altstiff 28 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Amazing. There seems to be no limits to what a Twin Otter can be equipped with. Nice video btw. Thanks, did you see the engine start video that you requested I shoot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Aerosoft Share Posted July 11, 2012 Work on the exterior has more or less been completed (for this version) and work is now shifted to the VC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helifan123 200 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Great screenshots there, Mathijs! The developer did a great work. When you announced there'll be a new Twotter, I though I won't buy it. But after seeing this pictures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeromaestro 60 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 HOLY MOLY!!! AWESOME PROGRESS!!! The prop spinning textures are BANG ON! WOW! Question: I see that that is for a 4 blade prop. Is Aerosoft gonna do a separate 3 blade prop spinning texture for the 3 blade version or just use the 4 blade texture on all models? Credit card gonna be working overtime this summer...

Chaders 97 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I can't believe how much better this version looks!! I for one love the original Twotter and it just shows how far our hobby continues to progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The close up of the underside of the wind looks outstanding. I dont think Ive seen any addon with that kind of rivet detail on the wings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Hoffmann 4160 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The close up of the underside of the wind looks outstanding. I dont think Ive seen any addon with that kind of rivet detail on the wings One wing underside alone contains around 9000 rivets...the fuselage and engine not have the total riveting yet they will receive in the final version as i switched to VC modeling now, so the system guys can do their job when i parallely work on the rest of the exterior and the further variants.

Aeromaestro 60 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 See post #280: http://forum.aerosof...240#entry386281 Not what I meant. I know they're doing multiple versions of the plane. I wanted to know if they're going to use the 4 blade version's prop spinning texture on the 3 blade version or will the 3 blade have it's own? Kinda like the Majestic Software Dash 8 Q300. The prop spinner texture only simulates TWO blades spinning when we know the Dash has 4 blade props. That still bugs me to this day so I was just wondering if the Twotter was gonna be the same way, a 4 blade prop spin texture where a 3 blade should be.

jencas 70 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 As I read there would be no discount for owners of the previous model, I decided not to buy the new twotter. Now that I see these impressive pictures, I'm going to think about reconsidering my decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan, quite simply outstanding work! The engines on the old model kind of bugged me, I look forward to seeing them after your magic touch.

ChrisB 11 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 You know... this Twotter is quite possibly going to be THE model to get me back in to flight simulation - and even back in to do some painting again. Especially if the paintkit lives up to the same apparent high standards that are shown by the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Eric Bakker 736 Posted July 12, 2012 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted July 12, 2012 Talking about Twotters (and Beavers), I just found back this joke in a very old forum thread, full credits go to 'altstiff': A guy named Joe and his sister go to the harness races one sunny afternoon to race an old trotting horse they have in hopes they can sell him. While there he notices a guy with a sign "white beaver for sale". So the guy tells his sister he would like to see one. Joe walks over and says "hello sir what is a white beaver"? The man replies "they are just that, a white haired beaver". "Can I see one?" Joe says. The man replies "Well it belongs to my wife and you can't look unless you seriously intend to buy". So Joe says, "I'll tell you what, you let me see your wifes beaver and I'll get my sister to show you her twotter later....... http://forum.aerosof...ogs/#entry32558 For non native-English-speaking readers: http://ceredrotian.c...ing-and-pacing/ http://www.urbandict...php?term=beaver http://www.urbandict...hp?term=twotter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul K 93 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Hey Paul, I think this new Twotter could be one of the few things that fits the "A" word No...it wont. Its a very good model of an aircraft for use in a home flight simulator. Its not the cure for cancer or proof alien life exists, or even the Second Coming.

We gonna use that special german twotter as testbed, as we had access to it. After the cockpit is done too, there will be the correct props on the planes, so also 3 blade props...and what many demanded...airstairs! One example for that would be the british airways variant, how we find it at that lovely Bara beach airfield. I hope i spelled it correctly...but twotter fans will know what i mean: takeoff from the narrow shore waters when the tides are coming back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
