|  The De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter is one of the most versatile aircraft
ever designed. Still Canada's most successful commercial aircraft program with
more than 800 built, the Twin Otter remains popular for its rugged construction
and useful STOL performance.
Boxed version here.
The De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter (aka Twotter) is one of those
aircraft that should have been replaced by some new aircraft at least a decade
ago. But it's not. The DHC-6 still flies and in fact the amount of registered is
risen at this moment. The main reason for it is the fact it is just as much at
home at the poles as it is in the tropics. It is used to maintain routes to
airports up to 9000 feet and to ferry between islands. It will fly everywhere
using wheels, floats or skis. It's a legend. This STOL twin turboprop commuter airliner was in production between 1964 and
1988, with over 800 build it has been the most successful aircraft build in
Canada. The model is currently been upgraded to a 400 version by Viking Air who
holds the type certificate for the Twin Otter. The high end model presented by Aerosoft and partly designed by SibWings
includes all versions, and advanced avionics set. It is perfectly suited for use
on some of Aerosofts' most popular scenery products such as Lukla X and
German Airfields 1. The gauges include two high end Bendix King systems that
provide near perfect navigation and communication capabilities. Of course the
original panel is also an option. One of the main design goals was to keep the
memory and CPU load of this aircraft as low as possible to ensure good frame
rates. By keeping the number of non essential items in the models low this was
achieved. The Twin Otter is only as demanding as the very basic default
aircraft of FSX! Features: - Five models (100 floats/wheels/ski, 300 wheel/wheel ski)
- Three different interiors (passengers, cargo, skydiver)
- Fourteen different liveries (paint kit provided to registered customers)
- Five different high definition flight models (exact on the numbers and
very realistic feedback)
- Although complex, very easy on frame rate
- Sound set in full FSX format with sound cones (so when you walk around
the aircraft the sound changes), with wheel, float and ski versions.
- Almost all gauges in the Model and not in GAUGE or XML format. This
makes them totally smooth in Virtual Cockpit (same update as your frame
rate).
- Seven view modes defined, no 2d cockpit provided (but you won't miss it)
- Fully compliant to FSX dual cockpit and FSX failure modes
- Standard avionics or upgraded set with KX165A and KLN90B
- Dual Bendix/King KX 165A Transceiver, advanced simulation of this
best known transceiver :
- Active and Standby frequencies with Direct Tune option
- Stores 6 most used frequencies
- Count up and countdown timer
- Navigation OBS page (with To/From indication)
- Navigation bearing page showing bearing to the signal station
- Bendix/King KLN 90B GPS Navigation System, advanced simulation of
this complex navigation instrument :
- Complete flight plan with course deviation, ground speed ETE and
Bearing
- Position display with Lat/Lon and VOR radial and distance
- Desired track, track error, current track and minimal safe altitude
- Waypoint entering with altitude and full calculation option

- Super Navigation screens using both displays
- Altitude Calculations
- True Airspeed Calculations
- Wind Calculations
- VNV Angle calculations
- Speed and Temperature conversions

- Trip Planning
- Airport Data pages with location, runways, frequencies, directly
send to flight plan
- Nearest Airport, nearest VOR, nearest NDB
