What's interesting with this discussion is that when the twotter first came out there were lots of negative comments but seems much more balanced now based on the above. I have the kodiak and haven't yet purchased the twotter due to the negative comments previously.

Stop wasting money and effort and just buy the Kodiak, you won't regret it.

Regarding visuals, my eyesight isn't good enough to detect quality differences apart from the square wheels😂

Which one is more realistic flight wise? Dunno, I've not flown either in RL and not likely to. 

The Kodiak is more work with the joystick and more of the instruments work. The twotter seems to fly itself so at a guess I would say it's too easy.

I fly the Kodiak mostly so that's my personal preference

Where is this?

No doubt Dad will confirm but it looks like Skiathos.

The approach looks just as lovely as Corfu, I'm buying it ASAP!

Thanks!🍻

yep, LGSK from ORBX

I bought, installed, flew and uninstalled the Twotter all within 24 hours when it came out. I'm prepared to try again when everyone can agree that the sounds are as they should be but until then my Kodiak and my Milviz Porter are both breathtakingly good enough to keep me happy. 

With the CptMoustache mod the Kodiak now flies much closer to what I would expect (Based on Missionary Bush Pilot videos) Much more drag with flaps extended and now you need right rudder trim during climb etc. I have the Porter (which also need some tweaking I think) but I decided not to splash out on the twin Otter yet.

Aside from having wings and a propeller (and both using the ubiquitous PC6 like nearly everything else)  there seems little in common between these two planes.

Even their intended purpose is different.  One is a steam gauge 20 passenger commercial twin built for regional airline use and usually (but not always) flown with a crew of two for regular flights to airfields in remote locations and the other is a (generally)  single pilot 10 passenger bush plane specifically designed and built for missionary work on rugged poorly maintained bush strips.

In some ways it is a bit of an odd comparison.

I am a natural customer for the Twin Otter but I am holding off on purchasing until the sounds are sorted. I have the Milviz Porter and Kodiak - the Twin Otter doesn't sound up to the quality of these two currently.

Fess up - both are great.  The Otter floats make up for everything except the engine sounds will destroy your brain.

Does anyone know of either of these add on planes are going to be updated when SU8 adds new prop physics and drag?

I would imagine that the Kodiak would, but I wouldn't count on Aerosoft doing the same thing.
