jetjerry 1 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I would like to know if there are any plans for a single engine factory stock Otter with the R1340 engine from Aerosoft? And/OR a Caribou with the original R2000's from Aerosoft? I love what you have done so far with the great old DHC products, and as I used to fly many of them, I'd like to see a good representation in FSX of the two above. All I fly these days is this box of chips. Thank you, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubby 0 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Ya, I would also really like to see and DHC-3 Otter with all engine configurations, like the two turbine engines and the radial and the usual Float, wheels, skis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewliner57 0 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Hi Mathijs , Did You ever consider Building a Turbo Beaver for FSX ? Theres probally less than 50 Real Turbo Beaver's around today . I know that is a Small number compared to most Aircraft but Turbo Beaver's are Beautiful and deserve to be noticed . Dave Rees has all the Information on Turbo Beaver's , You would need , to start a Project like this . This is the only Aircraft , that I Love even more than a Twin Otter . Please , Please consider this . :wink: All the Best , Dewliner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zemke 1 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 +1 for the turbo Beaver especially since you have good connection with Viking Aircraft 85% of the model already exist and the time you put in understanding turboprop modelisation with FSX for the twin otter would surely help to built up new FDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidv 0 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I would also love to see both the Turbo Beaver and the Single Otter. I don't think there has ever been a payware / fully featured single otter made for flightsim. Perhaps the Turbo Beaver could be a paid "expansion pack" to the current Beaver as everything nose back on the model could be saved, just a few gauges changed on the VC. For the single Otter turbine and piston would be great to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewliner57 0 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hi David . I would like to see a Radial or Turbine Otter , and Turbo Beaver as well . These 3 Aircraft dominated My Life as a Child in the 1970's and 1960's . I never saw a Twin Otter until 1981 , but have fallen in Love with them ever since . There has never been a Otter or Turbo Beaver as a Payware version as far as I know either . All the Best , Dewliner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Myers 0 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Yeah, do it! A Turbo Beaver would be fantastic in FSX. It wouldn't be so much work, the Beaver is there already, and just about everything back from the firewall is the same, except for the engine instrumentaion, and the dorsal keel-area extention under the empenage. The turbine Beaver uses a P&W PT-6 too, like the Twin Otter, not sure about the exact dash version though. The engine data from the Twin Otter would be accurate enough anyway. If aerosoft decide to do it, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. There has nerver been a really good payware version of it, although Fred Bantings version in FS8 was real good for freeware back then, I loved it! C'mon Mathijs, make a lot of people very happy I'm sure the market is there for a Turbo Beaver, it'd probably sell at least as well as the piston version. Why don't you do a poll to see if the demand is there? Regards Grahame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewliner57 0 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Good Morning Guy's . I see there is still no reply about a Turbo Beaver or Otter ? Somebody Please respond ? I absolutely know Aerosoft could make a Fine Turbo Beaver or Radial Otter or even a Turbine Otter . All the Best , Dewliner :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the Best , Dewliner :wink: Normally I leave these kinds of comments simmer a while to see what comments they get. Right now we have no plans for an aircraft mentioned in this thread, but FSX will have a good life span so it still might happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewliner57 0 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hi Mathijs . Well that is a little encouraging at least . By the Way , the Aerosoft Twin Otter has helped Me make the Move from FS9 to FSX . Keep up the Great Work . Dewliner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick C 110 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I'd imagine the Twin Otter has proven a point has it not? I've rarely seen the FSX community so excited over a project. The F-16, Cat and H-1 will all be first class too, but I'm sure we've got room for a Turbo Beaver in our Hangars and as Kevin said, Dave of course has all the data 8) Make an Amphib version and you may even please Mr Pearson! Consider that my tuppence worth and here's a picture I stole from Viking's website: http://www.vikingair.com/content.aspx?id=270# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Myers 0 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I'm a bit surprised that this thread is so quiet, I'd have thought that more people would've been interested in a turbo-beaver. This reply will bump it up anyway, maybe people will start to notice it (I hope :wink: ) regards Grahame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverees 0 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi guys, If Aerosoft wants to build another D/H product from a Beaver to a DASH-7 then I will be more than happy to support the effort. I love them (I don't really have a choice though, LOL) and would actually put my vote on the poor unrecognized workhorse, the Buffalo. It's the only A/C in the world that looks, sounds and performs like it does. Built like a brick, it also crashes very well (you guys have all probably seen the Farnborough Airshow video where they all walked away). Anyway, I'm in if you need me. Cheers, Dave Viking Air BTW, The Turbo Beaver shown in the above pic, C-FBVR, is our company A/C we use to get around the West Coast. Our owners also have a 737-500 that we use for the longer hauls. After much grief and paperwork it is now registered in Canada as C-FPHS. Sweet eh. I love my job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewliner57 0 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Good Morning Dave . The Caribou is a Good choice too . There is a Payware version of it available though , already . All the Best , Dewliner :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daverees 0 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi guys, Quick correction is in order. C-FDTB is our company Turbo Beaver, not BVR. Sorry, long day and brain damage. Took some pics of both DTB and C-FPHS on the ramp outside my office today but can't seem to upload them here. Later, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
