DHC-6 Twin Otter



As some of you can probably tell, a lot of it is ported over from FlightGear. All mod assets are either under Creative Commons license or public domain, and a copy of the licenses and credits is included in the mod doc folder.



This mod includes a (horribly bad) EFM so you can land and take off from almost anywhere. If the nose wheel gets "stuck in the mud" you can get it out by going full power and rocking the wheel left and right.



One of the first features of the EFM you will notice is reverse thrust, so you can make extra short landings or reverse on the taxiway. 0% thrust is at 50% throttle, so keep your throttle centered on the ground if you don't want to reverse. Also avoid using reverse thrust in the air.



The mod also includes an extremely rudimentary damage model, so the Twin Otter can be shot down by other airplanes, but there is no visual damage (other than fire).



I don't recommend cold ramp start because the canopy close command is currently broken. The EFM also does not include startup/shutdown (but weapon damage can reduce the thrust of the engines). Lights don't work on the player aircraft so stick to day ops only. Fuel drain is sort of modeled (and drains too quickly) but nothing happens when you run out other than a couple caution lamps coming on. Also, nothing is clickable.



Basically the only thing you need to worry about is throttle, rudders, ailerons, elevator, and flaps.



Don't expect much, but have fun.

More things are wrong than right with this, and one of the updates broke a couple things since the last time I worked on it, but I figured some people might enjoy it anyway. I wanted to get this a little more complete before releasing it, but I don't have a lot of time to work on it.As some of you can probably tell, a lot of it is ported over from FlightGear.
