21st Century Twin otter

Dear simmas...
I am a professional A320 pilot, I sim sometimes to fly and familiarise myself with procedures and approaches. However my passion is or was when i was flying STOL aircraft such as the c206, DHC6 and AN28 and skytruck in south America and during subsequent transatlantic ferries. I and a engineer friend of mine have developed what we think looks like great STOL utility plane on paper and would like to see this fly in flightsim. I remember years ago struggling with a design program in FS and certainly have little time for new program lessons. Is there anyone interested in Bushflying aircraft and their missions to help make this thing fly? Ideally help make it really fly.. who knows if it becomes popular here, it could be a first... many thanks in advance!

Good idea. Hopefully someone with good modeling skills bites.

you might look around eugene heyart's site( http://webplaza.pt.lu/eughey/FSX.htm ) for an email address, he made a futuristic version of the otter and it came out really nice.

Thanks swordfish. I checked the link and it's a long the lines of what I have sketched, however that is single engine. Modern Hi perf stol singles are out there in other forms than the se otter. such as the PC12. Although it hasn't been adapted to Bushflying and seaplane status. My twin engine stol/utility NG aircraft  is completely new but not revolutionary. We have 3d CAD drawings that can be used in modeling maybe?

the 3d cad drawings are in what format? they might be able to be used as a base in gmax or 3ds max. Although any .x file will do if it has the right parts for fs.

another idea would be to post this in the forums at bush flying unlimited (BFU) here: http://www.avsim.com/bfu/

Could you pm or email(it is shown in my profile) me a shot of the design you did?

I dont know if Id ever build it but I would like to get a look at the drawings. Probaly want a designer who is FSX cappable though. 8-) Dash8 Amphib jnearing completion pic.
