#FLIGHT SIM P3D 4.1 SIMULATOR#
Our Otter goes far beyond the default simulator functionality in order to provide an accurate, realistic recreation of key characteristics and systems functionality.
Choose to fly the Otter by the book, or simply jump in and fly, your choice! Our goal is to create an immersive, true-to-life experience for any simulator pilot, regardless of experience. Custom lighting makes night operations atmospheric and immersive, while high resolution textures with lifelike metal effects and realistic weathering create a simulation like no other.īuilding on our experience with replicating the DHC-2 Beaver, the MilViz DHC-3 Otter offers a comparable level of systems depth and functionality. All gauges, switches and controls feature smooth animation. The MilViz DHC-3 Otter features an intricately modeled, true-to-life interior and exterior, with an abundance of fine detail. Individual passenger and cargo locations can be loaded/unloaded in the simulator, allowing for the visual emulation of flying to a destination and back again. The interior can be outfitted for nearly any adventure you’d like, with separate passenger and passenger/cargo combinations. Four separate configurations have been included for landing gear: Standard wheels, amphibious floats, skis, tundra tires each model complete with tuned flight dynamics that accurately reflects differences in performance and handling. The workhorse capabilities of the DHC-3 Otter are able to be put to the test. Our simulation of the renowned Otter is designed to deliver a realistic and immersive experience, allowing everyone to enjoy the characteristics that brought the real Otter a popularity that continues to this day. By that time, Otters had travelled the air above every continent, finding service with numerous military forces, bush operators, governments, and civilian airlines.
Finding it’s own niche in the world of aviation, 466 Otters were manufactured from 1952 until production was wound down in 1967. The end result was a qualified success, with the aircraft carrying on the tradition of being named after Canadian wildlife and being renamed to the ‘Otter’. Of course, the bigger aircraft with a larger load to haul needed a larger powerplant, and a geared version of the R-1340 Wasp radial engine was selected. Although the load capacity didn’t quite reach double the Beaver as originally intended, it did come close, with a 3500+ lb useful load capacity versus 2100 lbs on the smaller Beaver. The key characteristics of the Beaver were retained: The high lift wings, the side door loading, the belly location of the fuel tanks. The initial design was referred to as the ‘King Beaver’. And so the extremely gifted engineering team at Downsview rolled up their sleeves and got to work. In the chase of larger markets, however, it became apparent that there were certain potential customers that loved the idea of the Beaver – the STOL capabilities, the dependable performance, the utility-friendly design – but simply needed something bigger than what the Beaver could offer. Our Otter provides a nuanced flight model that closely replicates the real deal, top-notch modeling and textures, custom systems programming, and a ton of configurable options! Introducing the MilViz DHC-3 Otterīy 1950, the success of the DHC-2 Beaver was well established. Building on our experience with our award winning DHC-2, we are pleased to bring the renowned DHC-3 Otter to both FSX and Prepar3D.
