Thanks very much Mark! Very kind words all-round and very much appreciated. I never actually set out to create a “review channel” haha, but I basically just try and show what I, as a simmer, would like to see. I generally try my best not to influence people’s decisions, rather just to demonstrate the addon for what it is. I think even more importantly (to me at least), I’m happy you enjoy the flights! For me that’s where the fun of making these videos comes from; I like to try and create scenarios that are interesting in their own right, with the review taking place alongside. I’m sure there are still many ways I can continue to refine my videos, reviews and channel, but I’m really happy you’re enjoying the content and once again I very much appreciate your sentiment! Thanks again and all the best : )

Would you say the Milviz Porter is way better then the Asobo version?

Yep. Check out the SWS Kodiak too. I never understood the hype on this... nothing about its previews was very impressive to me. And Aerosoft do not support their products like others.

Mate the milviz porter is an absolute beast. Actually even more detailed than the Kodiak in some ways. You're absolutely right for the feathering on the Twotter. This plane needs proper pt 6 simulation, then it would be perfect. It doesn't need to be study level, but the pt6s are the heart of that machine.

@@fontana101 oh my god yes. This thing simulates beta descent and pt 6 stress failures.

@@jxk4500 Like the porter alot, but the Kodiak is faster

My pleasure once again Peter - thanks for watching! The Twin Otter really seems to have divided the community and indeed I even have split opinions myself haha. From a “simmers” standpoint, it’s a shame to see Aerosoft apparently go down the road of catering to a more casual crowd. That being said, I’m really enjoying the aircraft despite its shortfalls and like you, I’m only really interested in what’s going on inside. There are definitely some improvements that could be made to the aircraft and I gather a patch is on the way. Maybe / hopefully Aerosoft will consider “Xbox” releases and then “Extended” releases in the future. Cheers! Happy flying : )

Fair points well made, that’s a great pity the fidelity intentionally hampered to comply with X box requirements.

I really don’t understand this “slash quality for sake of console compatibility” mentality alot of developers and games seem to have adopted. It’s like gaming is regressing rather than progressing. Why can’t they make the features INOP for Xbox and functional for PC? Isn’t it just a matter of disabling said features for Xbox rather than not implement them at all? Agree with your conclusion; it’s making me lose confidence in developers if they can’t figure out how to deliver a product that makes the fullest for the platform it is used on, rather than cut everything back to the lowest common denominator, ie the consoles.

Source?

@@Vograx Points well made, lrts hope the community on PC platform can bring pressure to Aerosoft>

@@AITullball3333 KZfaq seems to not like links in the comments. In the Aerosoft Twin Otter forums, under the Models, Animations, Sound, Manual sub forum, there is a topic Control Surfaces Not Animated? Look there. There are additional examples all over the official forum.

Not sure where my other comment went (maybe removed because I had a link to their forums) but it won't be fixed. The lack of prop feathering is just one of the many casualties needed to make it compatible with the Xbox.

Yeah, it wasn’t me that removed it Joe. KZfaq will have (unnecessarily) removed it for containing and external link I’m afraid.

Spot on Joni! The Twin Otter is great fun and I for one am enjoying it a lot, but it could have been so much more than it is currently (and probably ever will be by the sounds of it). It sounds like Aerosoft have made up their minds about which direction they want to take (going for Xbox / mass sales) and whilst it’s a little bit disappointing to see them ditch the “simming” community quite so readily, at least they are upfront about it. I guess MSFS is going to mark a “changing of the guard” to some degree, with Captainsim, Aerosoft et al now catering to the Xbox, and SWS, FlyingIron etc moving in to fill the void. I’m sure Aerosoft will patch the aircraft up to a “quality” state, but it sounds like they won’t ever be looking to get it to a “simulation” state. Again great, balanced post. Cheers!

@@IntotheBlueSimulations true and Milviz - it looks like they have a great line up this year. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g9qTa8Zhzd6-cqs.html

I believe the Twotter should be making a reappearance at some point, Jay. There are some other great twins out there though: If you’re after a turboprop, there’s the Black Square Analog King Air and if you’re after a twin more generally, there’s the Carenado Beech 18 (with the Denarq mod), the FSW C414 and the BlackBox Islander (although graphically, the Islander does look rather dated), all of which are decent mid-sized twins : ) All the best!

Haha, it does indeed seem to have divided opinions Bobby (including my own haha). I’d say it’s fairly straightforward though; if you want something to have fun in, its generally a great little aircraft. If you want a complex simulation of an aircraft, there are better options elsewhere. My pleasure on the video! Thanks for watching and all the best : )

The real world Twin Otters I flew had the fuel tanks in the wings....what makes you think the fuel is in the belly??

My mistake! Fuel in the belly as you said!

Certainly a valid point Bernard. For me personally, I don’t mind (for this level of addon) when something can be operated incorrectly, so much as when it cannot be operated correctly, if that makes sense. Ie the fuel pump issue doesn’t really bother me, as I will just operate them in accordance with the checklist, but the feathering issue does bother me, because I can’t feather the props period. We’re all different of course. From what I’ve heard / read though, it doesn’t (disappointingly) sound as though Aerosoft is too bothered about catering to simmers on this one and quite possibly on their future releases. . . All the best!

@@IntotheBlueSimulations i'm also pretty sad about the lack of feathering support. my immediate response would have been, "well, the DC-6 has feather support, so what's the problem?" on further research, however, it appears that PMDG ran into a nightmarish situation on the console where the xbox version of the DC-6 was utterly broken, literally couldn't be started, guages didn't work etc, and they had to pull it from the marketplace and offer refunds. the xbox-only bugs were due entirely to undisclosd "limitations" in the console version of the simulator. (disclosure: i honestly thought the codebase would be pretty much identical across platforms, since the xbox is really just a locked-down pc, but apparently not). so, to cut Aerosoft some slack, it seems that console support is more problematic that one might have thought--which is of course entirely MS/Asobo's fault, and not the addon devs'.

Sorry but this was a YT Jockey all over the place!

What was all over the place Willem; my flying, the video, or both haha?

Well thanks very much Maxime. Very kind of you to say! The Twin Otter really seems to have split community opinion, but I hope the video gave you some sense of what the product is (and isn’t) at any rate. The aircraft definitely has its flaws, but I have been enjoying it nonetheless. All the best : )

Haha, thanks very much Chris! ; ) My pleasure on the review, hope it was of use. I think the engine sounds still need some work regarding the transitions, but otherwise I think they’re alright. You and I seem to be in the very small minority though ha. Apparently Aerosoft are now doing a full re-recording of the sounds, so hopefully they’ll be better yet - great to see them taking community feedback on board at any rate. Cheers : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations Yes I've hard about the issues with the sound afterwards too.

Thanks very much Theodore, my pleasure! I'm glad you enjoyed our outing in the Solomon Islands - it must be a lovely place to live : ) Cheers and all the best!

Sure is a great here in the islands, I really enjoy your review of the aircraft and enjoy working on it. Keep it coming

Haha, well it wasn't an intentional sales pitch Ian, but I'm glad you found the video "motivating" enough to want to pick the product up. The Twin Otter is by no means a perfect addon, but I think it's very enjoyable nonetheless! I do hope you're enjoying the aircraft as well. Happy flying! : )

Sounds delightful sir! A small island with a single hut sounds like a dream right now actually haha. I was thinking it was a long way for you to go, but I guess it wasn't that far from home before ; ) All the best! : )

Thanks very much Chris! My pleasure as always, glad you enjoyed it. A bit of a shame I couldn’t have given the Twin Otter more glowing praise, that being said, still enjoying the aircraft for what it is. Once again, thank you very much for watching! All the best : )

Thanks very much Andy! Glad you enjoyed it : ) Always wanted to have a go at flying the Twin Otter, never have though - I guess the virtual version will have to “make do” for now haha. Cheers!

Hi Stwutter, Thanks once again! Absolutely fair enough - chances are, I’m not always going to come to a conclusion that everyone finds agreeable. I must have a pretty poor ear though, as I often seem to be ok with sounds that the rest of you dislike XD To be clear, I’m not onboard with the abrupt change in engine sounds, they’re a bit rubbish and need to be fixed up (I had initially thought that was only going to be an early-access issue). The actual engines sounds though, I thought (whilst overly loud) were okay (but again I seem to be in the minority haha). I gather an update for the product is being worked on, but as ever with these sorts of things; if it’s already getting a significant update, then it wasn’t ready for release! Sorry you aren’t happy with your purchase at the moment. I certainly hope Aerosoft get the aircraft to a point where you are! Cheers again. All the best! : )

Indeed, I will not buy this aircraft now. I have been reading many things and find that there must certainly be a good solid aircraft at the heart of things... but no feathering and stalling that does not work and terrible sounds poorly timed... well that is too much for me. I will wait and see what they do. Time for a Kodiak, I think.

A very fair take Jonathan and honestly, one (the developer) reaps what they sow - the Kodiak is a fine product and SWS deserve all of the support and adoration they get for it. I think / hope you will enjoy it. All the best : )

Hi Howard, Apologies if you were inundated with ads. KZfaq is indeed over the top and inconsistent with its ad placement (some countries will see all of the ads and others may see few). For what it’s worth, I actually delete around 50% of the ads KZfaq automatically places - I aim to have one ad show every 15 mins. Cheers and all the best! : )

Thanks John! I must have a very poor ear haha; I often seem to like sounds that nobody else does. . . I think the engines sounds themselves are okay (could be better for sure though), the abrupt sound changes definitely need fixing though and I was very surprised to see them on the release version (I had assumed it was just an early-access issue). I agree that the Twin Otter has not lived up to the hype. I do think though that some of the hype was community-induced. Aerosoft were pretty open about the fact that the aircraft would be “dumbed-down” for the Xbox in fairness. I guess none of us quite appreciated what that meant though. Do I enjoy the aircraft? Yes. Is it up the standards I was expecting / hoping for? Sadly not. . . Cheers and all the best! : )

Thanks for the info Geoffrey; I think Aerosoft may well have updated the addon, after this video was recorded (a few features were added / tweaked after initial release). Cheers, all the best : )

Ah nice Ben - I’d imagine it’s a pretty lovely spot in which to live! Glad you enjoyed the video and a little bit of Solomon Islands / Airways representation haha. All the best! : )

Well thanks very much Ken, very kind of you to say! I certainly try my utmost to create quality content, so it’s always very much appreciated when someone says they are enjoying it : ) Cheers and all the best!

You’re most welcome Coenraad! Hmm (sadly) that’s a tougher call than most were perhaps expecting (since the Twin Otter was expected to far surpass the Islander originally). Graphically there’s no contest, the Twotter is far superior, it also has a slight edge on the systems front. I would say right now I’m enjoying the Twin Otter more, but just to throw a spanner in the works, the Islander is due to get a “study level” systems upgrade (according to the dev). I agree that either one would be a nice addition to the virtual hangar. Neither aircraft is ground-breaking, but island hopping in the sim is fun and they both tick that box. I would say perhaps wait and see what Black Box have in mind for the Islander upgrade (although I’ve no idea how long that is due to take) and then reassess. . . I’m sure that has been of no use in helping you make up your mind! XD All the best : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thanks for the reply as always. I had forgotten about that update. Should come with or after the Trislander iirc. Trying to decide for my Neofly trip around Australia, so not too keen on waiting. But this is seriously busting my OCD head haha

Haha. Well if it were me, I’d go for the Twin Otter in that case then. It’s more up to modern standards graphically, a little bit more capable and has somewhat more systems depth in its current state etc. Despite all of the flack it gets (some of it deserved), I rather enjoy the Twotter myself overall. The Islander is fun too, but I think the FSX-style visuals might start to wear by the time you’ve made it all the way around Oz XD I was watching some cracking Islander vids the other day - made me wish we had *this* in the sim! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ptpipMWGs9WVkaM.html Did you manage to decide which one to go for yet then? : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thanks again. Aye seen that video, some crazy flying right there, zero room for error. You know, i ened up with the Islander, and imo, yes it is fun, but tbh i wish i had taken the Twotter haha. The visuals don't bother me that much, however what does bother me is the wonky flight model. The nose popping up at very low airspeeds and the near 2000ft/m climb rate at WoT. Even at climb setting climbs closer to 1300ft instead of 800-900ft/m. The climb rate at cruise setting (20") is actually closer to the proper climb rate. And the landing is also a bit weird, on how she changes pitch very agressvely with throttle adjustments. 1 stage flaps also does feel like it ads too litle drag. Once stablished on the aproach and stuff she does behave well, and she sounds great and the cruise itself, is actually rather pleasant. I asked on the MFS forums yesterday and the devs replied that the climb performance is something they will look at and rectify when the "study level" update will happen, so i don't feel that bad. But may end up with the Twotter to fly untill that update comes after all haha. Edit: Little edit. I just fly her now at 25" on takeoff and 20" for climb, and that is actualy quite alright. I just pretend 25-30 does not exist. Did a nice flight to Adelaide. Went really nice. Bit bumpy over the mountains. (btw that swinging cable in the ceiling is a really cool touch)

Ah well I wouldn’t feel too much buyers remorse. As I say, there isn’t too much difference between the two aircraft in terms of quality; they both have their ups and downs and the Twotter’s flight model is hardly a bastion of accuracy either haha. Sounds like quite a cool little adventure overall though! I did cover most of Oz as part of a world tour a few years ago - gosh it’s big and empty haha! But it’s also beautiful and desert environments tend to be some of the best looking in the sim (even where the photo-imagery quality isn’t stellar, it’s hard to notice when the landscape is fairly uniform anyway). I’m sure there is a mod for the Islander’s flight model somewhere out there, unless your purchased from the Marketplace? Hopefully the dev does fix things up. He will have to really, if he wants to call the aircraft study level. . . Believe it or not, the engine power has already been reduced on at least one occasion (and I think maybe even two) XD Aaaanyway, happy flying! : )

Oh no no, I didn’t necessarily think that you were Charlie (though equally it wouldn’t be entirely unfair to have done so), but I thought you raised a very fair point. Generally in my previews, I try not to be too critical of a product, as who knows what might change between the video and release. Unfortunately that’s the issue though, I’m none the wiser than anyone else. I thought the Twin Otter was coming along very nicely, but I was also expecting to see all of the rough edges rounded off (figuratively and literally haha). I’m quite surprised we didn’t see that from Aerosoft (I’ve enjoyed many of their products in the past) and I think we know now why that is. . . So I got a little bit caught out myself. Unfortunately I don’t see an optimal workaround for these sorts of situations, but perhaps in the future I will make mention that “whilst it’s pre-release and we can expect improvements before release, equally there may not be any). Thanks as always! : )

Thanks Volker! Glad you enjoyed it. Personally I’m enjoying the Twin Otter for what it is, but for sure it could use a few fixes (at the very least). Waiting for an update (which I hear they are working on) isn’t the worst idea in the world. Hopefully we don’t have to wait long! All the best : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations Mathijs mentioned on the Aerosoft forums that they have fixed many of the initial problems (especially auto pilot and harsh sound transitions) and a patch should be released on Monday or earlier.

Ah ok. Thanks very much for the info Volker. Looking forward to that then! : )

Hi Philip, The ATC is real-world recordings (from LiveATC.net), which I’ve then edited into the video. There is actually an ATC chatter app available for MSFS though, if that’s the sort of thing you’re after : ) I hope that helps. All the best!

Thanks David! Hehe, definitely sounds like you’re better off sticking with P3D for now then. Ironically, I had always wanted to try the Twin Otter extended, but never had the funds at the time. I figured I would finally get to experience it in MSFS, but it would seem not. . . I hear very good things about the Majestic Dash 8 for sure. I don’t know if you’re an X-Plane man at all, but the Hotstart Challenger 650 seems to be getting some rave reviews (touted as “the most study level aircraft ever” etc)! Might be worth taking a look. . . Cheers : )

Thanks Dennis. My pleasure as always! The radio sounds are actually recordings from LiveATC.net, that I then edit into the video. I believe there is an MSFS radio chatter app available though, if that's the sort of thing you're after. I hope that helps a little. All the best : )

Very nicely put Liam! I agree with all of that. I am enjoying the Twin Otter for what it is, having a lot of fun with it so far. All of your points are valid as I say. I think the main reasons Aerosoft have taken a bit of a beating on this one; 1) Some of their “concessions” sound rather questionable. 2) I think people feel a bit neglected, that they’ve been supporting the company all of these years, only for Aerosoft to turn around and follow the $$ (which of course they’re inclined to do, but it perhaps could have been done a little more “sympathetically”). It seems to me that going forward, the obvious thing to do (as you have also suggested) would be to have an “Xbox version” and an “Extended version” - keep both sides happy. Cheers and all the best! : )

I fear they are “moving with the times” WhiteHawk, but unfortunately their move (in this particular case) seems to be with an eye towards the Xbox. . . On a personal level the modelling, texturing etc didn’t really bother me. But the abrupt engine sound changes are bizarre (I really thought that was just an “early-access” issue) and not being able to feather a prop just seems crazy - Carenado have been pulling that one off for over a year now (I still maintain they aren’t nearly so bad these days haha!). I gather people have been trying to reach out to Aerosoft regarding some of the issues, but not been warmly received. I can never understand why devs take feedback personally; having your audience care about the product you’ve created is a good thing - embrace it! You make a good point: If Aerosoft want to cater to the Xbox crowd (and that is genuinely the reason the product has been hamstrung), then they would do well to release Extended versions of their products at a later date, for PC simmers. I’m not sure I buy the story about the Xbox “not being capable” etc though. . . All the best!

Yesterday I read a post from someone at Aerosoft about why they won't be making extended versions anymore. According to AS 99% of the MSFS market don't care and won't pay extra for it. At least we now know exactly how they feel. Those of us who want deep systems and aerodynamic accuracy need to stick with P3D and X-Plane for now. Let's see how PMDG and Milviz do with their upcoming releases.

@@stevesanacore7459 so they have now said they won’t be doing an extended version? Last I heard they may do one for the otter in the future. If that’s their attitude they are not getting my money and there’s others I’m sure that will avoid them too.

IAS is not modeled so won't work, and yes, anti-ice is bugged and only hits the left engine currently.

Likewise Vograx! As I mentioned during the review; whilst it certainly has its issues, I’m still enjoying it a lot personally. Aerosoft could have made more of it though I feel. . . I expect the anti-ice bug will get fixed up. Strange that they didn’t bother to model the IAS hold, since even the default Asobo autopilot (on the Garmin) has such a feature modelled. Ah well, I gather an update is in the works. Fingers crossed that irons out some of the creases. Happy flying! : )

Thanks very much Kevin! : )

Hi Roberto, Glad you’re enjoying it! Agreed, there are some annoyances, but it’s not a deal-breaker for me either. I would strongly suspect FSX repaints won’t work with the MSFS version, but there are now a number of repaints available from flightsim.to (and I’m sure more will follow). Cheers! All the best : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations thanks for the reply, just finished flipping the fax textures and renaming then and they did work. Now I need to know how to make them appear independent in the sun

Ahh, I see what you mean Roberto. Sorry, I thought you were wondering if they worked by default. I’m sure with a bit of work they can be adjusted for MSFS yes. Best of luck with it! : )

Thanks Paul. Yes, for sure the sounds are rather on the loud side at the moment. I had meant to mention that, but then somewhat forgot it was an issue, as I had turned them down for recording. I found I had to reduce my volume levels by about 50% to get things comfortable. I thought the external sounds were ok, but I seem to be in the minority on that one haha. Cheers! : )

Someone posted on Aerosoft's forums a fix that works for me: go to "Audio" and the first option iirc change to "Headphones". For me, now ATC was audible, cockpit engine noise tolerable and it was louder externally than internally, as it should be. Give it a try.

Thanks for the pointer Wadleighs! For sure that would remedy the situation for the time being, but it’s nice to have the aircraft audio somewhat normalised between addons, otherwise one has to change their settings when switching from addon to addon. Much appreciated though! All the best : )

Thank you sir! : )

Yes Jay; unfortunately, Aerosoft pulled the addon from sale. Apparently the Twotter will be making a return at a later date but, Aerosoft haven’t specified what their reasoning was, or in what capacity the aircraft will be returning (I’m guessing it might be making an appearance in MSFS 2024). Many people weren’t very happy with the Twin Otter but personally, I enjoyed the addon for what it was. Enjoy the Tecnam! All the best : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations ….got the Tecnam, but not really a fan of it. It is extremely low on power, so I always feel like Im fighting to keep speed up. Its climb rate is terrible. At least thats been my experience so far. Just isnt an enjoyable plane to me

Ahh, very sorry to hear that, Jay : /

Nice one Benjamin - congratulations! How did you find it? : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations it was great, pretty windy though

Haha! Well I’m certainly glad you found the review useful TB500 and I’m even happier to hear that you like the content to such a degree! Very kind of you to say and much appreciated. Welcome to the channel : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations Hi. I'm looking for a General Aviation study level airplane which has plenty of systems to learn and is capable to fly on some fields as well as some bigger airports. Also it would be nice if the aircraft has a higher cruise speed and is capable of flying at higher altitudes. I spent yesterday watching your videos about the Twin Otter, Kodiak 100, Cessna 414, Cessna 310, Boeing 247, Ju52 and the Pilatus PC-6 (which I own as a model plane :D) I think the Cessna 414 suits me best bcs it's highly detailed and the pressurized cabin as well as the piston engines make it interesting to operate. Secondly the retractable gear and the TDS GTN 750 capability make it a really useful aircraft with good instrumentation and a high cruise speed. I also like the checklist and walk-around features very much. The closest competitor was the Cessna 310 which is is basically fully modelled with even the circuit breakers operating. The thing holding me back here is that the aircraft has too few systems to operate watching your review it felt like a big Cessna 172. Also it's slower and doesn't quite reach the same altitudes as the C414. I do like the fault system as well as the "rental" cold and owned states. The Kodiak 100 and the PC-6 have to few systems and dials to be interesting. The Twin Otter and the Ju52 are just barely enough modelled to fly. And they also have this convenient unrealisticness. Like, the Ju52 instantly fires up and lifts off to easily and the Twin Otter has only the switches modelled it needs to fly so all the "alternate" positions are useless. Third is the Boeing 247 has a nice engine Modell, however it's navigation equipment is so outdated it's barely usable and the sounds are really monotone and not immersive. I have the DC-6 and that is more immersive, has a better engine Modell and is more usable as it has modern navigation equipment and it has more dials. Also I'm not a big fan of those "Handpumps" in a simulator where I can't really touch the things. So those were my initial impressions. But I'd be really grateful to hear your opinion. Judging on my thoughts what aircraft would you recommend?

I think going off your specifications, I’d come to the same conclusions as you did there. The MILVIZ C310 is the best of the GA bunch overall but in terms of systems, it is basically just a C172 with two engines haha. The C414 is an excellent product. Just bear in mind that it’s still in early access at the moment, so the finished product is still an unknown quantity (though it’s unlikely it’ll get worse and FSW have updated the textures and the sounds significantly since my review). Just a couple more suggestions / food for thought (although again, I think the 414 is probably your best bet); the HondaJet, C22J and the FlyingIron P38. Probably not exactly what you’re looking for, but they tick a lot of your boxes and are all excellent in their own right (though the HondaJet’s flight model is a little bit questionable at this time). I hope that helps a little and I’m really happy to hear you’re finding the content useful! Cheers and all the best : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations well the C414 has fixed all the bugs you found in your video. So I bought it ;) Really looking forward to trying out the TDS GTN750 after I saw you use it in your videos. As a general feedback I do really like the structure of your videos. One flight to get a feel how the experience will be and then a fair and balanced conclusion. What also helped me is that you always drew comparisons to other aircraft/development studios. That helped me to get an overview of what the general standard is after getting back into simming after 1 1/2 years. Also this way I found all the other aircraft which are worth considering. Anyway you helped me so let's see if I can get you a coffee.

Hi KAL, Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it! Unfortunately it’s not a setting in the sim, but a piece of hardware that I am using to achieve the effect. I am using a device called “TrackIR”, which monitors a persons head movements and then inputs them into the sim. TrackIR is quite pricey, but there are cheaper alternatives out there, that achieve a similar result : ) I hope that helps a little. All the best!

Cheers Urgent. Indeed, it sounds like that’s the way it’s going to have to be now: Aerosoft have seemingly decided that this addon is aimed more towards the Xbox (and they’re well within their rights to do that of course), which isn’t going to leave too many of the PC crowd happy. If they want to keep us “simmers” on board (maybe they do, maybe they don’t), then I think releasing basic versions for the Xbox and “Extended” versions for the PC is going to be the way to go. The Porter is a still a fine steed and when you you’re feeling lazy one day and want a nosewheel, you could do a lot worse than the Kodiak! ; ) I hope Aerosoft will take all of our feedback onboard. So far (from what I’ve heard) they haven’t been too receptive too it, but in fairness I think they have previously “huffed and puffed” and ultimately tend o get things fixed up anyway. . . All the best : )

“Where we’re going, we don’t need brakes!” ; ) I’m very happy you enjoyed the video, despite my maverick approach to ground operations haha. My pleasure and thanks very much for watching! All the best : )

Huh, didn’t spot that one Joe. To be fair, I just threw on some of the overhead lighting, as I thought it was a bit dim in the cockpit at the time. It may have been that I didn’t go for the optimal lighting configuration (or it may be that the cockpit lighting needs some improvement). Or are we talking about the night lighting demonstration? Cheers! : )

Hi Adam, Well the Twin Otter seems to have split opinion haha and it definitely has some issues that need fixing, but personally I’m very much enjoying it for what it is. If you do pick it up, I hope you enjoy it as well! All the best : )

Indeed. Thanks Andrew. This was unbeknownst to me at the time, but I found this out thereafter. Pretty bizarre, but at least Aerosoft are aware of it and will presumably have it fixed up in due course. Cheers! : )

Hi Billy, My pleasure on the review - glad you enjoyed it! The ATC was actually just recordings that I have taken from LiveATC.net and then edited into the video. I believe there is an ATC chatter app available for MSFS though, if that's the kind of thing you're after. Thanks and all the best! : )

In many respects it is very similar (unfortunately) Finlay. In fact, as compared with the "extended" FSX version, this MSFS version offers less fidelity. For the most part I wouldn't say there are any major upgrades from the FSX version, but of course the sim has come a way, so flying the Twotter in MSFS is probably more fun in many respects. All the best! : )

Hi Richard, The Twotter has actually been pulled off the Market (for PC also). Aerosoft has new plans for it apparently (which, I would hazard a guess, have something to do with MSFS 2024 haha). So, you may have to wait a while but, I expect you will see the aircraft on the console at some point ; ) Cheers, all the best!

@@IntotheBlueSimulations yay! I hope so. I’m gathering stuff to build pc / sim now. What graphic card do you use? So far I’ve bought controls and a radio / AP stack / monitor / so I’m pretty much left with just the system now. I’m Building kind of backwards haha

Hi Richard, I’m running an RTX4090, at the moment. It’s probably somewhat overkill for MSFS, especially at 1080p but, obviously it gives me a lot of overhead on fps etc. I have run an GTX1070, RTX2080 and RTX4090 over the lifetime of the channel; I leave my system specs in the description of each of my videos so, it might be worth watching some older content also and getting a feel for what each spec of system can achieve graphically. I hope that helps a little. Cheers : )

Hi Egg, Yes, it is indeed TrackIR : ) All the best!

A little bit of both, Patrick. In theory, I believe it’s a “whole new aircraft”, but I think the MSFS version shares a lot of the DNA with the FSX version (though sadly, not the Extended version). It’s a bit of a moot point at the moment though, as Aerosoft actually pulled the product from sale haha - apparently they have secret plans for it, before they bring the aircraft back to MSFS. . . Cheers and all the best : )

Hi Photon, I’m pretty sure this one will make it to the Xbox no worries. Aerosoft seem very keen to have the Twin Otter out on the Xbox, in fact they’ve even tailored the addon specifically (apparently). I’m actually somewhat surprised they went for a PC-first release, given the circumstances. Anyway you should be diving into Lulkla sooner rather than later, I would hope : ) Cheers, all the best!

I have the FreedomFox and absolutely love it. It’s a simple aircraft in and of itself. No advanced avionics or systems to worry about. It’s fantastic for exploring areas at low altitudes as it has excellent visibility and can pretty much land and take off from anywhere be it runway or a creek. That said it would be great to see ITBS give it a go even though he tends to focus on more advanced aircraft :)

Hi Vikram, Thank you very much for your kind words, really glad to hear you’re enjoying the channel! I try my best to be accurate and fair. I wouldn’t profess to get it right all the time, but I certainly wouldn’t say something I didn’t believe to be true, good or bad. Actually, I have recently been in touch with Parallel 42 and will indeed be showcasing the Freedom Fox on the channel at some point. It probably won’t be a typical review vid, but I do have a little something planned ; ) Thanks again for your message and indeed for your suggestion! All the best : )

I hear good things Vograx and indeed the Freedom Fox will be making an appearance on the channel in the not too distant future! ; ) Cheers!

Yeah, MSFS (despite still having its issues) is coming along very nicely isn’t it Curabot! All the best : )

Yeah, the Twotter is a classic! It’s not going to beat Concorde across the Atlantic, but it can do almost everything else : P Cheers! : )

Hi John, Happy to hear you’re enjoying the Twin Otter overall! I agree that it’s less than ideal when an aircraft doesn’t fully start up using CTRL-E, it rather defeats the point of the function if it doesn’t. Regarding the windshield wipers, that’s actually the norm rather than the exception. Currently the only aircraft in the sim (that I am aware of) with “working” windshield wipers, is the Fenix Airbus A320; by default, the sim doesn’t support visual removal of precipitation on the windscreen. Cheers and all the best! : )

Hello Jon, Apologies but, it’s been so long since I last flew the Twotter, that I don’t recall. Does the manual not detail anything? Sorry I can’t be of more help on that one. All the best!

The engine sounds need fixing up for sure Tazer and I believe Aerosoft are working on a patch as we speak (of course this should have been seen to before release though). You’re correct re the autopilot as well - it seems to have an issue with control authority at low speed (doesn’t seem to be able to maintain altitude below about 110kts). ALT hold I found to be ok at cruise speed myself though. . . Personally I’m rather enjoying the aircraft, though it isn’t up to the standards I was expecting from Aerosoft. I can see why many are a bit disappointed with it. All the best!

Hi Dan, Sorry for the slow reply. I’m not sure that it is / was (unless I’ve misremembered something in the video)? If memory serves me correctly, I too only only had run / cutoff. Technically I think these are condition levers, as opposed to mixture levers (like you’d see on a piston), so it’s most likely they wouldn’t be operated linearly. That being said, most condition levers I’ve come across have a cutoff, low-idle and high-idle position; so I’m not sure whether the Twin Otter is genuinely different in that regard, or whether Aerosoft chose not to model things correctly for simplicity’s sake. Long story short, my condition levers only move between “on” and “off” also. I hope that helps a bit? All the best! : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations thank you ,yeah did further research and they are on/off

Ah ok, no worries - you’re most welcome! : ) Cheers!

Hi Rithvik, I believe it’s true to life of the real aircraft (at least some examples of it). I don’t know whether the Twotter comes with it as standard, but I found some examples of the aircraft online, that do indeed have GPWS capability. Hope that clarifies things. All the best! : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations thanks! But I didn’t like it anyway so I went into the sound.xml file and deleted the gpws.. ez fix for me lol. Thanks!

You’re most welcome! Haha, fair enough - I do hope you informed the relevant authorities. . . : P All the best : )

Hi Moyse, Thanks very much once again! I believe the Twin Otter (and certainly P3D / FSX in general) did still come with with a GPS unit. Whether it was the GNS530, I’m not sure I’m afraid. I agree, the old autopilot was quirky and something a bit different. It’s always good fun trying to wrap your head around something slightly different. Ah well. . . Cheers! Hope you have a great weekend as well : )

Hi Sven, Yes, I’m having great fun with the Twin Otter and enjoying it for what it is. I can certainly see why it’s not to everyone’s tastes though. It could definitely use a patch (I gather Aerosoft are working on one), the engine sounds do indeed need refining. The ATC chatter is courtesy of LiveATC.net - I then edit it into the video. I believe there is also an ATC chatter app available for MSFS though, if that’s the sort of thing you’re after. Hope that helps. Cheers! : )

Thanks very much James! I’m glad the review was useful in helping you make your decision. The Kodiak is excellent, a very refined product and frankly what I think many of us were hoping the Twin Otter would be. Happy flying! : )

Hi Federico, The Aerosoft Twin Otter, is the only version of the aircraft available for MSFS, but the addon can be purchased from a number of retailers including; the in-sim Marketplace, Simmarket and Orbx (as well as from Aerosoft directly of course). I hope that helps? All the best : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations Yes it did. I just got myself a copy through the MSFS Market Place. Do you fly one (Twin Otter) irl?

@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thank you so much for your reply and this clip btw. 😀

You’re most welcome - my pleasure!

Great, happy to hear it! No, I don’t fly the Twin Otter in the real world - I’m on the Airbus myself (I’d love to have a go at flying the Twotter though, it looks like brilliant fun and I always hear good things). Happy flying and all the best! : )

Thanks very much Squirel! Haha, an excellent suggestion and I feel like a numpty for not having considered it XD I suppose I was going with the more logical procedural flow, but of course demonstrating the first start externally makes much more logical sense. I’ll try and remember to do that. I do hope you’re enjoying the Twotter. Obviously it has its issues currently, but it’s still a tonne of fun and I’d imagine its suiting you well (from what you said about enjoying a more casual simming experience). Apparently a patch is inbound to fix up the sounds. Thanks and happy flying! : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations Cheers !!

Fair enough Dez! I had thought the sounds were just going to be like for the early-access version; I was rather surprised to still see the abrupt changes on the release version of the product. Agreed, the engine sounds still definitely need some work. . . Cheers!

There is indeed an issue David, unbeknownst to me at the time haha. Currently, tracking outbound from a radial is a bit of a no-no in the aircraft (no idea why) - apparently it’s due to be patched soon. Haha, well let’s call a spade a spade; the Asobo autopilot, may well be the only autopilot on the planet, that will actually do a worse job of flying the aircraft than me! : P You’re correct re the props being feather also. I did have them in the feathered position for the start, but it’s not currently modelled. In fact, it’s not even possible to feather the props in flight (a bit of a shocker)! Best to stick with P3D as far as the Twotter goes, at least for the time being. . . Cheers! : )

My pleasure Charlie! I’m not sure regarding prop-sync. I didn’t see any mention of it in the checklist / manual, so perhaps the Twin Otter simply doesn’t have such a system? The sounds changes are unfortunate, but I gather they will be patched up soon. Feathering etc we may never see by the sounds of it (sadly). Likewise though, I am still enjoying the aircraft for what it is and at least it was more or less priced accordingly. Cheers!

Well, if you already own the aircraft Mike, I don’t see any harm in a re-install? : ) I haven’t flown the Twotter since 2022’s XMAS vid haha but, I’ve always enjoyed the addon. . .

It does not, Holdit. The MSFS version *was* rather simplistic, as compared with the Extended version. I say “was”, as Aerosoft have actually pulled the Twin Otter from sale haha. Apparently the addon will be back at some point and people aren’t currently sure whether that means it’s being upgraded, planned for release as a “Local Legend” etc. Either way, the aircraft can’t be purchased currently, so we’ll just have to wait and see. . . I hope that helps. Cheers and all the best! : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations Many thanks.

You’re most welcome! : )

Hi Ace, Forgive me if I'm repeating myself (I think we may have had this discussion elsewhere), but I am on the Airbus : ) All the best!

@@IntotheBlueSimulations ok cool that is awesome

Hi 494, Cheers, my pleasure! The ATC sounds are recordings from LiveATC.net, that I’ve then edited into the video. I believe there is an MSFS ATC chatter app available though, if that’s the sort of thing you’re after (I believe it’s just called FS chatter, or something similar). I hope that helps. All the best! : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations yes it does help. Thank you!

Great! You’re most welcome : )

Hello Jefferson, Yes, unfortunately Aerosoft have discontinued the Twin Otter for the time being and the addon isn’t available for purchase anywhere at the moment (so far as I am aware). It was stated that the Twotter will be making a reappearance at some point though, so you should still be able to fly the aircraft at some point in the future : ) I hope that clarifies things a little. All the best!

@IntotheBlueSimulations I actually reached out to aerosoft about this and they replied. "Thanks for contacting Aerosoft. Unfortunately, this product is no longer available for purchase on any platform, as this product is no longer with the Aerosoft development team. With friendly greetings," In anycase I now found Said aircraft as a torrent and downloaded it for evaluation of course. Should Aerosoft sort themselves out I will of course pay for a licence !!!

Ahh, ok Jeff, thanks for the info. I didn’t realise that Aerosoft had relinquished the product completely. A lot of us (myself included) think that the Twotter is destined to be included with MSFS 2024, which makes sense, if Aerosoft have completely handed over the addon to “someone” else. All the best!

I’m afraid you can’t at the moment, Vilimone. Aerosoft actually pulled the Twin Otter from sale; apparently the aircraft will be back at a later date, but we’ve been given no information regarding exactly what is going on (my guess, the aircraft will be coming back in MSFS 2024). I hope that clarifies things. Cheers and all the best! : )

I believe you’re correct Richard (that a fix should be issues soon) - the sound issues have been acknowledge and a patch should be issued in the coming days to address them (and a few other deficiencies in the product). At least, that’s what I’ve been told secondhand. . . Fingers crossed the patch irons out at least some of the creases! Cheers : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations yep - I'm quite confident it will be fixed soon. There's obviously been a huge amount of effort put into this, and I can imagine the developers are passionate enough that they'd do it in their own time if necessary!

Hi BeepIL, I agree, the takeoff and landing feels rather strange at the moment. Rather vague, not much interaction with the ground and pretty light as you say. Oddly, I don’t remember that being the case when I previewed the aircraft; I’m not sure whether Aerosoft changed something. The aircraft controls quite well at least, despite not feeling right. Haha, I think the engine sounds might even be louder than the real thing : P The engine sounds are indeed overly loud. I did mean to make mention of this during the review, but forgot unfortunately. I believe a patch is coming soon to address the engine sounds (amongst other things), hopefully it will fix the volume levels, as well as the transitions. Didn’t get a chance to try the wipers actually, hopefully they address the volume of those sounds as well then - in the mean time I’ll just avoid the rain ha. All the best! : )

Hi James, The two switches are a little bit hidden away; they are down behind the right hand side of the control column. If you remove the control column (by clicking on the base of it), you will find the switches on the console just behind (nearer to the floor, than to the top of the panel). Hope that helps. All the best! : )

Ha! Some of your posts do give me a chuckle Joe XD It’s good to keep a little bit of levity / perspective with these sorts of things for sure ; ) Cheers!

@@IntotheBlueSimulations Doing my best!

Haha, the comment section does have a habit of doing that! XD To be fair, that’s where you’ll find all the really decent info - better than listening to me waffling on : P The Twotter is fun, but currently it isn’t up to the standards most of us were hoping for unfortunately. An update is already scheduled within the next couple of days (apparently), let’s see. . . All the best! : )

Hello again La Mar, No this one I wouldn't class as study level. Most of the switches and buttons work, so it could be used to get familiar with the DHC-6, but there isn't a lot of depth to the aircraft systems and quite a bit of functionality has been left out (for example the props cannot be feathered). A fun addition to the sim, but not a study level one. . . All the best! : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations thx for the info

Hi Tactical, I believe Aerosoft are working on a patch, that should be out within the next few days. I gather sounds (at least the abrupt changes) will be one of the items addressed. Let’s see. . . Cheers! : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations It's a fantastic aircraft to fly but it def feels unfinished. I am sure a patch or two can fix most of its issues though. And I am sure aerosoft will get there. To be honest when the CRJ 550/700 first released they were hot garbage but after a few updates they have become very good aircraft (esp with the FTSims soundpack) I am sure the Twotter will be the same.

I think you’re right Tactical. As you say, it was somewhat the same situation with the CRJ and it wouldn’t be the first Aerosoft addon that’s released like this. I think it is a little more unfinished than we’re used to from them, but I do think they will have it fixed up in due course. In the mean time, I’ll just have to hope an engine doesn’t fail! ; ) Cheers!

Haha, for sure at some point Daniel. I was actually planning on having a Mach Loop video up yesterday, but ended up putting out a Twin Otter update video instead (as Aerosoft just patched the aircraft). Cheers! : )

Hi Stefan, Do you mean; what is with the long list of bugs I gave, or with the long list of bugs that the aircraft has? For sure the sounds are much louder in reality, but I have to adjust the sound volume in every video I record, otherwise most aircraft would drown out the commentary. The Twin Otter does have an issue with the engine sounds being overly loud and I did mean to make mention of it, but simply forgot to do so I’m afraid. . . Cheers!

I’m sorry to hear that Ford. I can *somewhat* see both sides or the argument; perhaps Aerosoft had not anticipated people being able to look there, but of course as the user, you don’t want to be seeing a gaping hole etc! We all want quality customer service for our money, as well as quality products and sometimes flight sim devs seem oblivious to this. A large gap in the structure is not really acceptable, so I do hope Aerosoft will reconsider their stance, as they have done with other aspects of the aircraft. Despite its shortfalls, I very much enjoy the Twin Otter, as it seems you were. Sorry to hear it has since been somewhat tainted for you. Cheers and all the best!

No comparison unfortunately

At the moment, not too well unfortunately Piotr. Personally I am still very much enjoying the Twin Otter (it is good fun), however in technical terms there is a significant division between the two addons. The Kodiak, is incredibly refined; excellent modelling, texturing, sounds, flight modelling, good systems as well (+ some nice custom features). Everything is very nicely “polished”, making it one of the best addons currently available in the sim. The Twin Otter on the other hand, is decent enough in most areas, but there are certain aspects of the product that feel unfinished, namely the engine sounds. Aerosoft have quite openly stated that the Twin Otter has had its fidelity reduced, to “make it Xbox compatible”. I hope that helps. All the best! : )

Yes, I think we were all hoping the that the Twin Otter would be a little bit closer to the Kodiak Oisin. . . Hopefully Aerosoft will have a change of heart and correct some of the “Xbox concessions”. At the very least, the engine sounds need fixing. Cheers!

Kodiak is way better

I picked up the Kodiak while waiting for this plane, and now I kind of think I should have simply stuck to the Kodiak. I was expecting a lot more from Aerosoft, will have to hold off with any of their future planes to make sure they are really up to snuff. The Kodiak feels like a polished, finished product. This is more like an early beta that may or may not improve if the claims about the XBOX concessions are true.

Not really very substantive is it Charlie. . . That sounds like a polite dismissal if ever I’ve heard one ha. Still, thank you very much for airing your concerns - I’m sure you speak for many of us. Maybe if they get enough feedback, Aerosoft will have a change of heart (though it sounds like they’ve made up their minds. . .). Cheers!

Haha, well please don’t do that ST! Stay with us! : P Cheers. Hope you enjoyed it : )

Hi Carl, For what it’s worth, that was a lack of articulation on my part, as opposed to anything nefarious haha. What I really meant was “the cockpit sounds are excellent” - and indeed I think they are. Nice control sounds, switch sounds, systems sounds etc. I agree that the engine sounds need some work; they’re too loud (which I did neglect to mention) and a complete lack of blending, which I did make mention of a couple of times throughout the review in fairness. As far as affiliations go,; Aerosoft were kind enough to let me take a look at the product (again I was transparent about this), but otherwise it was my full and honest opinions as ever (I specifically warn any devs ahead of time, that this is what they will get from a review on the channel). I know the Twin Otter is far from perfect (and again I did point out quite a few flaws during the review - some of which I’m sure Aerosoft would rather I hadn’t), but I am genuinely enjoying it and honesty works both ways; I’m not going to pretend I dislike a product, just because I know many others don’t (not that I think you’re suggesting I should). Of course I will have opinions that others don’t agree with from time to time, but I can assure you my opinions on this channel are always my own. Either way, I’m super happy I helped you get into MSFS! I actually set the channel up to champion flight simulation, as opposed to being a review channel specifically - I’m really glad you’re enjoying the hobby : ) Cheers and all the best!

Wait. . . FlyingIron are doing a Hellcat?? Happy days! I’m a big Hellcat fan, been looking forward to one in the sim and as it’s FlyingIron, you pretty much know it’s going to be good already (I had hoped MILVIZ might do one, but this will be the next best thing). As I was saying to someone else in another thread; clearly the likes of Captainsim, Aerosoft et al have decided to take a change of course and whilst I think that’s a little disappointing (after all, who’s been supporting them for the last couple of decades), I’m not too concerned, as the new kids on the block (SWS, FlyingIron etc) seem to be doing it just as well, if not better. The Twin Otter is good fun, but it could have been so much more. A real shame that Aerosoft chose to hamstring it right off the bat. I was the same for the most part re warbirds / military stuff in civilian sims Megadyptes, but for whatever reason I’ve had a change of heart with MSFS too. I rather enjoy cruising around, waxing my moustache and shouting “tally ho” at everyone ; ) Right, well I’m off to go and take a look at FlyingIron’s latest news - tally ho!

@@IntotheBlueSimulations Yeah there's a blogpost about it on their website and a thread on the Microsobo forums as well. They also tease an Fw190 and Bf109 in that blog post after showing off some A-7 for DCS news. There's also another Grumman cat in the works with Got Friends' Wildcat which should also be pretty good as Got Gravel also does the flight models for the Flying Iron birds. Those virtual modded carriers are gonna be pretty busy soon hopefully!

Oh also Ant confirmed that the Tiger Moth is coming to MSFS over on the Sim Outhouse forums. Very excited for that!

Understandable Jason and I don’t think you’re the only one in this position. It will be interesting to see how many of the issues do get fixed up - it seems Aerosoft are sticking by their principle of making it “Xbox compatible”. If they want to take that approach, then they ought to put out “extended” versions of the same product, for PC users. Personally I am enjoying the Twin Otter, but some of its omissions are not really forgivable in the modern age I agree. All the best!

Big fuel tank in the fuselage. 🙂

Haha. Air-to-air refuelling in the Twotter : P

Haha, that would be quite a mammoth undertaking Mikael, even for a modern jet, let along the poor little Twin Otter! XD I’m afraid I will have to politely decline that suggestion : P

@@IntotheBlueSimulations yes because Saturday I fly from Frankfurt to saint Maarten and the flight was so long over 7 hours and the landing wasn’t Butter it was hard and then I make flight from st Maarten to Saint Barthélemy

Ahh, well a least you knew you’d landed! XD Sounds like an amazing trip! Lucky you. Enjoy! : )

It’s not out on Xbox yet unfortunately Rudi, but for sure it is planned to be released on the console. I’m afraid I don’t know how long the wait will be. . . All the best! : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thnx for the prompt reply Happy flying

Hi pgtrots, I must admit, I thought the sound issues would only be relevant to the preview version of the aircraft - I was quite surprised to see them still there at final release. Not what I was expecting from Aerosoft. . . Cheers!

Very true Killer. Sounds need patching, as do a number of other items. I believe Aeosoft are currently working on an update, but I was surprised to see the sounds release in the state that they did. . . Cheers!

That’s not an entirely unreasonable assessment Omar. Whilst I don’t feel quite as disillusioned as you do with MSFS, quality control in most things MSFS-related has been a bit all over the shop so far. The sim itself still needs a lot of work and quite a few of the addons we have seen are of questionable quality. Unfortunately, money seems to be dictating the course of the sim and there’s a lot of it coming from the more “casual” crowd apparently. . . All the best!

Haha, I'm sure we have the same version Jenny - "fun" is subjective of course though. The Twotter definitely flies funny, almost fly by wire-esque at times, but I knew well ahead of the product's release, that sadly this was not going to be a high fidelity offering; I enjoy it for what it is though and I have had some genuinely enjoyable flights in it. Sorry that you feel it was money down the drain though - that's never fun! Perhaps best to park the Twotter up and go and enjoy some 310 shenanigans instead! ; ) All the best : )

@@IntotheBlueSimulations well i disagree , i will be honest i consider it fraud, the flight dynamics are utterly wrong its is almost impossible to control speed and descent simultaneously, while ,i have flown it for a good few hours now one min can seem fine only to just change its behaviour on thr next flight so imho it i still think its the biggest pile of shit available if i could physically throw it in aerosofts face i would . while i may not be a pro pilot I don't have any issues like this from the arrow, Concorde, pmdg 737 the 146 or milviz porter only the otter

Very fairly put Charlie. Aerosoft are of course welcome to pursue whichever target market they please, but I think many of us feel that the situation is disappointing, given that it’s passionate flight simmers who have been keeping them in business all of these years. I don’t understand why the Twin Otter has to be hamstrung, to “fit onto the Xbox”. Create a PC-standard simulation and then dumb it down for the Xbox if necessary? I feel somewhat guilty as well: When I took a preview look at the aircraft, I was expecting that (as with most preview products) the outstanding issues would be fixed up. It seems little has changed since then and I’m sure many (including yourself) purchased, with the same expectations as myself - so, sorry about that! Personally I’m enjoying the aircraft, but I can see where people’s frustrations lie - and not being able to feather a prop etc is well below standard - Carenado have had that one figured out almost since the sim’s release! All the best

Huh, that’s a shame Cali. . . I presume one of the WT updates has made the Garmin incompatible with the aircraft. Perhaps it’s worth trying to uninstall the WT mods (if you have any installed) and maybe try the PMS GNS mod also (if that’s still kicking around). Are you sure you don’t have any hardware conflicts causing the issue? Otherwise, I think we’re out of luck, as Aerosoft is no longer selling the Twin Otter and therefore, presumably not supporting the addon either (though the Twotter will be making a comeback at a later date). Sorry I can’t be of more help on that one. All the best!

@@IntotheBlueSimulations it’s working now again ! Thank you. !

Ah ok, great! Glad you got things sorted : )
