Hi
According to the Aerosoft forum, a great news for afficionados like us of the DHC-6 TwinOtter : It looks like they are about to deliver their first addons on FS2020 including the Twin !
BTW I hope you are all fine
Stay Safe Philippe

Hi,
I regularly check on the aerosoft forum crossing fingers... but nothing by now.
I understood the FS2020 SDK is not yet fully finished and available for developers. it probaly blocks the aircrafts upgrades.
Bye

Ahhhh yes !!! a real step forward seeing the first FS2020 dedicated TwinOtter in the hangar It is comming... a good things for us twotter fanatics !! We will see how to interface it from our cabins with from the sim. I do not know how FS is now dealing with addons. I read "LVar and offsets" are no more in the normality. We will see. A very good news to imagine flying the DHC-6 with the great sceneries we have now in FS ! You made my day !! |

As I hear it, there are beta versions out for FSUIPC, LINDA and Air Manager, so I think it is safe to expect we will be able to interface pretty much as we do now. (Of course I haven't tried any of those things yet ) |

Hey ! It is Christmas.
Our favorite bird is now available for purchase after this long time of wait !
My question is : from where should I order for best support ? aerosoft and installed after the purchase & download or directly from the MSFS shop ?
I am quite sure it is same binaries, no problem on that point ; Just to know if it is a better track to be listed as customer from the editor itself...
I'll aerosoft themselves as a recognition of their work, right ?
Bye

Mathijs says there is no difference on where you purchase, although they get more of the money if you buy it from them. I have it for free at the moment as I somehow got on the beta late in the day. If I bought it (I will if the beta expires) I will probably just buy it within MSFS, don't see why not. It's also available on ORBX Central if you have that. Not sure yet how much I'll fly this. I would like to do a good review. There's a lot of negative comments around, but most of this is stuff we knew was coming, like default AP behaviour and so on. I like the bird, it flies better than in P3D and especially taxis MUCH better. Very few systems are modelled and many of the switches do nothing. Time will tell. |

Yes it is same binaries. I did my purchase from the editor as an encouragement let's say. But I got difficulties to install thru their new global installer called "aerosoft air one" ; it is like ORbx Central or the included shop in MSFS. It should be convenient but I got problem with 'Symlinking'... it took 3 hours to install because of this troubleshooting to do. BTW I never got any problem using the Orbx Central.. I'll start reading their new user manual and it is well explained. Have nice flight with |

I hope they will upgrade our favorite DHC-6-300 one too !!
