Aerosoft Twin Otter For FSX By Andrew Herd (2 March 2008) The success of the de Havilland Beaver led to customers asking if they did the same thing in a larger size, so the designers went back to the drawing board and came up with the DHC-3 Otter. This single-engined plane was powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-1340 and 465 were built, with the US Army being a major purchaser.

The DHC-6 took the concept further, the result being a twin-engined, high wing monoplane powered by a pair of 550 hp P&W PT6A turboprops which went into production in 1965. DHC originally had their eye on the STOL civilian passenger market, but they sold a fair few for utility purposes, for example to the British Antarctic Expedition (largely because the plane is rated for operation in temperatures down to minus 75 centigrade) and quite a few to the military, production eventually ending in 1988. The initial model was the short-nosed series 100, available on wheels, skis or floats; then came the 200, which had a longer nose, improved baggage capacity and uprated engines; and finally in '69 came the 300, which had 625 shp PT6A27s.

Just to confuse matters, the floatplane version of the 200 series retained the short nose. Driver Usb Serial Ch340. Overall, 844 hulls of all types were built and the majority remain in service, the type having found a niche that few other planes are available to fill, thanks to its rugged construction and its ability to haul 19 passengers out of small spaces. From a flight sim point of view, the great attraction of the Twin Otter is that high lift wing with its double slotted trailing edge flaps and drooping ailerons, which give it a great STOL performance. The Aerosoft Twin Otter is available as a 180 Mb download from the. For this, you get four different versions of the plane: wheeled, on floats and on skis; and fifteen different liveries, including the Royal Norwegian Air Force, British Airways, Yeti Airlines, Air Moorea and a slew of others. I did the review using a 2.66 Core2Duo with 4 Gb of RAM and a 768 Mb GeForce 8800GTX running Windows Vista and FSX SP2. Frame rates were very good throughout and although there was a performance hit compared to the default planes, it was never large enough to be problematic.

The download and installation went fine, creating the usual program group, which contains a 114 page manual, the first 31 pages of which are about the general operation of the plane, the remainder covering the avionics, the bulk of which is about the Bendix King KLN-90B GPS. For all that anyone who is familiar with the Caravan ought to be able to get it in the air, it is worth reading the documentation, not least because the Twin Otter has a relatively complicated panel compared to the default planes.

But don't let that put you off, because this addon is as fun as all got out. The visual model is excellent, with some very fine detailing indeed and the developers have somehow managed the neat trick of making the interior visible without killing the frames rates dead. I do not know how the developers have managed to do it, but this is one of the few planes I have loaded in Flight Simulator that looks as big as it does in real life. Just about all the panel line detailing is there and the doors, wheels and control surfaces are particularly well done - if you drop the flaps, the selection of ironmongery under the wing is a sight to behold. The liveries are very good, none of the textures show blurring and the reflective shine isn't particularly overdone. Serial 2k. All the usual animations are there, together with opening doors, the ailerons droop with the flaps and the interiors differ from plane to plane, where appropriate; the gear flexes and the nose wheel oleo compresses. One place where the animation departs from reality is that the flaps can only be lowered in stages, this being a limitation of Flight Simulator that has never been attended to by Microsoft - many aircraft, the Twin Otter included, allow you put the flaps wherever you want them and being limited to four stages isn't quite as real as it gets.
