July 10, 201312 yr Thank you FInn :smile: ....... I just headed over to Simmarket and saw that it's actually already for sale there too....... and the offer is on there too (happy days!!). Off to buy it. Finn, could you or anyone else confirm whether the "IAS Hold" autopilot mode works properly (adjusting pitch) or whether it's just a "pseudo autothrottle" type ?
July 10, 201312 yr Just picked this up last night. So far I'm loving it, great performance, and really well put together. Not a big fan of my lighting switch panel being up at that awkward angle, almost rip my head off with trackir... Bravo Aerosoft!

July 10, 201312 yr Commercial Member Very good. In fact I GAINED 0.33 of a frame! That's awesome. 5/5 frames! I'd been running with Fraps off for a long time now, but I turned it back on for a bit last night out of curiosity. I saw a very minor impact. Unlocked, where a default plane gives me a straight 60 fps (It never records any higher than 60fps), I was getting 52 fps in the new Twotter. Which, with all the detail in the plane, seems really, really good. Jim Stewart Milviz Person.
July 10, 201312 yr I bought this tonight and it is very frame rate friendly. A tiny bit heavier than the Aerosoft DR400 but much lighter than you'd expect, for the quality of the textures, etc. Sounds are awesome! It's a no brainer - because I'd bought v1 in the past, this new Twotter only cost me £21 on Simmarket (about 25 Euros) - bargain of the year for that money. b)
July 10, 201312 yr It's a nice aircraft to hand fly, solid if somewhat unremarkable systems simulation, easy on frames, even at 5760x1080. A good purchase, not upto the Q400 or J41 but i am very happy with it. Flying it around Scotland and in Nepal, Lukla needs an upgrade, it looks a little ugly now. Ian R Tyldesley
July 10, 201312 yr Commercial Member I would probably add that this about the max I need / want out of systems simulation from a plane such as this! At least it gives us the option of hitting a config option and being ready to fly, or setting it cold n' dark and letting us run through the checklist item by item. While I enjoy the latter, I don't always have the time for it! I rather thought it compared pretty well to my Q400 - a bit less depth & detail, but perhaps made up for by not having any of the quirks of the stand-alone FDE of the Q400. I forgot to add last night that I really enjoyed the sound from the cabin - It's rare that my motivation for backing off to proper throttle and prop to achieve my elev and speed isn't for keeping to the book - I actually wanted to decrease the noise level to something more comfortable. Excellently done. Jim Stewart Milviz Person.
July 10, 201312 yr It certainly isn't a no-brainer for me, as several people keep saying. It looks like a lovely airplane, but being saddled with a default based GPS is just something I know I couldn't tolerate, no matter how good the rest of the plane might be.
