Just a few texture spots to localize and paint on the ARMY livery. So I will post a DL link in a couple of days.
I also have some minor adjustments to do on the UN livery. I will post a link for that one as well in a couple of days.

Already have the Virtualcol Otter and also the JF Otter and cannot see any justification spending money for another Otter. Both the ones I have fly well for me.

I too am on the fence as to which Otter to purchase. I saw the Vid on the JF Otter (who makes the JF version)? and the Milviz one. Now IMHO, Milviz puts a lot of tech features in it, and that's fine.
and I like the paints in the JF version were (I'm guessing) kick the tires light the fire and go fly.

Milviz believes in using a Addon Management System and to me I have to pause my flight sim, then open the MVMS and make configeration changes then close MVAMS and open the Flightsim. That is
one of their signature features with all their aircraft. Just my perspective.
 
Wheel Landings

We used the turbine Otter, which was a somewhat different airplane performance wise, but it still fly's like an Otter... The normal procedure was a wheel landing, which it does quite nicely, not sure if I have seen someone bounce one! It's main landing difficulty is in crosswinds, requiring a lot of the rather large rudder and often some trim. The main wheels are placed quite forward but have a wide enough track to make it relatively stable on rollout. As far as elevator trim goes, the ideal trim is such that the tailwheel will lift a small amount by itself before the plane flies off or a minor rotation is executed. Landing on glaciers a very flat landing was used and on Bush strips tail low but not three point. Tailwheels are the weakest part of the gear and one generally wants to protect if from abuse.

Thanks to the whiz kids for replicating the rather unusual powered tailwheel!

Swedish or Scandinavian DHC-3:s?

Hi! I would like a swedish one for all configs. Why not a paint where you, like the default Cessna, you can type your own reg code like SE-XXX.I do like the one from Wideroe, maybe once piloted by Turi Wideroe in her younger days.I have on trouble: I have a struggle to make the Milviz AP lock on a selected route, course or altitude. Where is the button for changing selection when inserting a gps landing procedure?
