Mission loaded just fine, music was good. Instructions were visible on screen (I had the captions turned on). However, I'm not sure the mission worked as intended. I flew to the lake, landed on the lake, cut the engines, then got the "Mission success!" notice. No fishing. No hauling loads back to the airport. Maybe I'm missing something. Fun/beautiful place to fly, I'll definitely try it again to see if there's more to it. But overall a solid 3+* rating for me.
Exactly the same problem as Jack...I don't think the program initiates as per the instructions, so no start up music or sounds, also no messages in kneeboard. Great to fly around in Glacier park though.
I got the mission and plane to load ok, but the plane has no guages. What did I do wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thank in advance. edmeister
I agree with Jack above. I can't find any fishing spots. I've stuck close to shore, gone to the middle of the lake, zig zagged from shore to shore, and nothing. This sounds like a great mission, but I'm tired of using my floatplane as a glorified bass boat.
Can we at least get a hint as to where/how to find the fish?
What a fun mission. Worked flawlessly in Steam. This will be one I go back and fly a few times. Starting to like the float planes.
Had difficulties finding where to fish in Lake McDonald. Tried dozens of spots in the lake never heard the fishing reel casting out sound (Sound Files copied into correct FSX sub-folder) or splash sounds (?) Nor received any above mentioned text messages. Also don't know whether to shut down engines or not after coming to a stop on the lake; tried both ways. Anyone have success with this simple mission ?
Basically a nicely set up scenario. I give it a 3.5 stars actually. Very good idea, but like real fishing, you spend a lot of time here doing nothing. Speeding up to x8 works, over that not (regarding fish catching and filling up/dropping off your fish). A superb seaplane is included - first-class model in and out. A good one to practice take offs and landings, mixed sea and land.
