I love this plane (Aerosoft DHC-6.) It's difficult to get much cooler than throttles on the ceiling. That's just good stuff right there. And there is a “fair to Odessa” chance that I rode in this very plane at one time, in 1980-1981ish. But. What's the deal with the radios? I can't tune them. The manual says to click on the knobs below the frequency display, but that has no effect. Was there a patch that I missed, or do I need a (or another...) dunce hat?

I don't know what version you have, but the latest update is 1.11.

Radios tune fine using the mouse wheel. Clicking seems to have no effect.

Is that the one that's been out for a while, or is that the all new totally remodeled version?

Edit: OK, I just went to the Aerosoft forum and the new Twin Otter won't be out for a couple of months. FYI, It's called the, "FSX Extended Twin otter."

Just something silly I picked up. The saying is "fair to midling", which always sounds like "Midland" when people say it, which is close to, so and so, almost at, Odessa, see? LOL. I'm not normal... :)

As to the Aerosoft Otter, I have version 2.0. The aircraft.cfg for the -300 wheel version says version 3.00, the -100 ski version says v1.9. The others say v2.0

....reading the Aerosoft website recently and with a dedicated crew hard at ,me thinks a fall delivery of this beauty may be realistic ??

Shoot PRB, all this time (lived in Texas for 44 years now) I always thought it was "Fair ta Midland", lol. . . .I never had occasion to use it, but at least now I can correct myself if I ever do, lol :salute:

Well, you are right about the 20 miles, with KMAF and "FIFI" right in the "middle-ish". Both cities are approx. 100K in population, Odessa being more at "blue collar" oil field business related and Midland more at "white collar" oil field business related.
