I really don't know what's causing this as the prop textures are exactly the same for both of them - have you copied the new "skiplane" prop texture into the wheeled Twin Otter folder to see if that fixes it? I can only imagine a texture file has got mixed up in your installation somewhere along the way or possibly corrupted during a download?

Hello Dominic
I have over the years tried to love the PAD Twotter, but I guess we were never meant to be friends. I have found this aircraft to be very hard to control manually and particularly hard to land (and I am by no means a novice simmer) that I have decided to remove it from my hanger. I will stick with the DC3 which I have great enjoyment in flying (I know its not a WILD aircraft ,but there are plenty of flights for me to enjoy.
Cheers Andy
;)
EHM-1465 Dominic:
Ok Andy, fair enough - sorry I couldn't find a solution for you as I personally really enjoy this plane :)
EHM-1838 Andrew:
Hello All
In the cold light of day i have decided to give the Otter another go .
PS Idiot question !!
Can the Ski's version be flown and landed from a 'normal' airport? I can see wheels ,but are they usable when this aircraft is wearing ski's.
And also does this model come with the trim in a neutral position? I found that I could't take off ,and had to slew into the air. Also when I turned of the autopilot at the end of last night attempted flight prior to landing the aircraft promptly nosedived ala Stukka.
Andy
Certified Twin otter test pilot.
Well certified anyway
ps If i attempt a flight tonight ,I am going to chicken out and move the flight to summer time ,as I don't want to be handling the new de-icing gauge thingy until I am sure I can handle the plane generally.
Naughty I know!!
EHM-1838 Andrew:
Update 18.00hrs
Have just REIN the twotter .
Checked the trim .
No problems there.
BUT! the same problem is occurring I.E. the plane won't take off.
And also the ice gauge is showing yellow even though I have set my flight in summer time.
I thought (haven't read up on all aspects of the ice gauge yet) but I thought it should be showing a blue message if no ice problems are present.
Anyways
its probably something idiot I am doing.
PS i didn't have these issues with the original WILD otter (just the prop thing) the plane would take off correctly and fly with no problems.
No chance of putting that orig mod back for download i suppose?
cheers once more
sorry to be a pain.
EHM-1838 Andrew:
18.15 hrs
Just loaded up my original Scilly Isles Skybus twin otter (PAD Original) and that taxi's and takes of correctly.
There is definitely something going on with the latest WILD version.
Even when I apply max power at take-off the craft slews violently to the right and takes a lot of wild(sorry) and wonderful joy-stick yanking to keep it on the straight and narrowish ,it then refuses to take off anyway.
Anyways chaps its still no go in the snow I am afraid.
cheers Andy
