something for the Goose but no luck on that yet either.

The Carribean will be next, so hopefully maybe some suggestions may come for the Bahamas and Berumda too. Thanks a lot for any help.

I know that Seaplanes of Key West operates the Cessna Caravan Amphib. Not sure if that paint has been done for the default FS9 version.

I think they also used to operate the Stationair Amphibs as well ...

If you like that neck of the woods and aren't adverse to payware, this is a very nice package,

grab 'the dude' freebie while your there, something different.

available here,

Personally, I love it, add in FSCargo and it's even better, I did tweak it though to add cargo areas and a wharf.

My preference on floaters is Milton's Beech 18.

great idea, thanks very much.

it is looking nice down there, but i think my USA Roads 1.1 is conflicting with the FreeFlow, will have to try to turn it off and see...
