Aerosoft TWIN OTTER Tutorials - Episode 2 - Taxi, Take Off and Climb [Microsoft Flight Simulator]

[@booster524]

Thanks for another useful video. Spent a couple of hours fiddling and pottering about and I'm really enjoying this aeroplane. Not sure why everyone is complaining about the sound...maybe I'm blessed with old man's hearing!

[@BritishAvgeek]

There's a few issues with sound that Aerosoft are working on like some of the looping that can be heard but it's all in progress and an update is due in future to address what they can. Great to hear you're enjoying it a lot!

[@robertgarland9342]

I need to get back in MS Flight sim again. Last time I played it what when Flight Sim X came out. The graphics and the way it works looks so much better now. Not to mention the twin Otter is my Fav twin turbo prop.

[@yams900]

Well done mate, always enjoy watching your work.

[@BritishAvgeek]

Great to hear thanks! 🙌🙂

[@simonforrister3820]

Bought mine this evening primarily for the UK flying, but also for the Maldives island hopping (via the floats, obviously). Have also quite fancied a St Barts Challenge in this. Your videos are going to come in very handy, thank you. Any Airbus Stick & Throttle settings to recommend?

[@BritishAvgeek]

Fantastic! Hope you're enjoying it... Recommendations wise I don't have the airbus stick so don't know.

[@yams900]

Have to practice, group flight tonight. Don't feel comfortable at all. No wonder, I've been flying CRJ550 a lot, like 50 flight hours in 2 weeks !

[@BritishAvgeek]

Nice! The CRJ700 is the exact same airframe basically so be sure to enjoy that too :)

[@yams900]

@@BritishAvgeek I’ve got all 4 models mate :) After finishing the European Tour (2 legs left) I’ll model and/or aircraft. PS finally worked out how to turn on TCAS :) Got message for ages on the screen, TCAS off. Also, need to practice holds and Go Arounds. One more thing, CRJ can’t automatically follow VOR DME ARC ? Something else to work on. Maybe bit of Twotter and Kodiak 100 soon

[@douglasrobinson7857]

Thanks very much for the information and your time. Does the Twin Otter take time to trim after take off?

[@BritishAvgeek]

Not too much - if you have a keybind on a yoke you can hold it and easily trim it up or down

[@douglasrobinson7857]

@@BritishAvgeek Thanks very much for your time and getting back to me. I have a key bound to the top hat on my HOTAS 4, however when I go to the chase camera before take off the the trim indicates down by a large amount?

[@longjonsilvers802]

Bought mine this afternoon but how do we get access to the manual or reading material provided?

[@BritishAvgeek]

It's inside the installed folders 🙂 check out a summarised one-page checklist I've made on my website britishavgeek.com and hopefully that's of use 🙂

[@alheeley]

Very nice walkthroughs. When to use autofeather and yaw damp?

[@BritishAvgeek]

If you're going to turn Autopilot on you will need yaw damper on beforehand. Autofeather is there as a protection should the engine fail - it'll automatically feature the props to reduce drag on that propeller

[@19th-s5v]

What is the crz.spd of DHC6 ?

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@19th-s5v about 150kts

[@monibstar]

Really nice aircraft

[@BritishAvgeek]

sure is! hope you enjoyed the tutorials! :)

[@monibstar]

@@BritishAvgeek yes i am trying to figure out how to start n switch off the engines on the Twin Otter in X plane 11 however :)

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@monibstar ah still works I hope!

[@monibstar]

@@BritishAvgeek yup it works thanks!

[@StevenKelley]

What controls or any aftermarket mods do you use to make yourself walk into the back of the aircraft so smoothly?

[@BritishAvgeek]

Just right mouse click to "free look" and then my keyboard arrows to move about with the "translate view" options

[@braddelamotte2374]

Great videos buddy

[@BritishAvgeek]

Great to hear 🙂 hope you enjoy the 3 episodes - don't forget the little one page checklist I summarised at britishavgeek.com/twin-otter-1

[@braddelamotte2374]

@@BritishAvgeek yup I'll look at that. Going to use the Twin for PNG Bush Flights.

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@braddelamotte2374 sounds like a fantastic place to explore with the go-anywhere prop!

[@braddelamotte2374]

@@BritishAvgeek yup I lived in PNG as a kid in the 70s and remembered them then.

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@braddelamotte2374 nice! Great to relive that then 🙌

[@tomslittlecorner]

my twin otter is dragging to the left all the time when taxing on the ground, is that normal?

[@BritishAvgeek]

Check your Deadzones perhaps? Mine doesn't drag left all the time from what I've noticed

[@tomslittlecorner]

@@BritishAvgeek It only happens when taxing. I have to correct the trim to the right all the time.What difficult should i set on this plane? I usual has everything on hard.

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@tomslittlecorner the hard setting should be fine :) could it be something like brakes sticking?

[@longjonsilvers802]

@@tomslittlecorner The drag to the left is caused by the torque rotation on the propellers. Next to the captains seat by your right leg there are trim settings for elevator and rudder. Align the white bars together, that should solve the problem.

[@bviflyboy]

I bought this addon this morning and was totally disappointed with the sounds.

[@BritishAvgeek]

What's wrong with the sounds? Real twin otter pilots have helped develop them

[@WhiteHawk77]

@@BritishAvgeek so, that doesn’t mean they are implemented correctly. There’s lots of complaints I’ve seen about the sounds with this and Aerosoft have stated they are working on it so are aware of the issues.

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@WhiteHawk77 they're aware of a few looping issues but I don't think the sounds are terrible/bad

[@cessna18284]

@@BritishAvgeek i think the real problems with the sounds is the crossfade from idle rpm to takeoff rpm. No smooth transition.

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@cessna18284 👍 they're working on something which will be in a testing version over the next few days/week and once approved it'll be released as an update.

[@mizzyroro]

To me it takes a lot of power to get it moving.

[@BritishAvgeek]

On any surface and any load? It taxis almost above idle for me

[@tomaszkarwik6357]

Hello another twotter tutorial

[@BritishAvgeek]

🙌 hope you enjoyed it. Great addon

[@kantalarski]

You switch off landing lights above 10000ft.

[@BritishAvgeek]

Depends on the procedures of the operator using it. A pilot I spoke to told me his operator turns them off earlier to save the bulbs. This is only a tutorial to get the majority up and down confidently - the smaller things can be picked up dependant on what each person wants from the add-on 🙂

[@Silv3rSurf3r]

pls increase the bitrate of your videos...your content is awesome, but it´s really hard to watch -.-

[@BritishAvgeek]

Check your own settings within KZbin as it's likely in a data saver mode... It's absolutely fine on my end when I watch it back

[@Silv3rSurf3r]

@@BritishAvgeek no it´s not as I´m watching on pc xD when you pan in the cockpit and then you don´t move it even takes a second to get sharp, I´m doing filmmaking so I know what I´am talking about ;) try 18mbit on export or 24 upscaling it to 4k. Just a friendly hint, because I enjoy your content very much :)

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@Silv3rSurf3r I'll be sure to take a look at it 👍

[@mdmarkdaniel46]

Why are the sounds so terrible? Geez. What a disappointment again for such a beautiful aircraft.

[@bviflyboy]

I totally agree, sounds are a vital part of any aircraft addon for me.

[@BritishAvgeek]

Real twin otter pilots have helped create it - personally I thought they're quite good

[@mdmarkdaniel46]

@@BritishAvgeek The sounds recordings are good yes, but the way they are implemented for a Payware aircraft in 2022 in a new simulator is really garbage. Aerosoft needs to get it together.

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@mdmarkdaniel46 they're working on it - the last 2-3 days they've made 4 updates to the internal version which is in testing 🙂
