in late version of MBR will be RPK2 ... i mean if set on map 42 ( or more late year) on pilot panel you will have radio navigation gauge ...

When an airplane is used to be taken through a road, it is necessary to have certain caution with the different unevenness of the ground. In most cases, if the plane is tail dragger, and it meets a slope of the ground, it hits the ground damaging the propeller. When using a tricycle landing gear airplane, this effect is less damaging to the aircraft. In the case of an amphibious airplane, as is the case of the MBR, is it possible to go from water to dry land without causing a collision between these two surfaces?

in fact MBR2 wasn't amphibious airplane at 100 persent meaning of this word ...
MBR was or float ( boat i mean ) version .. or Gear ( wheel/Ski version ..)
for MBR wasn't plan to take off from water surface with attached wheels or ski...

it's not a PBY on which you can up and down gears depends of plase where you want to landing ...

but i think you can make successfull landing MBR to ground on boat .... and with some risk you can try land on water with gear ... but it will be some kind emergency landing ...

...

But they were used with trolleys as well for pulling up the slip (or other slope) or pulling down to the water. I don't attach pictures as I'm sure you have seen them a lot.

sure... we saw it ... but that trolleys is only ground tech crew equipment ...

So, could it be possible to make those trolleys "appear" only on the ground (as with Me 163), not in the air?

at first as far i know its problematic in Il2 game mechanics .. some kind like with sbp I16 and TB3 ... but here is more difficult ...

and second thing, as far i see it have no sence ... MBR on ground troley need only to deliver flying boat from dry hangar to water surface ... it makes by ground tech crew... or may be some vechicle ... it take some time.... and after it in water ground personal by hands detach bogie chassis and troley and only after it flying boat ready to take off ...
all that process is only prepearing to flight..

not sure that that part of process need here ...
