The Solent S-700

This is the first plane manufactured by the Solent Aerospace Company that is intended to be used as an airliner. It seats 19 passengers and two pilots.


A Twin Otter Clone???

yes. absolutely.


Design

as you can see above, it's basicaly a twin otter clone, but with a U-tail.


Features

Double slotted Flaps
(hopefully) VR-capable cockpit
«realistic» handling (at least the most "realistic" I've ever made


Parts I "borrowed" from other planes:

The PFD is from @GuianLorenzo's LearJet 75


VR

I don't know if it's actually VR-friendly because I have no way of testing that, but I tried following all the curation criteria i could.


Additional Notes

The handling is the most optimised for playing with a mouse yoke or a joystick, so it's mostly optimised for that. if it's bad on Keyboard or however you play, just say something in the comments or sue me for an unbelievabillion [insert currency] for not making my plane accessible enough (please don't)

Floats version coming soon!

    Yeah, I tested it, and I think it probably should be ok for VR. Only other thing I would hsve done, is given some more precise instructions on what controls did what. But it was not too hard to figure out, fortunately.
