Introduction

The Twin Otter Extended is a follow up project on the previous Twin Otter projects we did. The reason we do so many Twin Otters is simple, we love the aircraft and we feel it should always be in our hangars made to the current State-Of-The-Art.

Like other aircraft Aerosoft has done internally, it is one of those aircraft that just seems to keep on flying because nobody has ever made an aircraft that does the same tasks with the same flair and reliability. If you are not a fan of aviation you might not like to be a passenger as the aircraft is small, unpressurized and above all, noisy. The turbines have a high whine that really gets on your nerves. But it’s the capabilities that set the Twin Otter apart. Just type in “Twin Otter” on YouTube and you will find some amazing landings and take-offs. When there is some wind the Twin Otter seems to jump into the air as soon the wheels start to turn and a runway seems optional. It flies with skis, floats and wheels and some weird combination of them. In the end the Twin Otter is the ONLY aircraft that British Airways can use for the only scheduled daily route to a beach (Glasgow to Isle of Barra, Scottish Outer Hebrides). In 2013 that is nothing short of amazing.

The Manuals

There are 4 separate documents that make up the manual. Do note that we speak of FSX only, but all will apply for P3D as well.

•Vol 1_ In FSX.pdf: You are reading it now. Contains information on using the aircraft in FSX and more general information.

•Vol 2 _ Systems.pdf: Contains an in-detail description of all systems.

•Vol 3 _ Checklist.pdf: Full checklist for use in the cockpit.

•Vol 4 _ Data.pdf: Data and tables you need.

Also note that the readme.txt always contains the information on the latest updates. Before contacting support do make sure you installed the latest version!

We feel strongly about support. Buying one of our products gives you the right to waste our time with questions you feel might be silly. They are not.

Installation and Removal

Installation is simple-- start the .exe file you downloaded and follow the instructions on screen. Make sure FSX (P3D) is closed and we do advise you to reboot your system before installing. After installing it can help to defragment your hard disk (unless it is a SSD drive that should not be defragmented)

Removal should never be done manually but by only using the software removal applet you will find in the Windows Control panel.
