Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Aerosoft Share Posted August 27, 2012 Sounds good! I hope that this will also fix the issue with the "jumping" plane if you return the throttle to “idle” after using the reversers. I often use the Twin Otter on floats and I find it very annoying that is „jumps“ ahead whenever I use the reversers... That will not happen with this version.

DocBird 12 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 That will not happen with this version. Perfect! So you can count me in for the new model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Extended version of the Twin Otter will also feature Start locks which are fitted on many/most float equipped Twin Otters. The start locks will prevent the propellers from feathering during shutdown (if shutdown procedure is done correctly), this again will ensure that the propellers won´t have to unfeather on startup, which is the cause for the jumping ahead during engine start on most FSX turboprop driven floatplanes.

Finn FAR OUT! WOW Finn! You guys are stepping up the game. I like it. Minute details such as start locks are often over looked. To see that you guys are going that extra mile shows that this is gonna be SOME simulation. Holy Props! Now I'm excited all over again! Go Aerosoft!

levkovv 18 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The only time I seen that done realistic it cut FPS in the VC by 50%. You are not willing to loose that amount of FPS for something like that. I have to ask which product are you refering to? I have seen it done realistically on the Lotus L-39 and it has the same fps in cockpit as default planes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen it done realistically on the Lotus L-39 and it has the same fps in cockpit as default planes... On all of my systems the rains drops of that product cut my FPS by half. Logical as these layered transparencies are very hard to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Sounds good, Finn. And this will also eliminate the “jumping” issue when I use the reverser (e.g. for taxiing to a peer) and then go back to Idle?

These will be the best simulated turboprops for FSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like finally a developer (Aerosoft) has set its sights on building advanced turboprops for FSX/P3D. I can die happy. I love Twotters. The Bronco is super cool too. Excellent start, guys. The "Turboprop Ambassador" is satisfied........for now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took us a long time to decide to invest time in getting the engines right because it is really hard, FSX makes a huge mess of them. But with the Bronco we learned how and with the Twotter we can use the experience we gained there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking to buy a new more powerful system in the next few weeks in anticipation of the onslaught FSX is gonna get from me....... We appreciate your efforts and that of the team's, us down here in the Caribbean. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo, it is blasphemy to put a glass cockpit in the twotter. A GPS, sure, there will be one, and probably provisions to add the rxp one, but if you want glass cockpit, there is a nice airbus in the works right now.
