The Consolidated PBY Catalina seaplane is a military designed in the 1930s in the United States. It was widely used during the Second World War, both the U.S. Army by the other allies, performing missions varied.

The initial designation of the PBY plane was simply: "PB" for Patrol Boat, "Y" is the designation of Consolidated, its constructor. He was nicknamed by the British Catalina, in reference to Santa Catalina Island. Aircraft manufactured in Canada were designated them Canso.

This aircraft was first made ​​for "fly in X-Plane." Its creator Olivier Faivre who want to see it in other places had appealed to the FS community to make a portage.
My first attempts to bring the sources to Blender GMax date of late 2010. It was a big first for me and after a lot of research and attempts, the transformation process has been developed and is under control now (harnessed to the Savoia S21).



At present, the aircraft is already usable FS2004 via a very special compilation: it is based on an article by William Ortis on the abolition of certain limitations of compilers from Microsoft and that I had translated for www.pilote-virtuel.com.
