Thank you Bill and Lynn for your lovely re-creation of the Grumman Goose. I grew up with the Goose in s.e. Alaska, and your sereies brings back some of my fondest memories of home.
I am having trouble getting the goose to taxi on the water. It doesnt seem to want to move unless I'm at about 3/4 throttle, and when you pull the power off it stops cold. Is there a setting I could tweak to eliminate this problem? Thanx again for a great reproduction.

Not sure if this tip can help you, but remember to use your water rudder when taxiing on water with floatplanes. And, to turn of "autorudder" may help a lot. The water rudder has to be pulled up inmediately after take off.

Thanx for the tip windrunner, however steering the goose on the water is not my problem, it's getting the aircraft to move with less than 75% power applied. It acts like brakes are being applied, or it's stuck on a sandbar or something. I'll double check my autorudder settings as you suggested tho and let you know if that makes a difference. I'm hoping Bill or Lynn might have some ideas as well. Thanx for your reply.

Lynn and Bill have retired from flight sim designing.
A couple things you can check are that there is wind (for some reason no wind seems to lead to FS2004's sticky water problem) and also make sure you have the airplane realism set to hard with collision detection on as this being set to other settings can also lead to sticky water problems.

Check the landing gear.
