Virtualcol Otter X _ July 17th

I bought it. Cost me 7 bucks and some change..

Not sure which I tested but it barely got off the ground. I even hit some trees..

Gonna have to investigate more..
 
I have noticed the turbo prop variant is painfully under powered and needs alot more elevator authority, especially the float variant as it took me about 4-5 miles to get it airborne full bore.
 
An update has been released by Virtual Col for the Otter series over at their websites "Updates Zone" - not sure what's changed though!
 
Otter update.

I installed the otter update. When I try to fly the turbine float plane it flips over onto its back as soon as it loads. Great improvement. I've already complained to Virtualcol. I am looking forward to FSAddon 's otter. Wish I had known about it before I bought this.
 
@ Lane Street:
Thank you for your correction concerning the flashing landing lights!
My fault in this case.

Sorry my friend but in my opinion this isn't a nice attitude.
All products have some initial flaws and they're ironed out after release taking advantage of our observations...

Maybe it's not 'nice', but I'd like to reserve the right to consider a rip off as such, even when it's a low price rip off.
In my about 14 years of flightsimming, I've encountered some 'initial flaws' and learned to rectify or live with them - but this release just soaks with developer's disinclination!

For what it's worth: we're building one too......

Teasing out this amazing news was worth my mispurchase!
The crippled Otter was erased from my hangar in this moment.
Very much looking forward for your release!

Cheers,
Markus.
 
There's constructive criticism Bill, and there's downright insults... not all developers have the same experience as others, some have less... but you know what? This isn't that bad with a few tweaks and fixes, and as we had NOTHING before, it was a pleasant surprise.

The recent update fixed a number of bugs, quite well... honestly, considering the developer posted in this topic, your replies were downright insulting and rude... beyond criticism.


Everyone starts somewhere, everyone improves, frankly, for a functional otter $12 was pittance... I'm happy to support the developer and encourage further development and advancements with future releases.

Don't like it? fine, but sitting there and finger painting with your fecal matter over the product and developer is a little much.
 
Some developers seem to have a deserved reputation for less than stellar products. The answer is not to grouse about their products, but to just steer clear of such developers. An add-on you don't use isn't a bargain no matter what price you paid.
 
I agree with what has been said here about NOT insulting the developers. The product may not be up to A2A or PMDG standards, but with some tweaks to the flight dynamics it is fun to fly. Anyone who wants to run down someone else's work should try doing it themselves before opening their yap. For 12.50 american I can live with having to do a few tweaks here and there!
 
Anyone wanna take a stab at why I might be getting this error message when I try to run the update? I've tried it with UAC turned on and turned off, it makes no difference.

100% agree...
 
I've sent a request for help to the developer. No one here seems to know what this could be. Also consider that I had just installed the Otter about 30 minutes before I tried the update. One works and the other doesn't? Apparently it's only me, otherwise someone else would have mentioned it here. . .either that or I'm the only one who bought the airplane and I don't think that's the case.
 
Falcon. I bought it too Install went without a hitch and so did the update?

Did you shut down your AV to install ?
