Aerosoft Twin Otter baby!

For those with SPAD next that would like to do this, here is what you need to do:

  • Edit DHC6_Templates_Systems.xml under aerosoft-aircraft-twin-otter\SimObjects\Airplanes\AS_Aircraft_DHC6_Common\ModelBehaviorDefs

  • Comment out the spoiler line @ the bottom:

  • Create two expressions in SPAD next

  • the First expression is the decision value, the sum of the prop beta values in degrees

  • Second the linear calculation for the axis (0-16864)

  • [SIMCONNECT:PROP BETA:1,DEGREES] + [SIMCONNECT:PROP BETA:2,DEGREES]

  • pow((34-([SIMCONNECT:PROP BETA:1,DEGREES] + [SIMCONNECT:PROP BETA:2,DEGREES] )),2)*83

  • Then you apply this logic to the throttle axis of your controller (Bravo in this case)
  • I chose to do it globally for now. Later I’ll do it per prop / per side.

EDIT:
Did I find a bug? You can set the spoiler axis WAY WAY above 16384, and doing so causes the plane to freak out / crash when going into beta because the spoiler axix values go WAY above 16K. So I have a limiter added.

Overall this works freaking great, 100% more controllable and predictable.

Huge thanks to @UnsealedKarma36 for unpacking the RPN which I am terrible at and the SPAD DIscord group for help getting this working.
