Manual start sequence
The Bush plane has vertical stalls, rolling stalls and a wing over stall.
The Automatic version has an Automatic Landing system with a customizable notecard integrated into the HUD. You can land at the 30+ airports listed in the HUD or add your own.
Once you choose your destination the plane will automatically descend to that airport. The system controls rate of descent and speed, you simply steer the plane left or right.

Both the Bush version and the Automatic version have a built-in automated wind system with the selectable wind direction HUD.
Independent rudder control for correcting yaw.
Articulated ailerons, flaps, rudder and elevator.
Keyboard commands:
s - Start & Stop
There is also a start-up sequence that you can use while in mouselook. The switches are numbered and are on the dash as well as the switch panel above the pilot's left shoulder.

b - Brake
e or Pg. Up - Acceleration
c or Pg. Dn - Deceleration
r - reverse
f - Flaps
ff - Flaps for faster descent

pilot - Typing "pilot" in chat will allow the pilot to resume control of the plane.
ww - Wind - starts wind function
w - Toggles wind direction
x - Turns on variable wind system
(Starts smoke trail on Aerobatic version)
z - Toggles 3 different levels of wind force
(Selects smoke color on Aerobatic version)
For Independant rudder control:
Normal mode:
Shift + Left arrow and Shift + Right arrow.
Mouselook mode:
A/D + Left mouse button
Door - Touch door to open
menu - Opens the Color menu dialog box.
Bush Version:
st - Initiates stall mode. The plane will stall if the angle of ascent is too steep for the current speed.
If the speed is over 70% and the plane is flying vertical it will initiate a wing over stall.
The plane will also lose altitude in turns when flying slower than 50% and rolling through turns at an angle greater than 20 degrees.
See item in Second Life- The airplane has a built-in automated wind system.

Flies lovely well, floats in the water, and looks good
See header, what more does one want :)
It's clearly what i awaited to get, and it's clearly worth the cost.
And it's having so many options and HUDs, that i am still not done with exploring everything hehe
I love it's movement on water, it's realistic!
I already wrote a review on the land version but when the float version of this plane is new to me. It's so fun. Like a rl float plane and unlike other sl float planes, it doesn't sit on the water fully if touched once. There are a few jumps depending on what speed you're landing at. I love the fact that it needs a little extra power to take off water than to take off ground, it makes it more realistic. And I already love its ground version. Java planes are good additions to my fleet.
Great reliable aircraft Something for everone in the box
if you are looking for reliability in sim crossings this it the model itself features a small link set making it a relatively fast crosser and, at [23/23] running scripts, 1376 KB running at 0.251078 ms of CPU time the scripts ate not going to murder any sim you are flying over.
This plane features a nice improved version of java’s flight core and comes in three versions
Auto: this is the Self leveling experience your used to in a Java plane
Bush: this version I less automatic and even has a stall system you can toggle on and off
Aerobatic : great for you hot dogs.
It is very rare to find an aircraft that has something that works for everyone in the box this is one of them.
let’s talk features
Startup and shut down sequence
X wind weather system
Landing auto pilot
Java’s modular HUD system (only were as much HUD as you need)
in short this is a buy that is impossible to find disappointing
Time to get wet!
Just like the regular version, fantastic to fly, very low lag and has all the modern features; fully working dash, full mouselook cocpit control and startup procedure . Taking off and landing on water has never been easier.
Try it, you'll never look back.
Thanks Java for another great plane!
