    Is it possible to get an anchor or a rope or some way to simulate tying the caravan to a dock? Currently the only option is active pause which totally pauses the movement of the plane. It would be nice to have a anchor that freezes the aircraft's movement on the horizontal plane but still lets it bob up and down and rotate.

      In MSFS2024, you can use the option for "Toggle Freeze LAT/LONG" and assign it to a key/button, and it'll work like being anchored/moored.

      Edit to say that in my experience so far, your plane will still weathervane... Also, just for fun, run up the engines while freeze is active and watch the ensuing bending of space/time on the water's surface (I'll leave it at that). 😉

        An anchor option would be nice though, the Beaver developed by... Milviz IIRC, had an anchor which was really nice when you wanted to do but when it was moved to 2024 and the tablet they had was converted to the default 2024 one, it lost the ability to do it. 😞

          @Melon Yeah, the Got Friends Wilga also has an anchor. They also have a paddle system so you can paddle your plane which is excellent. It would be nice if Black Square added something similar to this.

            A couple others with anchors include the HU-16/G-111 Albatross and the Nardi FN-333 Riviera. Before the anchor was added to the Albatross, I tried using the lat/long freeze for for some reason couldn't get it to work reliably, so I gave up on it.

            I would love an anchor in the Caravan
