Having problems with the bottom of a seaplane.

How the heck do I get the curves right on the bottom of the haul? Is it possible to do this?

    @SledDriver I already have most of the plane made already now just waiting on a update to fix a mirroring bug.

    @SledDriver I will attempt to contain my emotions until I can return home from my very manly job and check this out. Thank you very much for helping us out here.

    @F104Deathtrap This is about as close as I can get.

    @F104Deathtrap I'd prefer foul language to "exciting" (real men don't get excited. Ever) but site rules are site rules. Feel free to use my build style, I'm always curious to see what others come up with.

    @SledDriver Thats very exciting! (I had to retype this a couple times to remove foul language.) I may copy your style to make a few flying boats of my own.

    @F104Deathtrap I'm happy to tackle it, but keep in mind that because SP doesn't allow changing the cross-section of a fuselage block beyond setting the corner type (square, small radius, medium radius, rounded), not every shape can be created using fuselage blocks. I can probably create an approximation of the hull on the P.144.

    @EpicPigster1 may be able to help, he's made some good floatplanes in the past

    The only person on here capable of making organic shapes like the hull of a ship is @SledDriver . Perhaps he could be convinced to tackle this problem?

    You might have to go with the same method as @DestinyAviation. His Dornier seaplane turned out great despite not having a true keel. https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/BP6urV/Dornier-Do-717-Seedrache

    @TheOwlAce like i said. Fine tuner, overload and patience.

    If you ever find out, please make a big post announcing it. This particular issue has been plaguing the community for years! If you notice, even the full time ship builders usually just make the hull flat bottomed.

    @FlyingThings I dont think a reverse curve is possible in this game yet.

    Fine tuner, overload, a lot of time and patience and skills.
