DeHavilland DHC-3 Otter "FSX"

Good morning all... :)

Has anyone heard of a DeHavilland DHC-3 radial engine Otter being done for FSX?

The original P&W R1340 would be nice along with the Polish Radial also.

Having the aircraft in all configurations would be a plus.
-Wheels
-Wheel/Skis
-Floats
-Amphibious Floats

Some Canadian Airline or Bush Flying Companies would also be wonderful.

VC an option along with options for a Glass Cockpit always welcome.

The Otter for FS2004 does not work all that well in FSX and the switches and guages are mostly all missing.

Payware or Freeware...no problem... ;)

Lots of Turbo-Otters out there but have not seen a good one of those for FSX either.

Hang in there buddy, there is one coming. I was told by the produce that they are gathering info so they can get started on it. I am sworn to secrecy so I can't divulge who they are, but they do out standing work.

30% done, but we'll have it whipped in shape in two weeks?

"Dash 8 Series for FSX

Status: Under development

Status of the product: 83%

Date of release: 2015-01-30"


There are a dozen projects that are more completed than the DHC-3. Some are due out in March, May, and June.
The timelines just don't make any sense.
I wouldn't get my heart too set on a 01-30-15 release. Hope I'm wrong, I love round engines as much as anybody.
