I will have a tinker around and see what got broken as this all worked fine in FS9 only a couple of days ago so I must have swapped or changed something unwittingly that's messed up the gauge/panel.
Let me know if that fixes the take-off issues for you please ;)

I am feeling rather guilty now.
I realize that you all have busy lives and cant be attending to EH matters all the time.
I am about to do as you suggest (remove ice gauge) and see what happens.
I only need to take -off (if it does that OK I feel you are onto something). The other thing for me to do is set the AP ,fly with that for a short time ,and then disengage it and see if I go Stukka if not then Joy will be unbounded.
Right ! I am climbing into Pilot's seat right now.
I will let you know what happens.
PS My sim is FS9

Hello Dominic
I am happy to report that I have just completed a Flight from CBL6 Radium Springs to CYCG Castlegar with the modified Otter (minus ice gauge) and some of my own mods I.E my favorite third party gauges added ,and textures brutally modified to DXT3 ;D.
I even managed a half decent (didn't crash) landing.
I would just say that this PAD is TAD hard on performance...actually TAD is a little hard Tadish is probably a better description, but nothing that would stop me using this aircraft for more flights ,even turned on Autogen for the first time in ages to view the passing conifers.
Just to re-state my sim is FS9
PC Fairly long in the tooth .....P4 2.8 single ,2gb Ram ,GForce 6600GT 256RAM.
Cheers ANDY

Don't feel guilty Andy, I'm just glad we're getting somewhere with getting you into the air successfully :D
I have a feeling (from tinkering a bit) that this Gauge has a 'memory' and that when I tested it in brutal weather I added some really severe airframe icing (see gauge authors text file in panels docs folder for explanation) to my own aircraft in FS9 and then copied this into the gauge that was uploaded with the new TwinOtter package. I'm not even sure that this is possible(!) but it's the only theory I can come up with why the Ice gauge would show a yellow moderate ice warning as soon as the plane starts when weather is set to summer. This would then explain the inability to take off etc since the Ice gauge messes up lift from the wings and tail and gives sudden stalls including to only one wing (which is what you and I both saw on take-off Andy).
I'm going to try and reverse this effect and will try and correct the plane installer soonest. In the meantime I hope you enjoy her in her amended state and sorry for the inconvenience ;)
EDIT - All tests to date support my theory above - even when flown in 50 degree Celsius heat, the yellow ice warning does not go away so I have e-mailed the gauge designer asking for his opinion and suggestions. I'll let you know ;)

Hello Dominic
I was wondering if i can use the EuroHarmony WILD paint on the standard PAD (Scilly Sky bus 2D Non VC).I have tried the usual method ie WILD texture into Scilly Sky bus folder and add the fltsim entry to the Aircraft CFG ,but that is not working. I have tried tinkering with the Fltsim entry itself ,but no joy there ,the WILD livery will not show.
Any ideas please?
cheers Andy

I think the Scilly Skybus is made by a different team than the one we use for our download. It's called the Globetwotter on the PAD download page FS2004, whereas there also is one that is just called DHC6-300. I think we used that latter one. That would explain why the texture remapping might not work...
The elimination of the ICE-ing gauge worked for you, as well as for me (I didn't even know I had that problem, because I only used the Twotter in FSX up 'til now), so why not just use that one? It should be OK, performance wise. I flew her under FSX with my previous rig with a P4 3.2GHz, 1GB, XT400 configuration at more than 15 fps, generally...
