Also tried this.
With several AC and also with a Catilina.
Tried to force it to land on a landbased airstrip, since I thougt it had retractable wheels.
But it allways come down on the nearest larger open water, on rivers its not clear, sometimes it happens to meet water by accident mostly it just lands on flat land or crashes on not so flat land.
If it lands on flat land, all the men jump out and run, if it touches down on land but slips so far that it happens to come to a halt on water, they remain inside.

To make a mission where rufe takes off from water near a ship filling in as seaplane tender,conducts its mission, how to get it to land engine running to near ship. Since there is no seaplane point I tried test runways 4_6 but no luck with landing engine on. Test runways were set to same color as player and linked in landing tab. Is there a tip or trick to obtain a seaplane airfid on any map with water??
