Basler BT-67 FSX (freeware 5th July)

For sounds I'm using the "dehavilland_dhc6_twin_otter_the_real_deal.zip" by Christoffer Petersen, found at Avsim.com. Nice sounds, slightly 'heavier' than the MS default sounds.

And while everybody seems to like the cold, I found one in a slightly warmer climate:

Thank you Daniel for this wonderful airplane. My grandfather was a C-47 pilot so this is a special bird.:icon29::salute:

I did something similar.
I have the Aerosoft Twotter.
For a quick fix, I just used the sound.cfg file from the 'Aerosoft Twin Otter 300 modern' folder.
It's already aliased to the main sound folder for the Aerosoft Twin Otter.
Simple cut and paste.
 
Thanks Daniel, just wanted to post this as well.

Many thanks for comments and pics, everybody!

awesome work guys, brilliant! Just tried her out and love her :) Question; where can I get my mitts on blank textures or a paint kit? I'm itching to do some painting!
 
If this has been reported elsewhere, my apologies, I don't go to many other forums.

This is a very minor issue that doesn't bother me in the least.
Just thought I would pass the bug on.

Noticed last night that when I turned on the panel lights, the graphics for the fuel transfer panel got a little 'wonky'.
All of the links lit up and covered over some of the buttons and switches, as in the pic below.

Another alternative soundset is the TSS KingAir sounds for FS9, works very well and is what I use on my default King Air 350 in FSX:wiggle:
 
A really great aircraft, I must say! Thank you all on the team!
One thing, is it on purpose that the gunship lacks the guns?

Cheers,

Seawing
 
Thanks again, wonky texture had a blocking layer missing, now corrected and in bugfix file, see link in post #86.

Yes, no guns on this gunship :( or should it be :)
 
Somehow missed this one and just spent 2.0hrs in it, beyond amazing job and I can't believe this is FSX native and FREE!

Might have to add a CS weapons pack to the gunship, love the paint.
 
Thanks for the update! Which BT-67 was used as a "source" of cockpit configuration? I'm curious about the non-standard HSI and VSI placement ;)

We had one day access to C-GAWI, and came back with 500+ pictures. CGAWI's panel is plastered over with gauges, ours is a rough approximation, as are other parts, too (overhead). We'll be happy to consider update options, have a sizeable list already, this'll be one of them...
 
A really good product here, but, I can't believe a real world airplane had an instrument panel in that configuration. First, having the bendix/king radios and the Garmins is a lot of redundancy. Using the panel for IFR operations in this configuration is a bit challenging. The HSI should be below the ADI, the VSI below the altimeter, the turn and bank below the ASI and replace the #2 glideslope indicator with the radio altimeter. I really have to question why the need for a suction gauge with those PT-6's providing all the power you need to run all the avionics you need. You don't see King Airs with suction gauges. If you have DME indicated above the ADI and on the Garmin, why the need for another DME in the radio stack? An addition of an altitude alerter would be nice. Again I would like to stress that this is a really good model, better than most payware and this criticism is meant to be constructive in nature. I have a lot of real world experience with this sort of stuff and would be glad to help with any changes. EDIT: Just had a quick look at C-GAWI's instrument panel on airliners.net and that is a really good looking panel more in line with what you would expect in an aircraft.
 
haven't had a chance to fire this up yet...

Is C-FTGX included in the pack? If not maybe one of our repaint artist's will consider taking it on as a project? It's been a regular sight over Ireland in recent years ...doing geo-surveys at low level (~200ft).

Hello guys,

first of all let me say that I was really looking forward to this plane! :) I think it's a great addition to our virtual hangars. However, I think that the rudder could be a little more effective. When flying turns, the turn coordinator shows that more and more rudder input is needed the longer the turn lasts. That is not realistic. Second, if you try a side-slip, the rudder becomes less effective the more time passes by. Not realistic either. Would be great to have this fixed in a future update or something :)

Best regards,
Markus
