Aerosoft Twin Otter EXTENDED The Twin Otter Extended In FSX Vol 1 1-1-2 19 November 2013 INTRODUCTION The Twin Otter Extended is a follow up project on the previous Twin Otter projects we did. The reason we do so many Twin Otters is simple, we love the aircraft and we feel it should always be in our hangars made to the current State-Of-The-Art.

Aerosoft Twin Otter EXTENDED The Twin Otter Extended In FSX Vol 1 1-1-4 19 November 2013 INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL Installation is simple-- start the .exe file you downloaded and follow the instructions on screen. Make sure FSX (P3D) is closed and we do advise you to reboot your system before installing.
Aerosoft Twin Otter EXTENDED The Twin Otter Extended In FSX Vol 1 1-1-5 19 November 2013 CONFIGURATION There are settings used by the aircraft that cannot be set by standard FSX dialog screens. These can be changed by the configuration page of the Checklist. Because it is not always easy to see the most important engine parameters and because ice on the structure cannot be seen there are indications for that on this page as well. Failures and enhanced icing: Enables the non-standard failures.
Aerosoft Twin Otter EXTENDED The Twin Otter Extended In FSX Vol 1 1-1-6 19 November 2013 DIGITAL FLIGHT DATA RECORDER Not standard equipment in the Twin Otter (though many have it retrofitted) we have installed a Digital Flight Data Recorder in the Twin Otter. It will log many flight parameters and will save them on your hard disk. These data files can be read and displayed with a tool that is delivered with the Twin Otter Extended.
Aerosoft Twin Otter EXTENDED The Twin Otter Extended In FSX Vol 1 1-1-7 19 November 2013 You will find buttons to see your flights in Google Earth (get that here: www.google.com/earth/index.html), to open it with FS Flight Keeper, delete a flight, import a flight or to save a flight. A saved file can be shared with other people, for example your Virtual Airline. Please keep in mind that the display tool is just a small sample of what Flight Simulator Flight Keeper can do.
Aerosoft Twin Otter EXTENDED The Twin Otter Extended In FSX Vol 1 1-1-8 19 November 2013 FUEL PLANNER / LOAD MANAGER Included with the Twin Otter Extended is a fuel planning tool. Actually it does a bit more as it also allows you to load passengers and cargo. By just adapting a few basic parameters (amount of passengers and departure/arrival airport) it will calculate the fuel needed. All these parameters can be manually changed when needed.
Aerosoft Twin Otter EXTENDED The Twin Otter Extended In FSX Vol 1 1-1-9 19 November 2013 FSX SETTINGS There are a few settings that influence this aircraft. OPTIONS | SETTINGS | DISPLAY Advanced animations needs to be ON Preview DirectX 10 can be activates, but to avoid problems we advise you to keep it OFF Aircraft casts shadows on the ground can be left ON as it will hardly affect frame rate.
Aerosoft Twin Otter EXTENDED The Twin Otter Extended In FSX Vol 1 1-1-10 19 November 2013 AIRCRAFT | REALISM SETTING The most important settings are in the Aircraft settings: realism dialog. Flight model: Set it to full realistic. Believe us; it will fly easier that way. Instrument and lights: You do want to control the lights and the gyro drift is not hard to handle (in fact you can ignore it). Of course we want indicated airspeed, true airspeed is totally useless.
Aerosoft Twin Otter EXTENDED The Twin Otter Extended In FSX Vol 1 1-1-11 19 November 2013 FLYING THE TWIN OTTER Flying the Twin Otter is remarkably easy. The aircraft is stable, reliable and even close to the ragged edge of the flight envelope will be predictable. YouTube is full of videos of Twin Otters doing the most amazing things. From landings in high winds to going vertical after delivering a load of parachutists to their departure altitude. And you should fly the Twin Otter like that.
