January 21, 20224 yr Can anyone tell me what their impression is of the plane's water handling? For instance, how does it compare to the C172? Does it skip like a rock when you try and put it down? https://www.mediafire.com/view/dz3buh31pti9cej/BoeingDriverSignature.jpg/file

I’d like to know as well, but according to Aerosoft it’s vastly more complex than anything out there. So can I assume temperature affects the viscosity of the hydraulic fluid and fuel?

Does it skip like a rock when you try and put it down? I've only done one water landing but it felt like it settled into the water better than the C172. I couldn't figure out how to taxi it though without water rudders using differential thrust only...

Does it skip like a rock when you try and put it down? It doesn't feel like 172 for sure to me. It does have heavy feel, also noticeable thrust . Basically I have never from DHC-6 IRL but it sort of behave how I would expected.

By your standards facts we are taught at school are not facts then! A fact is a fact until proven otherwise. Get out of the "My Truth" game its a fantasy! Other devs? Like the DC6 which had to be pulled, probably for this reason! Why would he say that, it is such a damming thing to say! The planes on the market place are all trash mostly, and many are not on the XBOX Market place! I agree it is hard to believe, but my oh my he could of said something else! This is the direction they want to go, Easy to please, loads of hype, and causals who dont know what's what mostly. Less work, more profit, more hype..OMG this is the most detailed plane ever and all that, Dev updates full of promise! Well Said!!!! Chris Camp

I can assure you that this is the case with the Twin Otter and much work has already been completed on sounds and other identified anomalies. This thing is already a beauty to fly and will be improved upon in the near future. It is my primary plane to explore the world with and will only get better. You are missing out IMHO. I will reconsider it. Its just that I have bought a few payware and a few were too pricey. I really enjoyed the Twin Otter for XP11 back in the day. Loved it. I do already have the Kodiak 100 so I might just hold off for a bit and get it later. 7800+4090+64ram Just Flight RJ, 146 and F28, Piper Arrows ---A2A Aerostar and Comanche---Black Square Starship, Duke(s), TBM, Bonanza/BaronV2, KingAir---FSReborn FSR500---COWS Da42---FX P180, HJet & VJet---FlySimWare Chancellor and LearJet---FlightSimStudio EMB175 &P2006T---Fenix 320---PMDG DC6, 737(700+900), 777---C22J---Milviz Cessna 310 & Porter---SimWorksStudios Kodiak, PC12, Zenith & RV14---BigRadials Goose---IndiaFoxEcho MB3339+F35.
January 22, 20224 yr On second thought...I might wait a month or two so some things can get hashed out. The Kodiak, Carenado Seneca, DC6, JF Arrow, Zenith STOL, CRJ....freeware mods etc will keep me happy. It seems to be a mix of the developer (not all the time) and Asobo/MS that make it difficult. We should all realize that even though we love flight sim......our mothers would tell us, "Honey, its just a game! Calm down!" The Kodiak has several configurations like the Zenith STOL so I might hold for a long bit. These are both excellent aircraft. Props!.....TwinProps, actually! to Aerosoft for another cool bird to fly. 😅 Edited January 22, 20224 yr by Sonosusto 7800+4090+64ram Just Flight RJ, 146 and F28, Piper Arrows ---A2A Aerostar and Comanche---Black Square Starship, Duke(s), TBM, Bonanza/BaronV2, KingAir---FSReborn FSR500---COWS Da42---FX P180, HJet & VJet---FlySimWare Chancellor and LearJet---FlightSimStudio EMB175 &P2006T---Fenix 320---PMDG DC6, 737(700+900), 777---C22J---Milviz Cessna 310 & Porter---SimWorksStudios Kodiak, PC12, Zenith & RV14---BigRadials Goose---IndiaFoxEcho MB3339+F35.

Ah that’s the sound mod some talented fellow did and showed over at the AS forum.

Captain Moustache's mods are very good in general. It is shameful for Aerosoft to release such an iconic bird in a state like this - it doesn't do it justice. And their response on the forums is even worse, but no more than I expect from Mathijs Kok. Even Carenado could do a better job that this. It seems like it is at the level of a VirtualCol product. (No criticism of VirtualCol, as they make it clear they are not about producing premium products). They need to redo the sounds from scratch also. It isn't just the transitions, the base sounds are very poor, so even when transitions are smooth it still won't sound good - the great FSX sounds in the video posted earlier demonstrate how far away they are. I am not sure what has happened to Aerosoft. I had their Airbus A318-A321 pack for FSX and loved it. It was especially good in the sound department.

I don't think anything has happened to Aerosoft, I think they just haven't changed and the advances made in MSFS have caught them out and left them behind. This would have been a great addon in FSX, albeit with a sound mod but its just not up to scratch for MSFS. Maybe a change of leadership is due.
