Yep, you're right - I completely forgot the C182 does not have floats. Benih - couldn't you quickly make some ?
But seriously, what aircraft do you suggest then ?

I have to descend a few hundred feet first before I can climb again

Sadly, thats a little more effort. But I just added a ticket to the queue: https://github.com/HHS81/c182s/issues/452

And, just a reminder for others who are interested in the Wednesday evening GA (General Aviation) events, you'll get a warm welcome so come and join in - there is a mix of experience and the emphasis is on having some fun (and learning some new things) details are posted on the 'Information' thread (to try and keep things tidy) so have a look here for the plan for the coming Wednesday: https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=39213

a little quick googling shows there are mods to add floats or amphibious to the c182s...
i didn't look very deep but the next question that came to mind was, "does the c182s also needed a larger engine like the c172p needed for its floats/amphibious setup?"
