Hi all , is it possible to detect the type of surface one lands on, by 
surface type / land cover/ or texture ? In the process of trying to 
design a wake / spray for the Beaver .... I would like to only show a 
spray if landing on water ... it would look a bit silly on land , and 
although it IS a seaplane , some (pilots) apparently take off from 
runways ;) . And  I am adding retractable gear  ,  but came across some 
interesting info while trying  to find out proper operation of the gear.
The gear apparently has very little shock absorption , very difficult to 
control/steer in a crosswind, brakes tend to fail easily .... and very 
hazardous if accidentally left extended during a water landing ..... now 
if I can just accurately model all that !
Cheers ,
Syd
