I just found way to use this tugboat anywhere in any conditions. Here is what you have to do:

• make sure you have MSFS development package installed.
• select a float plane.
• select an area as arrival near the water where you would like to use the boat.
• set weather conditions
• start the flight and land the plane on the water
• use the plane selector in development panel, find the tugboat at the bottom of the list
• whola, have fun with the boat.
• if you switch into the internal view mode, make sure you do not change to sideviews. otherwise, the sim would crash/freeze.

Thanks .. enjoy video and all of the flight plans.. great! Thanks for using my tug boat in it.. the model has a history.. A friend about 12 years ago asked me to build it in (FSDS) model program.. he used it for his own personal tugboat
and I used it for freeware and it is in a couple of Abacus projects.. I later used it in the (DRZEWIECKI DESIGN) mission I made for FSX in the (Miracle on the Hudson river landing in his NYC scenery) It shows up at the end of the fsx mission as a rescue boat.. also try my -- https://store.flightsim.com/product/rdj-simulations-blimp-flight-for-msfs/

Seems to be nice, but it´s not working for me.

I load the flightplan, start it, i see the intro flyover for the airport, then the boat in high waves, much higher waves than in your screenshots, it also looks as if the boat was too deep in the water. If i click to start it, it takes 1 or 2 seconds til i "fall into the water" without any chance to avoid it.

So, for me it´s over after 1 or 2 seconds.
Any suggestions?

Edit: no other mods installed

Only one thing missing, the wakes from boats (and the Icon for that matter). Asobo needs to fix that.

I think these (Water) files waves and foam look like the dev from (Silent hunter 5) a sub sim that came out 10 years ago.. It could be from the dev that did (U Boot) sim only a few years ago?? Either way it is a great job to put this in flight simulator.. All you have to do if you want to see this is load a plane into the (World globe) and zoom in with mouse to an airport near water and select it as (Departure) and then before you load the flight just mess with the options.. Change the hour of day... and most important select in the (weather section) select (Storm) .. When all done load your flight and you will have the sea waves... you will also have random rain storm and clouds about... This is the only way to do this for now with a (saved flight) You can mess with the wind levels and raise the cloud levels and do a clear sky with the waves still present but you cannot (save it) like that to fly it later... The saved Flt file must have (\WeatherPresets\Storm.WPR) in the saved flight file.. (ScatteredClouds.WPR) or (ClearSky.WPR) will not work.. The best thing you can do is (General settings) set all clouds to (Low) .. you will have water waves and less storms

After using this mod for a day, I believe I have never seen water textures as realistic as these in flight simulation in the past. I don’t know what settings Noshadez used to achieve them but he succeeded, his addon reminds me of the feeling I used to have with my real boats. These may be normal FS2020 heavy weather seas but I have tried to set up very windy situations in Flight Simulator in an effort to see huge waves beneath my aircraft but the view from above was not quite as impressive as what I see around Manhattan when I launch this addon. The shape of the waves, their white scum, everything is realistic and reminiscent of real boating in heavy seas and stormy conditions. Some odd artifacts are sometimes visible in the waves, and these look like huge black walls rising vertically from the bottom of the river until their tops occasionally emerge through the rolling waves but, to be fair, these are not always visible and they do not detract much from my enjoyment as I use this tug. These anomalies have no effect on the tug’s motion through the water. I have used ‘boats’ in FSX rivers and lakes but there’s no comparison to Flight Simulator’s waters for that as real as it gets impression.

A word to Andrea87: I did not know how to install this addon because it comes in a .rar file and I had never used that kind of file before. I found that once extracted, one containing folder had 2 Community-type yellow files and I placed both in my Community Folder. Another containing folder had 3 Flight files and I placed all three files inside my ‘LocalState’ folder. I found this in the string that opens my Community Folder (look inside Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe), it’s the line just below LocalCache. After re-starting the sim, I used Load/Save and was able to launch the ‘tug’ from there, to my great enjoyment.

I hope my friend (drzewieckidesign) will do this city as a payware.. I think this is the 3rd time Microsoft or Asobo have removed all of the NYC custom scenery after an update.. It is right now like (Box city) no World trade center and no other custom buildings.. They must be having a problem with their DEV

New York City Tug Boat Tour. Wow! What a ride. You’re suddenly in very stormy Manhattan waters and you’re at the wheel of a tug boat. Really heavy seas all around, with lots of wave and wind noise. Scary, almost.

Observations: This is a ‘Flight.’ You find it by going to ‘Load/Save’ in the Menu as Flight Simulator finishes starting up. Click its name and you’ll be able to load it with the yellow ‘Fly’ button, although you can’t change the time or the weather conditions.

As the ‘Flight’ opens, make sure your throttle is closed. Mine was not fully closed and my tugboat ended quite a ways up the streets of Lower Manhattan before I realized I had to maneuver the tug with my yoke and throttle as I would a regular aircraft. Also don’t open your throttle too much or the Tugboat will take off and ‘fly.’ Really!

To see the tug, use the buttons you would use to see your aircraft as you fly.

I’m still learning my way around this fun download so I haven’t gone far with it but, so far, lots of fun.
Thank you, Noshadez.
