Aerosoft TWIN OTTER Tutorials - Episode 1 - Start Up Basics [Microsoft Flight Simulator] 

Appreciate all the info 💪

You're most welcome! Hope you're enjoying the Twotter!

Enjoy! Hope you have tons of fun in the twin otter and enjoy the video miniseries here! Don't forget the checklist summarised on britishavgeek.com/twin-otter-1

Awesome! Great to hear the checklist has come in good use too! 🙂

You're welcome! Hope it's come in handy. Check out britishavgeek.com and the twin otter tutorial page on the site for a one-page summarised checklist if it's something useful for you 🙂

Amazing! Need to fly it around there myself then by the sounds of it. Looking forward to plenty of liveries

Great to hear :) hope you find it useful!

You're welcome 🙂

Awesome! Thanks

Enjoy! Hoping to get a channels Osprey Regional livery generated for it too soon!

🤣

Welcome onboard! Thanks for subscribing 🙂 where have you been flying the twin otter today?

@@BritishAvgeek As a good Scotsman I am flying the Loganair routes - Glasgow or Barra today

@@coolcol06 ah yes the blue flag paint I hope too!

Amazing! Hope you're enjoying it so far, glad to hear the tutorial has been useful. If you want a little checklist pdf too I've made one on britishavgeek.com in the twin otter tutorials page 🙂

Fantastic thankyou, and I really appreciate dropping a generous donation too - it all helps support the channel 🙂 great to hear you enjoyed the series and the quick checklist too! I've updated the description to mention LGSK for Skiathos too for this and I'll bear it in mind for future videos 🙂

@@BritishAvgeek 14K subs??? Let's all work to get this channel to a modest first goal of 50K. Also, thanks for the airport codes

@@Sebastopolmark it's a very long way away - I'd absolutely love to hit 50k though! 🙂

I haven't got the Kodiak myself but really enjoy the twin otter. Enough automation with the opportunity to just turn it all off and hand fly too if you wish - really nice all rounder go-anywhere aircraft 🙂 I'm certainly no master but sharing what I've learnt from within the Aerosoft beta team which contained real twin otter pilots

This is cool!! What’s your home town? Won’t stalk you haha

@@VectraVX a rural town, in Limbang Sarawak, Malaysia

@@squall0833 that’s cool! Damn you're pretty close to Brunei, sort of sandwiched between both sides of it lol

@@squall0833 Wow I'm checking out Limbang and I realised, how do you access other parts of Malaysia by road?? It looks like you have to drive through Brunei either way. What's the border crossing like if your intentions are just to pass through? Or do you primarily just take a flight if you want to access other parts of Malaysia?

@@VectraVX other than taking flight, we can go other part of Malaysia by driving thru Brunei borders, it's not far to go to Lawas, then to Sabah. And to Miri from Limbang, it usually takes 2.5-3hrs of driving, 60% 2 Lane Highway, 40% single lane roads within Brunei. There are two new roads under construction. 1. Brunei (Kuala Lurah Border) to Limbang Town (shorter route) 2. Pan Borneo Highway that connects Limbang to rest of Sarawak & Sabah without crossing Brunei (long route)

Hope you found it useful 🙂

Enjoy! It's very enjoyable to be fair in my opinion and I'm really enjoying it. I've made a one-page checklist uploaded to the twin otter tutorial page on my website if it helps too britishavgeek.com

Completely different sound set here to the 4 step engine sound junk that made it to final product.

Hope you found it useful! 🙂

Quite possible but I was following a checklist sent to me by a real twin otter pilot and I guess company SOPs will differ

FWIW I’ve sat right behind the pilots on several flights and the prop levers were always in the rear (feathered) position at startup. When it was time to taxi, the prop levers were pushed forward and were then ready for takeoff. Perhaps this is less of an issue because the PT-6A is a free turbine engine?

Try checking inside the official folders - unless Asobo encrypted it. Try Control + 2 or 3 or 4 as a preset or set your own custom view 🙂

​@@BritishAvgeekWill definitely try this, however I agree with the original poster that my mouse can't seem to take me there without screeching to a halt around the lower overhead. Yet I've seen others wheel their mouse and get there almost without effort. I seriously need to know how that is done. Thanks

You got the add-on? Where you been flying and what are your thoughts so far? 🙂

Amazing! Head to flightsim.to and have a look on there to see if it's made, or request a livery via the website too 🙂

Hi! In the overhead panel next to the taxi lights 🙂

🤣 the one time I jumped out the back of an aircraft it was the most fantastic experience of my life!

If you’ve jumped at Perris, you know they wear seatbelts.

it seems I have a specific companies SOP which is what this was based on and I've heard a few differences with startup now haha

The bleeds appear to be on by default on this bird. Please correct me if I'm wrong; it's why I don't touch them at all throughout the flight.

Glad you're enjoying it!

It has GPWS callouts but also can inhibit them. Many airlines that use them use the inhibit function

The fuel condition levers? I believe it's on/off only. You'd have to tweak your settings for mouse clicks inside the sim menu. I have my mouse wheel for zoom in/out and right click hold for freelook

@@BritishAvgeek Yes, I spoke to a pilot today, and he confirms that they are only on/off in the Twin Otter. I know how to adjust zoom by using the mousewheel, but when I rightclick, there is only one zoom, and its pretty big, getting very close to the instruments. I don’t know how to adjust the right-click zoom.

@@erikhany4486 only thing I can think of is inside the sim menu in your mouse settings - see if it is assigned to something

I've set my right mouse click to Hold on Cockpit Freelook or something similar to that

Not sure to be honest it might be down to in sim settings etc

🤣🤣 it's addictive for sure - just need an Osprey Regional livery painted for it somehow now!

Temptation is even worse now, it's downloaded and sitting on the tarmac waiting for me to set up the alpha and bravo.

Great paint scheme!

Do you have any of the MSFS AI Pilot settings on trying to control your aircraft?

@@BritishAvgeek hi. Absolutely nothing. Just got into a cold dark cockpit. Dud nothing else apart from try the master and battery and the props still engage. Only turning slowsy

Just tried again and I only need to switch the master. Not even the battery and they turn

@@stuartardern3038 do you have any of the msfs assistance settings on in the menu? Only thing I can think of

@@BritishAvgeek absolutely nothing. I've just uninstalled and downloading again. Seems strange but thanks for the help and the videos 👍

Hi! Should be in the installed package you've downloaded inside a folder named Documentation

From what I understand msfs can't handle that currently by the sounds of what I've read - they're still looking into ways to make the prop feather physically

Epic!

Cabin Heating and Deicer boots for example are powered by bleed air from what I understand so I put them on auto or on :)

@@BritishAvgeek I see, I see.

Have you checked you don't have any keybinds that clash?

@@BritishAvgeek I haven't binded any keys that I'm aware of.Just whatever is standard within the game.

@@cursecat111 do you have AI Pilot or AI Assist turned on? If so that causes a lot of issues with many aircraft so turn that off - that'd be my best guess

@@BritishAvgeek nope.None of that!

@@cursecat111 oh, then I'm out of ideas 😅

Hmm I'm really not sure - have you tried uninstalling it and re-installing it? Is it all of them or just one specific version?

@@BritishAvgeekproblem solved with a version update,tks for the help though,happy new year

Sad to hear you're not having a great experience with it. I don't use VR myself so not sure what you're describing.

It is something they are working on currently so hopefully in the near future we can enjoy some prop feathering 🙂

@@BritishAvgeek It's not a msfs problem. Milviz porter, tbm 930, Kodiak 100 all get it right.

@@williamlow1174 like I said in the comment above, Aerosoft are trying to work on it

They can, other aircraft do. This one doesn't.

...or we could keep it basic for everyone to get into it without too much jargon 😉

Sounds like you have some sort of keybind clash

I experience the exact same problem

It's got a lot of functions, options and a lot has gone into it. Imo it's priced just about right for what it is and it's great fun!

@@BritishAvgeek hopefully will be able to afford it as a birthday present

Honestly - have You seen the number of versions You get ? DHC6-100, Float, Wheel & Amphibian DHC6-300, Float, Tundra wheel, Wheel, Ski & Amphibian 13 different models. Allthough it is a bit stripped down systems / failure simulation wise compared to the FSX/P3D Twin Otter Extended, the price is very much the same as when the Twin Otter Extended was released and that is more than 8 years ago.

@@fjacobsen16 that sounds good. hopefully will be able to own it in the sim within the end of 2022.

@@fjacobsen16 and they've had to build it 99% from the ground up in MSFS too so no porting

It's something they're working on 🙂

🙌

Hi! I'll address all the points you have raised as I don't agree with them at all (you'd probably say that's expected): 1. I think it's great and I genuinely enjoy it - I also do not make adverts for developers. I get asked to do reviews by some scenery developers but if it I think something is bad I say so (just look at the constellation video I did) 2. A disclaimer filled preview. That's because I was filming it using the beta so some features may have changed with the release version. Also some of the issues are being actively worked on by Aerosoft - shouldn't we give some credit for that? They're a solid developer. 3. It's not a high fidelity aircraft like the DC6 from PMDG or the upcoming 737 from PMDG. They have aimed to capture the entire MSFS market as best as they can - it appeals to some, not so much for others 4. Again, it's not an advert. 5. "Getting free planes from Devs works well for you"... that's why it is marked as a "paid promotion" - easily confused to think I have been paid for the video but I have not. I have purchased plenty of add-ons off my own back too because I want to - I am not, and this channel is not the sort to go begging or asking for free stuff. 6. Aerosoft watermarks - it's their product isn't it? I've done it for scenery developers etc in the past before too - check some of my previous videos 7. Are you saying I don't support the community when you say "sorry but we need content that supports the community and raises standards in the sim not adverts..." ? I'd like to think I've been exceptionally supportive of the community - funnily enough with tutorials like this amongst other things. If you don't like it, there are plenty of other content creators. Viewing is always optional (as is purchasing any add-on) - and whilst I appreciate your opinion I'll simply call out comments that are out right unfair.

This is not addressed to me, but really dude? Literally nothing you say makes sense.. If you really think Britishavgeek is doing it for the devs, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Did you even check any other of his videos?

Update 1 is due out on Tuesday, which is supposed to resolve a number of issues, including the A/P. When the sound gets fixed, it truly will be a fantastic add-on. I also own the Kodak, which as everyone knows came in a more finished state. But it’s kind of boring with the glass panel and short service history. Long live the Twotter!

@@DanBlake3rd I've heard there are flight dynamics issues with the Kodiak too? Haven't got it so don't know myself but read bits around forums. Lots being put into the update from sounds to AP tweaks and more 👍

Not good! Doesn't sound like you're having a good experience at all 😐
