Nice mod, thanks! Another method which works for me is to change spoiler_limit=60 to spoiler_limit=10 in the [AIRPLANE_GEOMETRY] section of the FLIGHT_MODEL.CFG. The prop drag effect is still noticeable but it’s much less likely to cause a catastrophic stall.

If you want the gradual application of the spoiler, but don’t want it to deploy fully you can lower 83 to 50 or 60 - then it will only deploy 2/3 of the way.
Does the Twotter have any WASM coding in it? Just wondering why it hasn’t appeared on the Xbox marketplace yet.

No, I don’t think so. I suppose all the Bvars and Asobo templates were used to ease its way into the Xbox.

Thanks, will give this a try.
As I recently posted in the Goose thread, there is a way to apply an invisible anchor, when loading a floatplane or amphibious at a dock.
If you have acces to simevents (through third party software like AAO, Spad etc.) you can use the event K:FREEZE_LATITUDE_LONGITUDE_SET
That will make the plane stay completely still on the latitude/lontigtude axis (it will still weather wane around its axis though).
In AAO, I’ve made a very simple script and made it run in the background as an aircraft script:
(A:BRAKE PARKING POSITION, bool)·(>K:FREEZE_LATITUDE_LONGITUDE_SET)
So, if the parking brake is on, the position is frozen. I can assure you this anchor is very effective as it can hold the Twotter still in the strongest gusts - and with the engines at full power!
Release the parking brake and the plane will “cast the moorings”.

does the aircraft move (roll in the water, or quarter in the wind) at ‘anchor’?
Great find! Thank you!
I have been searching for a workaround like this. There aren’t many seaplane dock sceneries but I have found a couple…however pulling up to or staying on the dock is so impossible that it ruins the experience for me.
It does bob up and down a bit.

How would I enter this in mobiflight? under which menu? I added it to the interior.xml.
You don’t need to add it manually to the interior.xml anymore. Aerosoft kindly included the Lvars in the latest release.
In the events.txt for Mobiflight you can call the events like:ASDHC6_NO_SM_TOGGLE#1 (>L:ASDHC6_NO_SM_TOGGLE)
You could also call the Lvars in Mobiflight itself, but I don’t use that (I only use their wasm).
I am completely computer illiterate, how would i go about doing that and where is the events.txt?
Found the events.txt. what do i need to add specially for the battery and generator switch?
This:
ASDHC6_GENERATORS_TOGGLE#1 (>L:ASDHC6_GENERATORS_TOGGLE)
ASDHC6_DC_SOURCE_BAT#3 (>L:ASDHC6_DC_SOURCE_SET)
ASDHC6_DC_SOURCE_OFF#2 (>L:ASDHC6_DC_SOURCE_SET)
Do I enter this in the event.txt? Where and what do I put in MF?
If you have no clue about this, this is not going to succeed. Check some tutorials etc. I can’t help you any further as I don’t use Mobiflight.
This is what I did with spad next; commented out the code in the xml files. Seems to work pretty well!
hey everyone
has anyone managed to assign the emergency standby fuel boost pumps with an lvar in spad.next?
I would really like all switches to be assigned…even though I dont need them as they are emergency… I think the de ice boots and bleed air also did not work…thats the only reason I dont fly the twin otter that much.
I think you need Bvars to manipulate those. Spad doesn’t have Bvar support, does it? I think you Spad users should approach the Spad producer as more and more planes use Bvars.

Looking good. If you set the beta variable unit to degrees you can refer to the figure on the prop range in the manual.
