TapA321 0 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hi Guys, As some of you may know, I'm a big fan of the Carenado GA Aircraft. But now I'd love to venture into the world of super light aircraft airliners. I've always wanted a BN2 Islander, but looking at Aerosoft's twotter aswell... it's quite a hard decision. At the moment, I'm leaning towards the BN2. I know Joe and a few others on here have the DHC-6, so what would you suggest? Cheers, George Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,497 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hi George, I have both but prefer the BN-2 but there really is nothing in it, it just depends what route I am flying. Last weekend I made a flight to St. Mary's (IOS) in the Twotter, quite a basic aircraft but very enjoyable. The BN 2 is a little more refined. Either one, you can't go wrong! :001_th_smiles89: , Link to post Share on other sites
rosariomanzo 545 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'm with Joe, both are great addons. It's a matter of personal taste, but I feel the Islander as more authentic. Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 997 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I tend to prefer the Islander, but that's mostly because the Twotter is a turbine, and I never quite get the hang of the lag in turbine engines. It's certainly no reflection on the quality of the planes - they are both excellent implementations. Link to post Share on other sites
needles 1,013 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 It's the BN-2 for me also George. A great add-on for your hangar. Plus some nice liveries also.:001_th_smiles89: Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I have to agree with the rest. The Islander is a nice little plan to fly. As for the Twotter, I have no idea. It's not (yet) in my hangar. Link to post Share on other sites
TapA321 0 Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hi guys, Thanks for all the replies. In terms of quality, both look absolutely top notch, as most of you have stated. So therefore down to preference, I think I'll go for the BN2... then perhaps a bit later I'll purchase the Twotter too. Cheers, George Link to post Share on other sites
GabethePilot 1 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 As usual I'll chip in with performance considerations. Although the Islander is not massively FPS hungry, the Twotter is a LOT better. So, you may wish to consider that, along with the fact that Aerosoft also do a Mission Pack for the Twotter ! Additionally, the Twotter has a classic panel choice with no GPS whatsoever. I also believe that the 90B GPS in the Twotter is second to none, and altohugh they include a 100 page manual, they suggest using the Real World manual ! Link to post Share on other sites
JD_LincsUK 0 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 I was surprised at the question, as to me they are completely different aircraft and I would say they are only similar in that they both have two engines (and two wings...). However, I also own both and I would also give preference to the Islander. However, it depends where I want to fly and the job I want to do (Islander doesn't carry much in Air Hauler, fer eggs - but can be more fun to fly in difficult locations).
