Hi Rob, welcome to SimV. Okay which Twin Otter model is it? There are a couple out there.

Is it the one near the bottom of this page? I sometimes have the same problem you're describing with that one.

...mmmm.....Amos do you mean to say you NEVER see the wheels in Spot view?...and IWBAP explain what you mean by SOMETIMES you have the problem. Any specific times or do they just fall off for no apparent reason? I've had this cool little number for some time and never seen the wheels come off...ever!

commoner.  :o ;)

How about some screenies of this phenomenon; for want of a better word. :-?

Look at the top of the page and find the upload image button .......having first prepared your image (keep it smallish like 640 x 480  .jpg) click that upload button and then browse to your image and click the submit form button at the bottom. You will be given a URL to COPY then POST it into your reply to this forum......can't wait to see this.......commoner ;D

I now see from your shot what your problem is but will have to give it some thought as to what is the cause...no ideas at the moment...commoner ;D

Is it always like that?
