FS2004 DeHavilland DHC-3 TTC Super Otter: the complet package
=============================================================

This airplane is the exact copy of the conversion created
by (real world) Texas Turbine Conversions. This Otter has received a more powerfull
turbine for a much better performance.
The interior is custom designed and don't exist in real.
The paint and the registation number are fictional.

This package contains 3 versions of the Super Otter:
Super Otter Empty: This is the standart version with no additional loading.
Super Otter Loaded: This version is loaded to 95% (copilot, 8 passengers with their baggage and 2 boats).
The additional load is registered in the aircraft.cfg and the air-file for as real as
possible flying. The Otter is a little more difficult to fly in this version, especially
while landing the aircraft (nose high in the air...).
The passengers are only visible from the outside. From the inside the passengers looks realy
bad so i removed them from the interior views...
Super Otter Wheeled: After many many requests here is finally the Wheeled version!

An possible next version can be an Otter with a radial engine... but i promise nothing!


Important:
----------
For the amphibious version: to active the water rudder press "shift + w"!
There are no lever on the panel...


Credits:
--------
Model, animation, cockpit, dynamic Virtuel cockpit e.t.c. all produced by myself.

The pilot model and texture are from NĂ©stor D'Angelo.
The Seat model are from Brian Gladden.
The Passengers model are from "looseKannon" Nicholas McColl (i changed them a little bit...).
Many thanks to them for their great work!

Most gauges are default FS2002pro gauges. But there are gauges created by
other persons. I don't know their names and adresses and hope i don't
hurt anyone...

Many thanks for the many received e-mails and the good and usefull hints/tips!!


Software used:

Installation and usage:
-----------------------
Unzip the files into a temp folder.
Copy the "Super Otter Empty" folder with the subfolders in your FS2004\aircraft folder.
Copy the "Super Otter Loaded" folder with the subfolders in your FS2004\aircraft folder.
Copy the "Super Otter Wheeled" folder with the subfolders in your FS2004\aircraft folder.

This plane was tested with FS2004 only and probaly only works correcly with this version.
I used a P4 3.2 and a ATI 9800 Pro 256mb graphic card. I don't know if
the framerate is correct with a slower machine.
The joystick i used is not a force feedback so i can not set the forces correctly!


Corrected problems over the previous version (SOfinal.zip):
-----------------------------------------------------------
Nothing special.


Changed and added things:
-------------------------
Third version (wheeled) added to the package.
Now with four liverys for all version.
Updated the files to FS2004.


Known problems:
---------------
The only problem i have encountered is the lighting of the gauges in the dynamic virtual cockpit.
I can not change the color of the gauges. They are too bright.
I have read somewhere that this can only be changed with GMAx and not with FSDS Software...
