For those having issue with overheating T5 and overtorque. Usually once 400-800feet above the airport, lower the nose slightly to gain some speed with very shallow climb, retract the flaps up(Make sure you are not in a turn and speed is 95knots above), pull the throttle lever back slightly within 90-96%. And bring the prop lever down to 75%(Default key is ctrl+f2, press it until u hear a click which means its at the lowest end before feather which should give a 75% prop). Climb speed is typically around 105knots trim it properly for a climb of 1000-1300fpm or with autopilot v/s. Doing all this avoids the chance of over torque. Procedures for airports that has a lot of terrain may allow a temporary delay for prop and throttle reduction for greater climb. Of course depending on how long the engines can tolerate. If terrain is still concern and engines are going into overheating zone, Lower the throttle 96% and prop 75% like normal, Pull the yoke up slightly and lose some speed to either Best angle climb of 87 knots or Best rate climb at 96knots then start trimming or using v/s ap to keep it around there. This can give u up to 1600fpm of climb. Once cleared of terrain you can resume back a normal shallow climb with 105knots until cruise level. Cruising is basically still keeping prop lever 75%, throttle lever at 96%, the aircraft will keep the speed steady within 145knots to 150knots ias. Prop lever at 100% is used only during take off up to 400feet above and during final approach just as you are engaging flap 20 landing or flap 37 landing. Also note full ILS landing with autopilot is only certified for flaps 20. Flaps 37 is for full visual approach. If you want to use flaps 37 with ILS you have to disconnect the autopilot just as you are engaging flaps 37 and fly manually following the glideslope indicator down to minimums and from here start following the PAPI lights insteads. Edited comment: Added some additional info.
Hello! Whilst I get that this is an old video (and you might've implemented this in recent videos) please put a red box/circle or some other marker for where you're clicking, as the mouse-cursor disappears when over buttons and switches. This is very helpful for me, as I'm a bit eye-sight impaired, and thusly can't see the tiny dot that replaces it (thanks, UA-cam compression)
Great video! Note that the manual recommends you feather the props slightly in the climb, not just the cruise. Your T5 temps were in the red for a long time!
Thank you Drawyah for this wonderful video. This is a very well made video with great precision. For me your video on the DHC-6 twin otter plane is the best currently on youtube. I encourage you to continue like this. I subscribe to your channel and see you soon
Good Tutorial, it appears you over torqued the engines on takeoff and climb out though. The Included documentation from Aerosoft mentions that the Torque should always be kept below the 50 PSI value.
Hey, nice video. Some points though on takeoff since this is a tutorial. You over use the engines on torque and temp. Torque should not go past 51 and ITT not past 760 i believe, and shortly after takeoff TQ should be at 50 if it has the PT6A-27 engines, no more. Your temps are well beyond that and the right engine is well past the torque limit. (Ofc you can in the game, but if you want to simulate, you shouldn't). Whatever comes first depending on the weather. This is something that goes for all turboprops. Whatever comes first depending on the weather. Also try and pitch for an airspeed, not a vertical speed on climb out. the -300 has a Vx (best angle) of 86kts, and a Vy (best rate) of 100kts. Unless you really need to get over something very quick you would pitch for around 100kts As for landing. Flaps 10 can come at around 100, but 20 should not go down before you reach the white arc (93 knots). Final Aproach speed is 74kts, not that bad here where you had lots of runway but on short strips you do not want to come in 15kts too fast unless it is very gusting. You make some nice content mate, but would love to have a tutorial have atleast these basics right :) Edit: I just realised another commented roughly the same. Oh well.
Mate, you don't turn the de-icing on when there's no ice accumulation, since the ice will grow over the boots and they will cycle inside an ice cover therefore being useless. Also, the deicer is powered by compressed air supplied by the engine bleeds, so it doesn't work if the engines are stopped or the bleeds are shut
@@Drawyah Also, do not firewall the throttles on the Twin Otter. The PT6A turboprops have a considerable leeway available in the throttles, you don't have to, and in fact you shouldn't, advance them all the way during normal takeoff under normal conditions. You've been exceeding the permissible gas temperature throughout the takeoff (red area on the T5 gauges). IRL you'd be facing a dual engine failure haha. Besides, the engines are flat derated to 50 PSI of torque (red vertical line on the torquemeters) and under any circumstances you shouldn't exceed this value, since in case of one engine failure with an unfeathered propeller and the other one above 50 PSI, the full aileron/rudder won't be enough to counter the yaw and roll from the failed engine. The normal power settings for the Twotter are 50 PSI and 100% Nh (prop RPM) for takeoff, 50 PSI and 91% Nh for climb and 50 PSI and anywhere between 91 and 76% for cruise. For traffic patterns set 91% remembering to set the prop to 100 before touchdown. However, if setting those parameters will cause you to exceed the allowable T5 (gas temperature) retard the throttle to keep the T5 in the green, so you may end up with say 40 PSI and 91 Nh. Also, in icing conditions or when you want to heat/cool the cabin, turn on the air bleeds on the aft ohvd (they supply air for the HVAC and anti icing systems), but be aware this may increase the T5 and you will have to retard the throttle to return it to the green. Shut the bleeds before landing, since in case of a go-around you may exceed the allowable T5 before reaching the go-around power if you advance the throttles with the bleeds on, especially with heavy load on the bleed system (eg with heating and anti ice both on)
@@Drawyah Last but not least, you've forgotten to arm the autofeather during takeoff. This is crucial since this will feather the failed engine automatically if it fails at low altitude, thereby giving you more time to react. The drag from a windmilling unfeathered propeller is enormous and will drag you into the ground easily if you're heavily loaded or under hot/high conditions And when you do approaches, remember than when retarding the throttle beyond around 15-20 PSI of torque (approximately when the "PNEUMATICS LOW PRESS" annunciator comes on) the propellers will enter a very fine pitch range (angle between the propeller's plane of rotation and the blade will be small), almost flat on against the air stream, and this will give a tremendous aerodynamic braking effect, so if you want to loose speed quickly, be sure to advance the throttle promptly or you will stall.
I hope to see The ATR 42 & 72-600 Fleet comes up next in the MSFS2020 Including The Concorde,Airbus A310 even the Airbus A220 Fleet both the A220-100 & 300 Series alongside the Bombadier Q100,300 & 400 Dash 8 Series which MSFS2020 needs to add in next also more Helicopters for the FlightSim 2020 al l types hopefully for the upcoming years!!!!
Thanks, great guide as alwasy! But, How could we switch on VS after targeted altitude set? I can't activate VS mode in this cockpit, but only map a keyboard shortcut for that. Your video seems just get rid of that button-click for Takeoff & Descend behind the scene, any tips of how was 'VS' starting to work?
I'm also having a lot of issues with the autopilot, including it blowing through the set altitude (similar to the approach in phase in this video). I *sometimes* have success by turning it on and off several times. Also IAS is simply unimplemented as far as I can tell. I'm a bit disappointed, given that there are similar autopilot and GPS system is in other Aerosoft products and they mostly seem to be working fine in MSFS 2020.
@@GrantOakley Yes, look at those CRJ variants, they are often working fine in descent and catching G/S, however you have to be patient, it seems some spooling effect for the ailerons to serve, all you need is a good handling and fixing via yoke, I am not sure if this is more realistic as I'd never flew CRJ / Twin Otter, but in MSFS not sure if this will disturb the AP functions, like the harmful bug to the AP up in the air in the earlier CJ4 cockpit.
I am trying to programs the GPS to fly direct, I click on the Direct Icon and the screen goes to where you enter the ICAO , but I can't enter them I dunno have the option to click on the button on my screen (the PUSH CRSR), do you know what is the name of the keystroke to "push" a button? or what it may be?
Many thanks for a great video. We have just returned from the Scillies, and I got the centre seat at the front - fabulous. One question I have - when coming in on approach, why do the engines start to scream, when you would have expected them to be close to idle. Is this to overcome a strong flaps setting?
Correct. As flaps and gear slow the aircraft down, the aircraft needs more power to maintain speed. Flying into a headwind too, combined with gusts, you're essentially flying against the weather to allow a slower and smoother landing.
Nice video, man. This aircraft is really nice. . Just a little comment on something that I've noticed so far: All the turboprops in MSFS have a really cold startup, speaking about the ITT. It also raise too slow when you add power. I mean, it does not affect the entire airplane, but is something that annoys me a little bit. Have you noticed this too?
Good spot! When loading aircraft on cold and dark state, I'm going to have a guess that the aircraft is in a true 'cold' state. I may compare this in different temperature climates and also repeat a few startups and shutdowns, see how quickly ITT raises each time.
Hi mate how are you? I´m learning to fly the twin otter of aerosoft, nice bird, but I´ve an issue with the autopilot. I load the flight plan, turn on the airplane, CDI in GPS, altimeter and altitud set, and after take off the autopilot doesn´t work. It´s disengaging everytime when I turn it on. Maybe I´m missing something, Also the Yaw Damper, I tried turn on first to take off, after take off, yaw damper off and nothing happens. All this happens when I start the airplane from the Dark and Cold, if I start the flight with the plane turned on, works without any problem. Cheers for the good channel mate! Hope for your help
Thanks for this review. I bought the Kodiak 100 and love this bushplane. I’m looking for a regional airliner with short landing capability. I watched few other reviews and I’m really interested with this Canadian twin engines, the twin otter. Very clear and informative tutorial
Has anyone else noticed that the Ailerons deflect in the opposite direction of movement of the aircraft? The Ailerons deflect right for a left turn and left for a right turn!
Anyone have any issues with the trim automatically going HARD nose down position after takeoff? Didn't look like you had issues with it in the video but it happens to me every time
Drawyah, I need to ask you what you use for weather engine, it used to be a perfect one earlier called Active S... but what is it now that you use for real-time synchronised weather engine on MSFS2020? Thank you. I wish you to list here what add ons besides MSFS2020 are a must-have in order to make everything real? Please only write what is necessary and basic? Thank you.
i have testet this: i fly this airplane over 100nm in full speed. celsius in red zone, torqoue by 56 and i becoming no failure! is that normal? all failure in the sim option are on. thank u.
Hi all, excellent video, I learn a lot. I have a major problem setting my Warthog Throttles to match the detents of the throttle in the aircraft. The IDLE position is *somewhere* there and it is awfully easy to pull the throttles into the beta phase. Any Idea how tp solve it?
@@Drawyah Yes indeed, for all aircraft I use the indent on the Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle for reversers (lifting the throttles and pulling it back resembles F2)
Nope, the throttle on the Twin Otter uses direct RAW slider position data as there are no set 'notches' the aircraft needs. This should work out of the box!
I really love the Aerosoft Twin Otter 300 Series there Kool also I hope maybe for Next year that Aerosoft will work on releasing more Of The Twin Otter Family series like The Viking Air 400 Series maybe in the next upcoming years.
I get to the point of starting engines but my engines just will not start at all , when you turn your fuel on the right engine starts straight away, when I turn the fuel on, it doesn’t progress any further whatsoever, I’m almost now convinced it’s a bug because I just sat here following you step by step and still just will not tick over past 20% on the GG
Would you be able to do a very quick demo of the Garmin 530.. All the ones I have seen are very long winded by fellow You Tubers.. I have learnt a lot re 530 with this video so thank you... But I could do with a longer step by step simple flight plan/set up.. Thanks again
@@Drawyah Perhaps its me but I think a lot of vintage aircraft in the future will be released with this unit in it... All the "You tubers".... I watched went into far too much round the houses detail.. With the Otter released all I would suggest is a simple step one to Five example of a test flight to set up a flight ...Well done though great video.
same, just follows ALT. Found comment below "thanks, i found the issue, i use the GNS 540 mod, it needed a update." So will try that. I think they meant 530 Mod.
Honestly, I'm not quite sure. The original narration for this was 'Ill park badly in this spot here', then saw I aced the parking. Had to change that bit! 😅

I have a problem. I follow the instructions to activate the AP, in correct order, but the vertical speed buttons does not work. Therefore I can’t set how fast the AP should climb. Is this a bug? It obviously works for you, so probably not a bug? Any suggestions of what I might be doing wrong?
I suspect it's a helpful video. Why "suspect"? Because, as a German sim pilot, I can hardly understand this video tutorial. Unfortunately you speak much too quickly as if you don't want to be late for lunch. And because you're hungry, you swallow a lot of syllables when speaking fast. This tutorial can only be understood by an English ear. Too bad.

My twin otter starts rolling forward at ie thrust, am I doing something wrong?
Thats normal
Thank you for posting this I can use this later when I fly this plane one day in MSFS, as I am still a beginner in the game.
That's the beauty of a sim buddy. You can jump in and learn without the worry of death.
you can never be a beginner at a game. you can always master one plane, and be absolutely suck on another

It's much easier. I have a huge gap in my CRJ throttle that I can't shift.

I get to the point of starting engines but my engines just will not start at all , when you turn your fuel on the right engine starts straight away, when I turn the fuel on, it doesn’t progress any further whatsoever, I’m almost now convinced it’s a bug because I just sat here following you step by step and still just will not tick over past 20% on the GG
Check your fuel tanks. Could even be a case of them being empty? As soon as you introduce fuel to a starting engine, it should just come to life!
@@Drawyah i use unlimited fuel and had fuel in them at the time, i still get this issue, i just end up doing CTRL E works everytime hahaha
Would you be able to do a very quick demo of the Garmin 530.. All the ones I have seen are very long winded by fellow You Tubers.. I have learnt a lot re 530 with this video so thank you... But I could do with a longer step by step simple flight plan/set up.. Thanks again
If it's something that people would be interested in then I could certainly do a quick tips video on the 530!
@@Drawyah Perhaps its me but I think a lot of vintage aircraft in the future will be released with this unit in it... All the "You tubers".... I watched went into far too much round the houses detail.. With the Otter released all I would suggest is a simple step one to Five example of a test flight to set up a flight ...Well done though great video.
Wasn't the Throttle Lever on full reverse? When you said it should be in Idle at the beginning?
No, the throttle is in the idle position. Full reverse has a little more travel on the throttle slider.
What scenerys was this?? Is it aerosoft st marys Aswell as the free st marys?
Aerosoft St Mary's in this video!
I have sat in the cockpit of this very aircraft, G-ISSG.
In fact, there it is in my profile picture.
Very nice! I've flown it as a passenger, you've certainly got the crown on that. 🛩️
is it compatible with the world map of msfs2020 ?
Can you make a route on the world map of msfs2020 ?
Sadly not, you need to manually configure your flightplan.
How to download this twin otter ?
Is there separate key bindings for the steering tiller or do you use the rudder?
Use the rudder pedals on the Twotter for taxi.
@@Drawyah thanks. I did and it works fine. I just had tried it when not moving and the tiller did not move just the rudder pedals.
Great video that was the fastest taxi I’ve ever seen lol did you speed that up?
What are you using to turn the rotary knobs? Sounds pretty solid.
It's an old Dell M0C5U0 mouse I've had since 2008. Not failed me yet!
Does anyone know where the F is the xbox version 😖😖
It's not following the flight plan in nav mode for me
same, just follows ALT. Found comment below "thanks, i found the issue, i use the GNS 540 mod, it needed a update." So will try that. I think they meant 530 Mod.
Will it be possible to navigate vor to vor without gps ?
If you have the frequencies of each node you're navigating to, the functionality should definitely be there, yes!
Thanks!
Nice video. What camera settings do you use to pan around the cockpit and cabin?
All default cameras, you can save different viewpoints in the simulator.

@@Drawyah Thank you. Appreciated.
If you have the funds I would recommend something like TrackIR or VR budget dependant
I can't select an approach. Can someone help?
Some airports don't have them, especially smaller ones that the Twin Otter will fly to. Likely the airport doesn't have one.
@@Drawyah That's the thing. I was flying into the airport that you were using in the video.
Im not sure why everyone is complaining about he sound, she sounds like a twin to me.
How did you park that good?
Honestly, I'm not quite sure. The original narration for this was 'Ill park badly in this spot here', then saw I aced the parking. Had to change that bit! 😅
How do you download twin otter to xbox from mobile file
What's a mobile file? It can only be done through Marketplace once it's available.
@@Drawyah oh ok
What is a mobile file?
@@Drawyah mobile device to xbox
you overtorque the engines on tkff
Is this default scenery your using or payware/freeware?

nice video
I have a problem. I follow the instructions to activate the AP, in correct order, but the vertical speed buttons does not work. Therefore I can’t set how fast the AP should climb. Is this a bug? It obviously works for you, so probably not a bug? Any suggestions of what I might be doing wrong?
I too find autopilot a little fiddly and take a few attempts to get right myself. Practice and get a hang of it is all I can suggest.
@@Drawyah My issues was due to bindings on my Honeycomb Bravo. When I removed those bindings, the problems went away. 😊
Havent found it on my xbox
There's a lot of background noise from your microphone, by the way
Yes, looking to tweak that for the next stream.
That is an aggressively loud mouse roller.
Rip for the people who thought it was real
Is ıt free :D
Nope :D
I suspect it's a helpful video. Why "suspect"? Because, as a German sim pilot, I can hardly understand this video tutorial. Unfortunately you speak much too quickly as if you don't want to be late for lunch. And because you're hungry, you swallow a lot of syllables when speaking fast. This tutorial can only be understood by an English ear. Too bad.
You need to work on your english!
You need to work on your listening. Nobody else has had a complaint yet about the narration. 🙂
what is your MSFS 2020 Pilot name to add you as a friend?
Hi! Could you check your email please?
