Aerosoft is planning the next update for the Twin Otter. This was made known by Mathijs Kok over on the Aerosoft forums. The Twin Otter Professional is now in the feature planning phase, and Mathijs wants to make sure all the important and requested features and updates are included. To this end, he is asking for feedback on the post to make sure nothing is left out.
The current list of planned features is as follows:
- Serious update of the VC with PBR, RealLight and TrueGlass
- Modest update of externals
- Option to include the most used 3rd party GPS device
- Update of the graphics of the checklists etc
- Updates via Updater tool
- Possibly Connected Flight Deck
- Options for home cockpit builder
- Hundreds of small tweaks here and there, a lot in engine modeling and flight modeling
- New sound set
- Optimized for the latest version of P3D (so only 64 bit versions)
To manage expectations, Mathijs also stated that this won’t be a cheap update considering there is a serious amount of work involved. If you feel there are any missing features to this planned update, you can head on over to the forum and make your voice heard.
