Where can I get a de Havilland DHC - 6 Twin Otter With Amphibious Floats?

Where can I get a de Havilland DHC - 6 Twin Otter With Amphibious Floats?:confused: Planned use is in New Zealand and I need to land both water and runway. The Aerosoft looks like it only comes with straight floats. Is that accurate? Is there another equally good twin engine with amphibious floats that might fill the bill?

Thanks for any input.

Do a search for Premier Aircraft, or Barry Blaisdell. You should find many of them there.

It comes with amphibious floats.

Features:

Eleven models (DHC-6 100 and DHC-6 300 with wheels, tundra wheels, skies and floats)

You are probably looking at the Twin Otter X, which is a very old product. The Aerosoft Twin Otter Extended is their current version and includes the amphibians.

A guy in this vid is flying an 'Aerosoft deHavilland DHC-6 Twin Otter Amphibious Variant' but I'm not sure if it's for FSX.

Go to 11:30 to see him in external view taking off from water.

At 34:45 he lands on a runway in external view with the wheels dropped down out of the floats-

That is the Twin Otter Extended.

I was unable to find a Twotter that had amphibious floats. I have a Maule that has that option, but it's single engine. My best suggestion would be a Grumman Goose. I have landed in the water and then about 20 feet offshore, lowered the gear and taxied up onto land. Works like a champ.

Yes, it works like a champ for you and me. However jimmy Buffett would vehemently disagree! :o

Thanks for the input.

Found an Aerosoft twin otter extended that sported the amphibian floats in Germany. Perhaps the extended did elsewhere too, but that was the only one that listed it.

I do like the Grumman Goose, but liked the twin Otter look and specs. I ended up getting the Aerosoft as well as the Premier aircraft freeware. The Aerosoft was worth the euro's! :). A VERY nicely presented aircraft!
