Sea Plane Bases

In the past when I used to tinker with FS9 I had a good few Sea Planes flying around, I converted a lot of them to act as ai, one I remember was this unusual German WW2 that I spent a couple of days getting it to take off and fly normal as an ai, in the end I did it.
Well going through my old back up disks I came across some of them and as you know they are classic and some vintage, but now my problem begins because I also made a few seaplane bases but they were fictional and as pointed out there is no room for fiction on this site, I did a search but all I could find was floatplane bases and most of these were in Canada and I want to fly mostly in Europe.
So do any of you know of a seaplane AFCAD source, I can make my own but will it matter if they are fictional after all it is on my PC alone and I'll just have to pretend lol?

Ha Ha, how and why did I miss that, thank you so much, that is great, it will keep me busy now for the rest of the day (and night) lol.

Do any of you use the flying boats, I was trying last night to tweak an ai Shorts Solent 4 just to go that little bit faster, not like a super jet but just a bit but in the end I gave up, what is the best and easiest way to do this, like I say not to have it flying like a rocket just a bit more speed?

The Seaplane AFCADS were not up to scratch but at least I know where they are/were now so I can make my own, but thanks for the link I will keep looking for more.

Not sure about AI speeds, they might be set in the Traffic tools bit. Otherwise look in the aircraft.cfg & increase the thrust percentage in the prop section. Could also reduce the drag in the flight tuning.
