In most of my PAD otters if you as adjusted prop rpm ,throttle ,you could see these changes in spot view ,however in the EH OTT the propeller condition always remained the same (The visual appearance)  making it hard to judge if your throttle adjustments were actually doing anything.
Sorry if I haven't explained myself very well.
cheers Andy

Andy,

As indicated previously, the Twin Otter we're using is a standard PAD model with all their base textures, we've just added our own exterior textures and I tweaked the panel a bit. Any issues with the prop texture is outside what we've done with it so I think you'd be best to e-mail support@premaircraft.com to see if they have an answer :)

EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
Regarding the Aerosoft one: it's as simple as copying a texture folder, and adding (copy/paste) a new airplane section to the appropriate aircraft.cfg. The trick is to do that at the correct location, as the DHC-6 with skis is set up as a separate airplane from the wheeled version (and the floats version. for that matter). So you get to see a long list of airplane folders. If you just put it in the "-300 ski" version, all should work OK

@Andy: Maybe it's a good idea if you mail your question to PAD support as well, as Dominic suggesed. I did also, last summer or so (when you first raised the problem), but I never got a reply. And it kinda got snowed under from there   :-[ sorry.

Hello Eric
I seem to be making some progress here. The good news is that the new Ski's equipped otter has prop textures that are fine and look realistic and respond to throttle/prop rpm ,However! for some reason the wheeled version still has the strange looking unrealistic spinning circle like textures.
But please don't worry ,in the scheme of things it ain't important ,I can still try out the ski variant.
CHEERS Andy  ;)

EHM-1465 Dominic:
Andy,

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?
