Some seaplanes just look different.

Talk about different. Image an turbo engine placed on top of the mid-wings of a GA aircraft. You'd have the Dornier Seastar. if a dev were to take on this project it would be almost like modeling two aircraft in one.

Of course, it is at least somewhat based on a much earlier Dornier design.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dornier_Do_X

I can see that. I've been flying the MU-2 by TOGA and it really reminds me of Dornier 228.  The Dornier is much eaiser to fly, I believe. The MU-2 was developed by Mitsubishi while the Dornier was developed in India. For some reason, I rarely fly any of my seaplane variants of the aircraft I own - Beaver, Otter, Porter, or Caravan among others.
