Army Otter

Bummer, guys.... :blind:

Eugene works with FSDS... that means no Otter revisions for me because i work with GMax.

I would've loved a go at Eugene's Otter model but that's not going to happen now... :pop4: :wave:

That'll mean a new Otter starting in the mating season... Incubation time may take a few years... :whistle:

Hopefully another dev might be obliged. Maybe Eugene himself ( he's waiting for FSX compatible FSDS 3 )

Btw, if you like concept planes have a look at Eugene's site here :

Stratojet series doesn't look half bad !

Cheers,
Jan

:crybaby: :crybaby:

That's too bad, but thanks for trying.

Hopefully someone will take up the challenge ..... please.

Maybe after a Cessna 185 gets done ;)

Dang. :faint:

But that seperate cowling and the bigger radial doesn't look too bad at the otter's nose...
Time to get her going.

Groetjes,
Markus.
 
Now Bill.....how you say such a thing???? The OTTER will be after you..watch your six! :monkies:
 
Thanks for your warning, buddy - but one Otter in my back: no threat at all!
At least, I'm faster than stronger ones and stronger than faster ones! :rapture:
 
Javis...they are called augmentor tubes. About 6 or 8 inch inside dia. The exhaust stacks point right in the middle. They help get that hot air out of the cowling and do add some thrust. Made of stainless steel and a good crewchief keeps them polished.

Think she looks better in Army colors. Might as well do her big brother at the same time....right guys?

Sure enough, Tim, but wouldn't a complete inside and out photoreal Otter be something to have in FS... :)

Btw, we did start work on the T-6 but Aeroworx' T-6 got in the way.... only to prove later they abandonned their T-6 project... :banghead:

We shouldn't have let them scare us away so easily... our fault...:frown:

Tschüss!

Sure it would, Jan!
Even the furry one is nice.

But till then, this one won't be too bad, doesn't it?
(Of course still some glitches to be ironed over, but not too many.)

This one will be the pre-1968 RCAF livery ("Red Ensign" and the older Maple Leaf), followed by the post-1968 CAF version.

The more I fly the PZL-upgrade, the more I love that throaty AN-2 soundset...

Regards,
Markus.
 
Thanks Markus... esp. for #408 as that was the first Otter I ever rode in and flew (back in about '63). I'd have to rummage for my pics but I 'think' that closer to '68 it may have had the squadron crest just forward of the cockpit door (but easily forgiven if missed ( or I may be wrong too...)

Surely not! Eugene did a fine job on the model. I just wish that PZL engine would've needed cowlflaps... :)

The thing i can't live with anymore is the bad gauge needle update in VC's that use too many VCockpit entries ( this Otter model uses 7, that's way too much)
Biggest problem of Eugene's otherwise execellent model.

Looking good,Markus ! Were you already working on it or did this link set you up to it ? :)

I could swear i heared this sound in one of the many P-47 soundsuites....

No matter that it sounds great and seems to do a good job resembling the original PZL engine ( which, i believe, is a Russian build Wright Cyclone.... ? )

Gotta love radial sounds! And floatplanes of course :

Especially when trying to land them :

They made it. Bystanders don't even seem to care. Daily practise. :)

Hey there is a USCG paint on one of his bush aircraft. Here http://webplaza.pt.lu/~eughey/OtterNG.htm

Anyone know were i can or how i can obtain that paint of the USCG please.

Search "otterng.zip" at avsim. It's one of the seven texture sets that comes with that funky-winged Otter. (Not sure if some of the textures are compatible with the PZL or straight-wing turbo models.)

You are such a softie for red stripes on white paint! :d
 
Could use a few of the PZL or straight-wing turbo models in USCG/CCG/HMCA colors. Caribbean Region of the USCG can be hairy land wise.
 
Hi, Jan!

No shortcoming for me: :d
I still prefer a customized 2D (with one big exception you should know...), and here is the panel my Otter buzzes around with. The VC is annihilated.
This panel is welded together from parts of the original DHC-3 panel bitmap, the window framing comes from a screenie of the updated VC of the Dantès DHC-6, and so do most of the gauges made by Thierry Pujol, who did a great job on them!

Looking good,Markus ! Were you already working on it or did this link set you up to it ?

Thanks, Jan! The idea of playing with the PolOtter was born while researching repaints for the DHC-6:
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=13101

The depicted CSR-123 #9408 is preserved at the Canada Aviation Museum at Ottawa, and so I can live with the concession of lacking authenticity: I simply declare this one as a refitted museum artefact! :engel016:

... a good job resembling the original PZL engine ( which, i believe, is a Russian build Wright Cyclone.... ? )

That's true.
Last year, when Berlin-Tempelhof airport was still in use, some AN-2 grumbled around my house, and they sounded just the same...

The hardest part of this repaint job was redoing the panel lining. The original textures were way too "slick" in my eyes. The result is pure guesswork, for I was not able to find any sources on the panel's arrangement and riveting. And I learned that Coroguard is hard to depict too...

Cheers,
Markus.
 
Now that we are talking big seaplanes, how about this one. Have asked a few times in the past. You could put the new Otter on hold. Love to have one....must be some great team of designers just waiting to be asked. Freeware or payware is fine with me.
