Hello. Former real Islander pilot here. I just bought this aircraft and, surprisingly, the flight model seems really accurate compared to the real thing. Some of the sounds could be improved a bit, but generally the aircraft is really good. I flew the aircraft generally on short trips, and I can say that even though it's not the fastest airplane in the world, it was a real joy to fly. The only other ting that I could say is that the aircraft is a tad more floatier than in real life than is in the sim. Overall great review.

[@340ACP]

Very good comments and I agree as another former Islander aviator! The one I flew was used as a flying school bus to bring children from a remote island to the main land village where the school was located, lots of fun memories

[@BernardLangham]

all MSFS aircraft are floatier than they should be because the of the sim's exaggerated ground effect.

[@jarrodclyne707]

Super interesting - usually in MSFS the aircraft seem floatier than in real life, but for the Islander it's the other way around?

@@Medieval1-1 This was never an 'Early Access' release. And, yes - we should applaud a dev. who supports a plane a long time after it's come out - especially when the changes are fairly significant. It's taken Aerosoft 18 months make the Twin Otter sound like it hasn't got Asthma.

Water animations are the most realistic thing here. Some of the best I've seen. Could easily be mistaken for real water.

[@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24]

I don't want realistic water grafixs I want a full size flat-packed ready to assemble cockpit shipped with the sim

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Hi Wanderer, Yes, the waves do look really rather good don't they. It's the wind setting that makes the difference; by increasing the wind, you can induce the white caps and wave animations, which I find makes the water look a lot more realistic (otherwise it often looks a bit too much like a millpond in MSFS). Cheers, all the best! : )

I wanted to like the Islander, but I thought it looked too rough for me. Graham of BBS promised to overhaul it once he was finished with the Trislander, and by all accounts he's kept his word. I purchased the Islander a few days ago in anticipation, and I'm looking forward to getting the email the V2 is available and taking her for her first spin. Congrats Graham on what looks like a wonderful update, thanks for your work, and I'll be sure to keep an eye on BBS products into the future!

[@XCougar85X]

Thanks for yet another nice re-review. Looking forward to the V2. It has been one of my favs in the game and the one i have the most hours in after the Arrow and Kodiak. Even as the Tri, i won't call that one real study either but not too far off. Two real fun planes to fly.

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Cheers Coenraad! Yeah, I think you said you’d been using it for a tour of Oz (if I recall correctly)? The Islander is certainly good fun; I gather the Trislander is really good as well, but I just can’t bring myself to purchase that ugly duckling haha XD All the best!

[@XCougar85X]

@@IntotheBlueSimulations Haha that's right, you have good memory friend. yeah the Trislander is quite nice too. Though it does have some quircks that i gather have translated into the V2 of the Islander as well like some exessive wobble on the ground when the engines run, Roll back when parking brake is on and you add throttle and some quite speedy cruise speeds for the power settings but after talking to the dev and trying to help it was just too much of a problem to get right. Fix speeds at one altitude/QNH and you mess up the rest. So tbh i would not call it study level as it doesn't fly as close to the numbers as some but the planes are a lot of fun to hand fly and the carb icing has thrown me for some crazy aproaches where they iced up while i had like power at itdle and when i needed power nothing came. never flipped the carb heat so fast. That said i haven't flown the Tri that much lately, very busy in DCS and attempting another world tour from the southern tip of Chile to Alaska in the C337 (all handflying). Though i recon once the V2 comes in the market place i may do some legs of the world tour in the V2 Islander as well.

[@WhiteHawk77]

Nice, exterior model was quite noticeable, looks pretty good, and the sounds are quite nice. I haven’t had a chance to fly the original much, but definitely will do a couple of flights in V2 when it’s released in between learning the Fenix A320.

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Yes, there’s definitely been some significant improvements WhiteHawk. The Islander still isn’t right up there graphically, but the update certainly brings the aircraft more in-line with what we expect from an MSFS addon. Enjoy the update and indeed learning the Fenix : ) Cheers!

[@Foxtrot_EW]

I can't wait till this comes out on marketplace!

[@rakon8496]

Immersive procedures during startup, loved it! Easy to imagine sitting beside you in the "real" airframe and getting things explained. Great example of an optical correct airframe- the ceiling feels quite near, but i am pretty sure it is in reality. I wonder what causes the heavy distortions e.g. in the Learfan, didn't check it out myself but it looks horrible when panning around. It's not only the correction slider or the zoom level, pretty sure it has something to do with the model scaling or the model specific viewing angles... Anyways, wish you a "cool" weekend! 💙

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Cheers Ra, that’s certainly the sort of feeling I try to go for (like the viewer is actually “there”) ; ) Yeah, I’ve noticed the same weird fish eye effect with a few other addons of late. Zoom level certainly helps, but I’m not sure what the route cause is. I agree though, it’s unpleasant and annoying - no such issues with the Islander though happily. Hope you had a great weekend also! : )

Hi Alexander, Yes the update is definitely a nice, substantial improvement. I too would like to see GTN750 integration. I do believe it’s planned, but I didn’t make any mention of it during the review, as I’m not 100% sure on that one. Thanks once again! All the best : )

Great flight and video as always from ITBS. Fair call on the textures, but as it is an Islander of course I absolutely love the product regardless. Some things not shown but probably worth mentioning (and already experienced in the Trislander): door animations are now nice and slow, cargo variant will show stuff piling up in the back according to payload entered, and there is a clipboard in the door pocket to remove static elements. As for "study level" (going by the Tri again), you will need to use carb heat frequently.

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Thanks very much Achim, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Yes, some good points raised there regarding the Islander. I haven’t tried the Trislander myself, but it seems to be a fan favourite haha. I gather the Islander will get more failure features in the future, once the sim supports such a thing more readily - looking forward to that! Cheers! : )

Thanks very much Paul, I’m really glad you enjoyed it! Ooof, that’s a tough one! I guess it depends what you prefer in an addon: the Twin Otter is graphically a little bit more up to modern standards and has a bit more inherent complexity to it, the Islander has a bit more depth to it though and has better sounds etc. I like and enjoy both aircraft, but the Twin Otter seems to have been a little bit abandoned and I think most would say that the Islander is the better of the two products. I hope that helps a little. All the best! : )

Ah well there you go; I actually just finished a book (I’ve forgotten the name already haha) about an RN mission, sending the Buccaneers down to Belize to keep everything in order.

[@Jim610]

Left Mag only for start is actually quite normal. Left mag is the impulse mag. Nearly all piston engined aircraft with a Bendix started switch start left mag only, you just don't know it because you move the switch from both to start but in start the right mag is off. Also during the ground runup is in normal to do the carb heat first to clear any potential ice build up before you do the engine checks.

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Ah well there you go Jim, I stand corrected haha! I must admit I was not previously aware of that. . . Thanks for the info. That's an interesting point re the carb heat: certainly I was always taught the sequence I demonstrated in this video and that was in-line with the checklists we were using at the time, but your suggestion seems very logical and I can't think of many benefits to doing things the other way around (perhaps getting a bit more heat into the exhaust during the runup?). Cheers and all the best once again! : )

[@marshie1337]

my favorite plane in the sim. very cool to wake up and see that a vid on this old girl dropped. how do you know how to accurately do the start up procedures on all these planes? if you learn one jet, or prop plane, do the procedures carry over pretty easily to others (with some minor variations i'm sure)? i feel like i need to learn how to do these, to step up the sim experience. i'm more of a start with engines running and vfr guy but i wanna learn how to navigate properly (not just vfr map with a start and end airport), program gps/fmc, etc.. i just bought the fsacademy addons on your recommendation. hopefully shortly i will be a better sim pilot lol. keep up the great work ItB, your work is greatly enjoyed and appreciated.

[@WhiteHawk77]

It’s called a checklist, you don’t fly without one in real life, and if you want to do things realistically you start there.

[@Foxtrot_EW]

My fave too!!!

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

It’s a bit of a combination of the factors you mention Marshie. Most aircraft types of the same category (eg single engine props, jets etc), tend to operate in broadly a similar way. Once you’ve learnt how to operate a B737 for example, you can have a pretty good stab at flying any commercial jet (as the systems architecture is broadly similar). Then it’s just a case of familiarising oneself with the panel a little and running through the checklist accordingly. In an ideal world I’d learn each aircraft in detail, but alas I don’t have the time, so I use a checklist and fill in the blanks with real-world knowledge / best guesses. Everyone enjoys simming in a different way of course but for me, learning the sorts of things you mention above, is where the fun / satisfaction of simming really comes from. I do hope you’re enjoying FS Academy and getting some good value out of it! I’m glad you enjoyed the outing in the Islander - hope you’re having fun in the updated version of the aircraft yourself now then. Cheers Marshie : )

Anyone finding that the autopilot is a bit wonky? VS and alt hold don't seem to function at all. Update: Marketplace version was outdated but has received v2.1 fixing all the issues. If you're a casual flyer like me this might be useful, unlike other planes (that i've used) it won't automatically level out at your selected altitude when using VS, you need to set your desired altitude and VS rate then select the ARM button. I might be mistaking how this works, but it works for me :P.

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Hi Cikame, Did the most recent patch help at all (I haven't had a chance to fly the aircraft since)? Unfortunately the default MSFS autopilot is rather wonky at the best of times (VS tend to be particularly iffy) and I believe the Islander makes use of it. It's not a fix per se, but I generally find myself flying the climb / descent manually (on GA aircraft) and just using ALT HOLD for the cruise; that seems to be about all the default autopilot can manage on many addons. Not ideal of course, but most of the fixes really need to happen on Asobo's end I think. Cheers, all the best!

Hello Jeffrey, Yes, I strongly suspect there is an inaccuracy in the systems modelling, with regards to the single vacuum pump (especially given the size of the Islander) and the vacuum gauge would seem to confirm that.

I find I probably get more use out of the Islander overall. I’m not using any water addon during the video. In MSFS, water animation is affected by wind speed; I cranked the wind speed up a little bit for this flight - I find it generally gives the water a more realistic look. I hope that helps. All the best : )

It's interesting that 3D modelling is still a problem for many developers. Can't you just laser scan the aircraft and get all the detailing exactly right?

[@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24]

No because the model would have too many polygons. They need to strike a balance between what looks good/detailed and what won't destroy frame rate when rendering real time.

[@mrmisterno1]

@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 I see. The cars in racing sims looks absolutely flawless but I guess a flight sim is a much more demanding thing so you have to cheap out on the fidelity of the aircraft.

[@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24]

@@mrmisterno1 I'd guess a racing game is easier because the environment is only the race track and so its limited. Therefore you have more polygons to spend on everything. This sims environment is a huge opening world so there's more to render and this means you cannot use as many polygons on things because consumer hardware won't be able to render it. Remember old sims from the 90s where everything was blocky. Basically because back then the whole plane had less polygons than the yoke has in this sim

[@QBziZ]

@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 A lot of Asobo aircraft are scanned. They post-process the polys to reach a sweat spot level-of-detail vs performance.

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Yes, there quite a noticeable gulf between some addon standards and others when it comes to modelling / texturing. I believe Sim Works Studios did actually laser scan their Kodiak and it certainly shows - it would be great if more devs could do the same. Texturing plays a big part as well though; I think the modelling of the Islander is good, but some more detailed / photorealistic textures would go a long way. Some devs I think are still using older modelling / texturing processes in MSFS and this really rather shows, others seem to be working with all that MSFS has to offer. Cheers! : )

Hi, great looking sim, from the graphics point of view (currently) clear superior to P3D and XPlane - really stunning. However, loosing the attitude indicator and flying into the clouds (VFR->IMC) was surely only "possible" in a sim ;-)

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Hi Florian, Yeah, probably not a manoeuvre to be recommended haha. That being said, it looked worse in the video than it actually did in the sim - I was skirting the edge of the cloud and visual throughout.

Great review as ever, do you know if this update will come to Xbox? This has to be one of my favourite aircraft to fly, but recently I've been flying the trilander which to me seems more study level , but I think it's no where near as pretty as the islander. Gary

[@simcptmike]

Is the engine out the reason you lost your attitude indicator on final?

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Hi Mike, Essentially yes. I’m not entirely sure that was accurate behaviour though; the vacuum gauge seemed to suggest that each engine has a vacuum pump fitted (I haven had a chance to check out whether or not that is indeed the case on the Islander). Obviously if that’s the case, the failure of one engine should not have resulted in a loss of the vacuum system / attitude indicator. I hope that helps. All the best! : )

[@jcommtube]

Strangely the MP on the left engine didn't drop that much ?

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Hi Jcomm, Yeah, I did notice that at the time, but didn’t have much of a chance to look into it. I “failed” the engine by shutting off the fuel, so needle rolled back to ambient press on the left and as I was high power / low altitude, so I guess the right hand engine was coincidentally showing a very similar MP. You can see during the approach that there is much more of a spilt. I hope that clarifies things a little. All the best! : )

Hi I have similar build pc like you but running rtx 3070ti have you got mods working I play 2k ultra or 4k high but my game especially water dose not look as good is there a setting or a mod you use pls.

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Hi Mooks, Not really using any mods, at least not any that would have a visual impact. I only run on the "High-End" preset and in 1080p - that obviously gives nice smooth fps. The water looks as it does because of the wind conditions; increasing winds in the sim, will create taller waves, white caps etc (that look generally more realistic than the "millpond" conditions MSFS otherwise creates haha). The main reason my videos look the way that they do though, is that I spend a lot of time adjusting lighting / weather conditions for each flight. This makes a huge visual difference within the sim - clear skies and midday lighting can tend to look rather sub-par. I hope that helps. All the best! : )

[@klaussommer1498]

Another great review. iTB reviews are always very enjoyable and competent. I was wondering, whether carburator icing is modeled as it is in the Trislander and whethet there is a temperature gauge to monitor it. I also wonder whether fuel transfer between tanks is possible.

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Thanks Klaus, very kind of you to say! Apologies for the slow reply: Carburettor icing is indeed modelled and in fact it has been tweaked again in the most recent product update. I'm not at my PC right now but if memory serves me correctly, there is a carb air temp gauge, out to the left of the yoke. I don't believe it's possible to transfer fuel between the main tanks, but you can crossfeed off the opposite side. I seem to recall that on the aircraft with tip tanks, the pumps are modelled and will overheat if run for prolonged periods on empty tanks. I hope that all helps a little. Cheers and all the best! : )

Anyone from back in the day's of P3D and X-Plane will know that Black Box Simulations was the absolute number one laughing stock of the flight sim community. They would put out a product that was totally unflyable, with the worst 2D graphics known to man, with zero updates. It was upload and forget for them. Their reputation absolutely stank the place out. When a new plane or piece of software came out that was utter crap, and you bought it, the expression was "you have been black boxed" By the looks of it they are under new management. A management that actually cares about the products they make. And are also backing them up with regular updates. You can still see some of the sloppiness in their 3D design, but by God have they improved. Lets hope they stay motivated, and dedicated to MSFS. They have put out a really good plane here. Don't let us down. 👍👍

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Yes, I’m not quite sure what the story is there Chris. Certainly historically, BBS’ reputation was “chequered” and even that I found strange, since I gather BBS was born out of PSS - their Airbus being my first ever “study level” addon and one that I thought was superb (for its time). I was wary of purchasing any BBS products as a result I have to say and they didn’t do themselves any favours with the Bird Dog being released in an unfinished state. Still the Bird Dog was turned around and it seems most very much enjoy it now (I keep considering picking it up myself). The Islander whilst not particularly beautiful graphically, is a very solid effort and the Trislander seems to be a fan favourite. Apparently (let’s hope) a leopard can change its spots ; ) Cheers!

I bought it on recent sale, and even at $10, I regret it. People complain about the twin otter, but I vastly prefer it. I doubt I will ever fly this again. It looks awful. Xplane11 level maybe but there are better looking planes in that 7 year old sim. They suggest its study level, but there is no cabin temp simulation or other environs. There are no swappable better gps units. You open the doors with a switch panel, even though there is an obvious door handle. You open the window though by clicking on it. This thing must have been truly awful before v2, because even now I would call it the worst plane I own for the sim. Really turned off on Blackbox now. Yuck is the only word that comes to mind.

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Very sorry to hear that you aren’t happy with your purchase, t5sblanco. Unfortunately, visual modelling / texturing has never been one of Black Box’s strong suits and this continues to be the case, even with their more recent products. There are some strange design choices also with the addon (eg the door “switches”, as you mention). Personally, I think the aircraft flies quite nicely and sounds fairly decent; the systems aren’t “study level” but, on a par with most addons. I enjoy the Islander for what it is but, I know that the visuals will be a sticking point for many (and fair enough, they are pretty last-gen). In fairness to Black Box, there was a significant amount of work put into V2, all of which was done for free; I don’t think we’re looking at dev that doesn’t care, rather just a dev who’s skills haven’t kept up with the pace of development within modern sims. I do hope that the $10 didn’t represent too much of a hit. Happy flying and all the best!

[@t5sblanco]

@IntotheBlueSimulations it's not really about the 10 dollars. I usually feel your reviews are spot on. To me, this one missed the mark. Sure they did v2 for free. But there are plenty of devs who are coming back later and updating their products with feature additions and improvements. There are some who do not. In this case though, if I think of the islander as a developer quality and tech demo for their Shorts 300 series products, which is a regional flyer I am more interested in personally, nothing about this suggests to me the Shorts product at such an elevated price point is worth my time and that's unfortunate.

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Well, I am sorry if you felt I missed the mark, T5blanco (sincerely). I would just counter your point somewhat, in that I don’t think I misrepresented the product in any way? I try to avoid giving my opinions during reviews (unless I can back them up on screen) and instead aim to simply demonstrate each aspect of the product - I figure viewers can then make up their own minds. Graphical quality and sounds, tend to speak for themselves during a review. Systems depth, I aim to demonstrate with a full flight and the flight model is always the trickiest aspect to assess / convey to the viewer. The Islander still isn’t that pretty by modern standards (but I don’t think I said anything to the contrary?), I think the aircraft sounds pretty decent and the systems depth is acceptable. I think the aircraft flies quite nicely and that has (seemingly) been backed up by a couple of real-world Islander pilots in the comments section. In short, I really do apologise if you feel like I “sold you a lemony but, there wasn’t any nefarious intent on my part. Personally, I quite enjoy the Islander and of course, my own preferences are not going to align with that of my audience 100% of the time. I hope that’s fair. Cheers and all the best!

[@t5sblanco]

​@IntotheBlueSimulations I gave a second watch, and I'll agree, I don't think you misrepresented it per se. But in the twin otter videos, you devoted a lot of time to demonstrating you couldn't feather the prop. Both on the ground, and in flight. In the islander video, you just said in your closing remarks that you couldn't get it to work. I think I walked off with an impression that you were more endorsing of the islander. But I will also say, I didn't buy the module due to your comments. I bought it hoping it might better on the Aerosoft product after reading quite a few comments favorable towards it contrasting with the Aerosoft Twin Otter. My impression was not matching that at all, and I then went and watched your v2 video, wondering if i was missing something. It seemed to me to be more positive than I expected upon my watching, hence my comments. But overall, I really appreciate the depth and detail in your reviews. I bought the Vulkan more or less on your review flight. And mind you, I am a Yank, so I have zero nostalgic tie to the aircraft. The only real tie for me was the Vulkan was the plane depicted as hijacked and water landed near the Bahamas in Thunderball. I do love some James Bond. Regardless, I really enjoy that module. Thank you for your thoughts and reviews!

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Ahh, well I can definitely explain why my reviews / level of enthusiasm differed between the Islander (V1) and the Twin Otter; the Islander was one of the first addons to be released for MSFS and as a result, my expectations were not nearly as high at the time (most of the early MSFS addons were a bit of a rush-job). That accounts for the feathering comments also; when the Islander released, no MSFS aircraft natively supported feathering of the prop so, whilst I was disappointed to see the behaviour (or lack thereof), it wasn’t a huge surprise. With the Twin Otter on the other hand, prop feathering was well established in the sim by the time that the aircraft released. . . The same is true of every other aspect of the two addons really; I like both the Twotter and the Islander but, I had higher expectations for the Twotter as, by the time I came to review that, the bar had been set much higher within MSFS (that’s one of the problems with review vids, they do tend to “age out” after a while). I hope that clarifies things a little further. I’m really glad you’re otherwise generally finding the content useful. What’s not to love about a delta-wing, James Bond, nuclear bomber haha!
