    Hi guys,

    I do have deep love for the DHC-3 Turbo Otter ...

    Any of your guys heard about a respectable aircraft designer for FS2020 that is working on that aircraft? That thing is the dream of bush flyers.

    I dream of flysimware or milviz heading for that model to a study level ...

    mmm interesting.

    Does the autopilot code for the altitude links to the GPS code?

    I personally never add issues with the autopilot with the free version of the GTN 750.

    But I am considering buying the full release, so I wish I will not stumble on this since I tend to use the autopilot for long hours while crossing long distance while playing OnAir manager.

    I had many issues with the autopilot over older beta release of the 414. But it is now extremely stable and efficient in the official release.

    I basically removed a heap of aircraft from the Neofly database and added quite a few missing Payware ones and created a "Golden Age" 1930's through to 1960's career set in new Zealand, starting with just a Stearman and progressing up through various historic aircraft I own including the Staggerwing, Globe Swift,  c140, c170, Twin Beech, Boeing 247D, JU52 and Grumman Widgeon and Goose,  eventually working towards the DC6 and Super Constellation. 

    Good way to enjoy the game. I do love older props aircraft myself. I am quite good learning smaller prop aircrafts but I have to say that the DC-6 is a complete another story. That monster will keep me a while to get a full hang of it.

    I bought the DC-6 to carry on bigger cargo mission in OnAir (which need to be flown by the player) and to my surprise, the learning curve is way steeper than I thought. But I do love every minutes of it.

    I think NeoFly4 is what I will use going forward. They need to implement a bunch of stuff yet before it releases, but I like it’s bush mission focus, and it has identified landing strips around me that I didn’t even know existed so it should be fantastic for exploring some more remote regions. It also has a nice feature where a dispatcher communicates with you before and after your mission to confirm you’re good to go and you’ve completed it. It has way more mission variety than I will ever use, but that’s fine. I think in my area it had something like 300 potential missions - a couple dozen from each strip in the area. It also looks like he’s implementing some kind of goods exchange… buy Bananas at one location and sell them at another. Stuff like that I won’t use. I will stick to humanitarian, cargo, VIP, passenger and sight seeing missions. 

    Thanks to everyone that shared some advice! Much appreciated. 

    You cannot get wrong with Neofly. As I said I fly OnAir Manager, but the reason is that I started to look for a career system while Neofly 4 was in BETA and a bit in a "inter-release" chaotic state. But I did like where they were going. I will give it another try really soon.

    Hi guys,

    like many of you, I fell in love with Flysimware Cessna 414. The attention to details is out of this world and I personally think that this product is top shelf stuff.

    I was wondering, any of you guys heard about what will be their next project? I hunted around their discord server and even asked the question there ...but got no answer on this.

    Is it known information at this point?

    After trying most of these add-ons I've stayed with Onair, yes it has a subscription but for me it's by far the most complete right now.

    I do fly OnAir Manager as well. I do like this game because you do not even need to link it to MSFS 2020. This is a stand alone virtual airline manager, but you can chose to manually fly some flight (wih MSFS, P3D or XPlane) for more virtual money or experience points. I do like that aspect since I can quickly have a 15 mins playing session without even having to start MSFS 2020.

    Every  morning, I look at my virtual airline status in OnAir manager while sipping my coffee and provide my orders for the day. And sometime at night, I simply chose to do a flight by myself on a lucrative medical transport job with the Cessna 414.

    You have that the wrong way round, its ground speed that is affected by wind not airspeed

    Actually this is what I meant. I think the OP could think that the airspeed showed is too low, while in fact his ground speed is fast.

    From KNAviation

    Wind speed vs ground speed

    Wind’s Effect on Ground Speed

    The relationship between airspeed and ground speed is fairly simple. Ground speed is simply the sum of airspeed and wind speed.

    If the aircraft is flying in the same direction as the wind is blowing, the aircraft experiences tailwind, and its ground speed is higher than its airspeed. On the other hand, if the wind is blowing against the direction the aircraft is traveling in, the aircraft experiences headwind, and its ground speed is lower than its airspeed.

    In SU9 the FT+ sound pack worked fine with the T Otter and help make it bearable. (Why wasn't this banned by Aerosoft?). But you had to put the Twotter in the Official folder to get it to work. With SU10 the plane no longer shows with the files in the Official folder and they have to go in the Community folder so I doubt the sound pack will work? I've yet to try it.

    Good to know! What is the sound files you are talking about?

    I would ditch the TWotter and go for a real plane like the FSW Cessna 414 AW.

    LOL!! Ironically the Flightsimware Cessna 414 is my main aircraft in FS2020. I mainly only use that plane in OnAir Manager. However, from time to time, I need to get the Twin Otter for some payload reason.

    I wish Flightsimware or Milviz would do the twin otter and show aerosoft how a successful aircraft is made.

    Hi guys,

    I do fly the Aerosoft Twin Otter from time to time in FS2020. I am in LOVE with that aircraft in real life, but yeah ... was quite disappointed with their version. Anyway, I do still fly it from time to time to complete some OnAir Manager missions.

    I cannot stand the 530 GPS and would like to use freeware GTN 750 instead. Anyone in here stumbled on a mod to do that GPS switch? 

    This is the GPS I am talking about ...

    Thanks

    Seriously, not sure if the Flysimware Cessna 414 comes with a hidden shot of opioid, but this aircraft is SO addictive. For more, the staff on their discord channel are super responsive. I seen update being released a day after someone complained about a bug.

    This is my main aircraft in my OnAir Manager career. I love everything about it.

    The app has it's own cache as well. I'm wondering if it's better to use the sim cache or the app cache. At the moment I'm using both just to experiment but that's probably not a great idea. I've put the app cache on a ramdisk while I experiment.

    I think it might be a good idea to use some sort of caching. I used to use an app called tileproxy in FSX which did the same thing. Unfortunately the developer was contacted by a certain company that supplies map data and told to cease and desist with his efforts. What I'm trying to say is that the more we hammer this map data provider the more likely it could be that they pull the plug. Caching the data might help us "fly under the radar".

    You have a good point here with the Google server that could decide to pull the plug if the apps abuse this. Now about the cache, both runs well for me. I did not see any difference between using the MSFS one vs the mod one.

    My second go at this with a newer version than the last one I tried. I'm quite liking the look of the scenery in the few places I've tried so far using the default map server. Colours look more natural than the default scenery.

    Trying to figure out what the best way to do the caching is now. The options menu in the program indicates you can have rolling cache on so long as you don't switch tile providers around.

    I use the MSFS Rolling cache without any issue. The idea is to DELETE the cache (from the MSFS->Option->Data) when you switch the texture provider. To ne honest I am not even sure that I need the cache since I have an unlimited gigabit link.

    I did a LOT of flying with the mod ...with and without it. i would say over 100 hours in so far.

    My conclusion is the following: 

    It all depends where you do fly as far as texture goes. For example, I do use the mod when flying in the USA / Canada ... it is SUPER sharp and looks awesome. However, when flying in east Russia, the BING one are superior.

    So briefly, depending where I do intend to fly, I start the mod or not. Again, the idea is to clear the cache in MSFS when switching from Bing to Google (or the other way around).

    Also, make sure you are using the version 5.0.7 (today is June 17 and it is the latest release), which is named "Main File". Do not download the old "stable" one from February.
