• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Done so far in one day btw
 
Thanks for the nice comments :)

Well I knew this one was easy :D

I noticed there isn't really a high quality freeware one for FSX.
There's payware and an fs9 one wich was modified for FSX regarding systems but never had a native FSX model.
So I started to try if I could fill this gap. I aim for a medium level of detail and native FSX graphical features like bump maps.
No promises though as it is actually not my number one priority project.

As I said I made the progress shown above in one day using Blender. There are no cut out control surfaces yet such as ailerons and rudder, nor are there any animations at this point.

Happy flying to you all,

Dave
 
Well Dave, if you need help or anything, I always check my PM ;)
 
Hello back here, :)
Sadly There isn't really something to show but I can announce the flight dynamics got to a stage where I consider them satisfying.
For some reasons I decided to do them first.
They are not perfect of course, most of the values are guessed or scaled from other aircraft and it doesn't perfectly balance,
but it is possible to land on benchmark runways such as St Barth and Lukla.
 
If you need some data sheets or information on the real Twotter let me now.
I've been part of the Aerosoft Twin Otter Extended Beta Team, did some liveries (Flybe, Skybus, Westcoastair,...) and I got some contacts over at Kenn Borek Air ;)

Thanks a lot :)

Hello back here,

I found some time again and fixed the part where the fuselage meets the vertical stabilizer. :)
I think this looks much better:

Next for improving might be the engines. ATM they don't really look like PT6's :oops:
