very nice pictures!!

i especially like the o ne where youre touching down.

havent tried the cessna up there yet, but i gotta ask you, how did you determine the mix settings for the otter? because no matter what i do to the mixture, the fuel flow remains the same, so i cant tell if i need more or less

btw what cessna is that?

Stunning scenery , and a very enjoyable airplane  8-), the areosoft otter is currently the pride of my hanger.

Those are sweet pictures.  About the mixture for the Twin Otter.  The Otter is a turboprop so you don't lean the mixture.  Technically, there is no mixture control, it's actually a "Condition" lever.  Just set it to high idle before takeoff and leave it there for the whole flight.  ;)

high idle means all the way forward?

You bet, high idle is all the way forward.  Most turboporps say high idle, then low idle, with cutoff at the bottom of the throttle quadrant.  You can use high or low for taxiing, but on high idle you have to use a lot more beta.

Auto-mixture must also be turned off, in realism settings.

A challenge from Ozzy? Oh, YES!

Where can I find a good An-225?
