DHC-3 Otter

This FSX and P3D package includes classic and modern cockpit configurations for the wheel, amphibian, float and ski variants of the famed STOL DHC-3 Otter, with a variety of civilian and military paint schemes for each variant, realistic systems functionality, accurate flight dynamics and an authentic radial engine sound set.

The DHC-3 Otter is a single engine, high-wing aircraft designed for short take-off and landing (STOL) operations. Developed as a successor to the popular DHC-2 Beaver, it shares the same configuration but with a larger wing, fuselage and a significantly greater operating weight.
