    Flysimware Grumman G44 Widgeon

    Flysimware updated their Grumman Widgeon for MSFS: https://www.flysimware.com/FLYSTORE_...n/18-msfs-2020

    A little brother for the Grumman Goose!

    You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.
    For MFS paints go to flightsim.to

    Thanks Jan Kees !

    Could you snap a few VC shots please ? Nothing to see on their website..... ?

    30 bucks is a bit of a steep price for a model without a custom soundsuite...

    If it comes with a white RAF Gosling livery i might've to buy it for old times Airfix 1:72 model's sake.. (in plastic bag) Talking about 1960... ;-)

    here's the VC:

    Let's say it's not the sharpest pencil in the box, and they advertise it as a beta, so strangely enough, the altimeter seems to be inop. Odd, in an aircraft. Still, I think it is a fun aircraft, somehow I like things like this a lot more than any 172 or 747, however nicely they might be modelled.
    As for that white Gosling paintjob, that would be easy to do, I found my old FSX paints work well with a few adaptations.

    ...and also no altimeter? And I thought the Bell 47 chopper was expensive!!

    I wonder what's better in this Widgeon than our beloved freeware Grumman Goose.

    it might be a little overpriced - Flysimware make nice products but MSFS needs a cut above. Even in these screenshots there are some vertices visible around the nose of the airplane etc..
    I was hoping this one would get a bit more finessing before they brought it over - but this looks like a straight transfer of their existing model..Which I loved in FSX, but now that we've seen what is possible in the new sim...
    I might still buy it on sale - but would have gladly paid a bit more if they had really smoothed it out for MSFS

    Not even close. The freeware Goose is superb. And.... there is now a Cessna 172 amphib (on flightsim.to), that leverages the MS2020 model. All free.
    Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.

    Thanks for the VC shots, Jan Kees, and nice to know the altimeter will work eventually.

    I love this type of aircraft but if it's really a straight port-over i'll pass.

    Devs should be made aware we don't go for this..

    Does the Widgeon leave a wake on water, now that SU5 introduced wakes?

    (I'm asking because AFAIK the Goose doesn't...)

    I plan on buying it. I like FlySimWare and how they stick with their products.

    The Widgeon has a wake, not brilliant, but it's a start
