VFR Reviews - Aerosoft’s DHC-6 Twin Otter X

I love this DHC-6. I too grew up with these planes. There used to be an outfit called “Executive Airlines” up in the Northeast. They flew in and out of Augusta State Airport (KAUG) all the time. I got to ride in them many times while flying to and from my hometown on leave. Haven’t seen a real one in some time. Can’t say how out of wack the sound is on this model, but 1), I thought it was fine, and 2), sound files are easily removed and replaced with ones you like better. I actually like the sound set for the Eric Dantes DHC-6 a bit better than this one. If I get so inclined I’ll swap ‘em. In all other respects, this Twin Otter is great. I just wish somebody would properly duplicate the awesome sound of these planes (and all turbo-props) as they go into “beta” while taxiing. “Whine, whine, whine, whine, … grrrrrooooowwwwlllll … whine, whine, whine.” Love that! :d

I also changed the sound........to me the sound is very important, both inside and out, luckily there are many to choose from out there.:kilroy:

Ian P- your review totally pwned mine :p

As for everyone else, I thank them for the compliments, and that no matter what others say regarding the aircraft, I only write what I know, so if it really is one of those subjective things on sounds and stuff like that, then there's nothing I can really do about it.
