Loved the inadvertent engine shut down - or at least I would have, had it actually happened, which it didn't of course. Great video. I hope Aerosoft also revisit the Catalina and Bronco.
Ah that was stupidity with playing with the condition levers to check the sim's latest bug :D I did shut them down by accident and had to refire, but... hey, that worked :D
I had to LOL when you accidentally turned the engines off because just 2 minutes prior to you doing that, I was thinking how interesting it would be to see some MSFS videos where people had to deal with emergency situations. Going back in to see how quickly you dealt with it...
Basically that... though overall principles of flight are pretty universal, once you work out specific engines... that's the most of it... Turboprop be turboprop generally... piston piston... radial radial... they all have comonality. The Twin Otter I have a couple of hundred hours in from fsx :D
I Love The Twin Otter Series there Awesome I can't til this Plane to be out This Wednesday 19th January in the Middle Of this Month also they'll have more Sounds on it both Landing & Takeoff even the start-up & Shut down Of The Engines which I will like to hear on this Plane 100% Awesome Flying AvAngel & nuff Love & respect to your MSFS2020 Videos keep going!!!!
This trip was one of my favorite missions in FSX, of course there the nuance was that the plane struggled with the altitude. A real shame they didn't make the effort for missions in this game. I know for most players that's not what they're getting it for but it feels pretty bare bones.
Really excited to fly this around Alaska and other interesting places. You should check out the mod for that GPS, I am pretty sure it gives you the option to type in waypoints and stuff with the keyboard to save sanity of not having to twist the damn knob. Did a flight from Kodiak to Anchorage in the Kodiak the other day, god damn it gets dark quick up there this time of year. Also, the weather was horrendous.
Excellent job handling your engine failure, if I could offer one critique, is that even though you set yourself to best glide, you did not put yourself on a course for success if you were unable to restart. One thing you definitely should have done, was turn the aircraft around instead of continuing to fly into an area where you can’t climb. Set yourself up for a possible successful landing first. Then address the engines and getting them restarted. Awesome job dealing with an unexpected failure though!!
By my altitude, I judged that if a restart failed, best oportunity with my configuration (skis) was a landing on the glacier ahead, rather than risking tundra behind me with large metal flippers on my landing gear that could cause them to rip off and roll... at least in my head.
Got to be honest, the cockpit looks like a good pay ware for fsx. Not msfs20.. it looks low Rez and low polygon count for interior unfortunately. Now, that doesn’t mean I don’t like it, just stating how I feel about this early access bird.
Yep, it LOOKS like a port, that and the fact they went with a less realistic systems version to get the Xbox crowd is a shame. I’ll likely pick it up but I do hope they do a more complex upgrade version later on like they have done in the past from what I’ve read.
I've got to get up into Alaska and do some Neofly missions! Would love to get up there in real life. Not sure it's in the cards. Great vid, still watching. Enjoying, as per usual. So, you spent time in the Theatre? Me too, in the 80's and 90's. =]
Really looking forward to this, it's been a favourite fly across the years and across sim platforms, mostly the FSX release. This looks the same but slightly better lighting.
Someplace tropical for next time? Check out the Bahamas! That's my main plan for the Twin Otter; maybe I'll end up in the barren cold of Alaska or Antarctica at some point, but my current plan is to work up to a Twin Otter using the Air Hauler 2 program and just putter around the Caribbean. Also, I'm going to be laughing at "give me fuel, give me fire, give me engine I desire" for the rest of the day.
Great video as always. Really enjoying the NB2 islander as twin at the moment, so looking to this release. Was it saying “Bank Angle” or was it “Four Candles” ? Really hope the last thing it says before you crash is “I told you so....” 😂
I am really looking forward to this aircraft, more than any other that have been announced. It was one of my favorites in FSX due to a strange connection to a particular aircraft. I spent a considerable amount of time in Hawaii and preferred to fly inter-island on Aloha Island Air. I often replicate this flying in sims since I prefer frequent takeoffs and landings over long haul operations. Anyway, my last flight on a Twin Otter was on N707PV a few days before that particular aircraft crashed on Molokai; I still have a picture of her on the ramp at Kapalua from that day. Here’s hoping that someone makes a period-correct livery so that this aircraft can fly again.
enjoyed the flight while having my dinner, and you adding suspense to keep us on the ball. of course the DH beaver should have a nice big radial engine and a middle wallop army air crop paint scheme. one more Av, terrain terrain terrain
I love both, and they serve a different role tbh.. the Twotter is a heavier aircaft for bigger loads, the Kodiak for me is a big loads into tiny places small plane...
@@AvAngel U206 on floats/amphib would be awesome... 206 is a great plane ;) and yeah, MilViz or whoever is doing the Beaver would be mental not to do the radial version :P
@@AvAngel To clarify, nice engine restart... and I thought I heard you tell me these are not the droids I was look'n for, near the end! Great fly'n... have fun!
Thanks for this. Purchased and flies well but sounds are Awful as like to be able to sync engines. Shame for a payware addon. Keep up reviews and trips.
@@AvAngel Still fall short, not so harsh but still a bad ramp to RPM quality (i'm an ex RAF sootie Groundcrew Plus worked on SH330-360 King Air -90-200) loved to mess with the Harmonics of Synching props LOVE C310 xplane11. Flight dynamics improved though did ILs to EGBJ faultless
Those busses? damn! yeah, honestly the sounds disapointed me on an otherwise great plane... the flight dynamics are stunning. *sigh* We got spoiled by milviz and the kodiak... Now I actually want milviz's turbo otter.
I tried to land with ski's on a frozen river in british Columbia but it think the game still registered it as water as I was bobbing around quite a bit once I touched down. Or maybe I broke thru the ice?
"Give me fuel, give me fire, give me the engine I desire."
I love you and your content.
Engines shut off? Ooopsie!!!! Was afraid you might have ended up lost on a glacier and we would never see you again. Hehehe...

“Yes, thank you Bank Angle”, 😆 Another great video!

Going back in to see how quickly you dealt with it...
I find it impressive how you know how to fly all of these different airplanes.
Is not difficult... just study how to, and thats all

@@61tree_VR_Gliding and don't forget it's just a simulation game... press ctrl+E and your plane will be ready to fly instead you do all the procedures
@@ChesterPlay380 Thanks, but I think that takes out a lot of the fun of the simulator.

Wow, thank you for showing us all these wonderful places, I grabbed those addons and just flew your route in VR, that scenery 👍👍👍👍👏👏
This resembles my favourite FSX mission, in which you had to land uphill. I want missions on FS2020
Me too! That mission inspired the trip!

really cool to see how you fixed a mistake in flight that was really immersive

how did you make the sun in the sim that bright? it is different then i in the base game isn't it?

That was an interesting, beautiful flight :)
The draw distance on that runway is super bad, wow.
I suspect it’s less the lod, more that most runways have seen me visibility over pure snow…. Welcome to the back country!
That approach was a nail biter! Lovely video as always
6 days to go for this bird. Can’t wait.

@@AvAngel its prime evil in us to wonder what buttons and levers do.we learn by our mistakes?😉
Great flight! Nice save!
Is this plane available in the msfs marketplace or somewhere else?
Available from aerosoft on the 19th 😀
nice save! 😬
Well Done!!!!!
🤩🤩🤩
Very nice video! Between the Twin Otter and the Kodiak which one do you prefer? Haven’t decided which one I should buy yet…
I love both, and they serve a different role tbh.. the Twotter is a heavier aircaft for bigger loads, the Kodiak for me is a big loads into tiny places small plane...
Great piloting when the engines turned off! You could have pulled a Trevor Jacob and immediately bailed out of the plane, but nope!
Lol that whole meme crossed my mind! I guess I’m not that content desperate
How does the Otter handle on take off? extensive pulling to the left or as it should?
Very easily, no pull to left or right, just gentle up the middle.
Arent you supposed to leave the landing lights on at all times below 10k?
Airliners
The Maule, Beaver and Otter, I get, but the Cessna 206 seems to be the odd man out in that list. Why is it about the Cessna that you like?
Really common bush plane 🙂 they serve a lot of remote communities great capacity for people/stuff, and decent speed and rough surface behaviour
@@AvAngel U206 on floats/amphib would be awesome... 206 is a great plane ;) and yeah, MilViz or whoever is doing the Beaver would be mental not to do the radial version :P
What was the departure airport? It looks good! Is that a add-on too? Thanks! :)
Talkeetna Alaska 😀 it’s the version on the marketplace
Northern Sky Studios - PATK. They've got some other good AK airports and a bunch in Hawaii
And look at that avangel you didn’t have to jump out of the plane
Kek
I’m flying along with you in the Kodiak! 😁
I'm most impressed that you were able to get the simulator up and running before AvAngel landed at the base camp... :)
\o/
lawl
Nice Restart!
=[]
I do believe you used the jedi mind trick at the end there!
I did not :D
@@AvAngel To clarify, nice engine restart... and I thought I heard you tell me these are not the droids I was look'n for, near the end! Great fly'n... have fun!
Oh yes then I did that!
I was literally sweating. I’ve flown into this range and live in Alaska. can’t imagine this happening in real life. Lol
Do you have DEM for Alaska mod?
Yup, the orbx one
Thanks for this. Purchased and flies well but sounds are Awful as like to be able to sync engines. Shame for a payware addon. Keep up reviews and trips.
They did just update it today, try that.
@@AvAngel thanks but sounds not updated
Did apparently update them.

Gtn 750 ?
not sure, this is an early access model.
Wish I'd watched this before pulling those fuel condition levers too.

I think the game doesn't recognise ice like that at the moment :D
