On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being best), how do you rate your Overall Enjoyment of this aircraft?
I’ve been trying to figure out how to add the fs2024 garmin 530 GPS into the Aerosoft Twin Otter to replace the GPS in it from fs2020 to make it work properly. As of now the Aerosoft works with fs2024 however the GPS only barely works as you cannot manually input waypoints into the GPS that comes with it and can’t go direct to a flightplan that you upload into it via the EFB which means that the autopilot is nonfunctional if trying to use to follow a flightplan because it won’t go direct a waypoint.
However other than that everything else works as it is supposed to with the Aerosoft Twin Otter in FS2024.
I use a Velocity One flight yoke and quadrant.Throttle, mixture and propeller pitch handles are reverse. Throttle handle is stuck in the maximum reverse power !. The quadrant elevator trim axe not cannot be bind. And, engines running, there is no beacon or exterior lights. Unflyable for now.
Edit: I found on Internet the solution for the reverse handles hidden in the right little wheel in the handle setting.
I finally manage to make a flight. The plane flight behavior is good. The engine sound though is nowhere near the real one. Much too silent. The old Aerosoft Twin sound was more like it. I can say that because I flew many times in this sky tractor. And, as it was already noted, the speed gauge does not work. Very annoying when landing.
I’ve only had the rear wheels sinking into the runway which makes it pitch all over, so far!
Oh, the reversed texture on the rear left tyre that shows ‘Good Year’ mirrored is an annoying lack of attention to detail - especially when you specifically do a tyre check in pre-flight.
Maybe remove the plane from cache and try again. I just had a quick flight in it and the wheels acted normal (see screenshot below). The speed tape was working too. I haven’t noticed anything weird with panning around in the cockpit either.
100% agree with last post, reflexions in the cockpit are way overdone and look really bad !
Another problem is the sound of the rain. Even with light drops that you can’t even see on the windscreen, it plays a very loud noise of rain with no transition at all. It’s ON or OFF and really weird.
this plane now seems to be working for me except when starting from cold and dark if i hit my right mouse button the electrical system turns off momentarily. It works fine if i begin with engines running.
Well, the windows are not modeled at all to be precise. That’s why you don’t see windshield effects, in fact, you’ll see the rain in the cockpit. It’s ridiculous.
With the wheeled variant, aileron animations are incorrect (flipped), and the floor of the cockpit is bright pink…also, not adding the long-nosed variant is incredibly disappointing.
I talked about this in the other Twin Otter topic, but since this is the official feedback topic, I will mention in here.
The beauty of the Twin Otter in real life is how versatile it is.
It’s a STOL aircraft, capable of landing on short, rugged airstrips. It can deliver passengers, cargo, be used for medivac, and is popular with skydiving. In a sim built around a new career mode that includes all of those as career options, I am super disappointed that a cargo variant and skydive variant weren’t included. This amazing aircraft feels like it was more of an afterthought when it quite honestly could have been the star of career mode, let alone free flight mode. I also question why the long nose version wasn’t included. As said in the other topic, the long nose version is the Twin Otter look. Why not include it? It was even shown in promotional screenshots.
I don’t like or accept the idea of forgetting about this Twin Otter. I understand that their track record hasn’t been the greatest and it may be more wishful thinking on my part, but I just can’t accept waiting years for another developer to jump in and even begin to build one from scratch rather than seeing Microsoft fix and improve what they have. The fact is, they do have a good base to build on. But it definitely needs to be built upon. It feels like such a missed opportunity here - but I do believe it’s something they can still deliver going forward if they decide to.
