Find Aerosoft Twin Otter liveries for MSFS 2020, verify the correct aircraft variant, and install each repaint in the Community folder.
On PC, download Aerosoft Twin Otter liveries for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 from our freeware downloads library. Search for Aerosoft Twin Otter, DHC-6 and Twin Otter, then confirm each repaint names the Aerosoft MSFS 2020 aircraft and your exact variant. Manual livery archives cannot be installed on Xbox.
How do I find the correct Twin Otter livery?
Choose only a listing that explicitly names the Aerosoft Twin Otter for MSFS 2020. You can search our library directly for Twin Otter files, using DHC-6 and Aerosoft as alternative terms.
The aircraft name alone is not enough. Twin Otter repaints made for FSX, Prepar3D, another MSFS add-on or the separate MSFS 2024 aircraft use different models and package references.
| What the listing says | What to do |
|---|---|
| Aerosoft Twin Otter and MSFS 2020 | Use it after checking the supported aircraft variant. |
| DHC-6 without a developer or model | Check the description and included documentation before installing. |
| Twin Otter Extended, FSX or Prepar3D | Do not use it with the MSFS 2020 Aerosoft aircraft. |
| MSFS 2024 DHC-6 | Do not assume compatibility with the Aerosoft model. |
Also match the configuration. A repaint assigned to a wheeled, amphibian, ski, cargo or other variant may appear only when that exact variant is selected in the aircraft selector.
How do I install an Aerosoft Twin Otter livery?
Extract the repaint and place its package folder in the MSFS 2020 Community folder. Our detailed MSFS livery installation guide covers the different Community folder locations used by PC installations.
- Close Microsoft Flight Simulator. This prevents the simulator from retaining an old package index while files are being moved.
- Extract the downloaded archive. Do not put the ZIP or RAR file itself in the Community folder.
- Find the actual package root. A normal self-contained livery package has
manifest.jsonandlayout.jsonnear its top level. Remove any unnecessary outer folder created during extraction. - Copy the package into Community. Keep it separate from the Aerosoft base-aircraft files; do not alter the
Officialfolder. - Restart the simulator. Select the matching Twin Otter variant, then choose the repaint from its livery options.
The repaint does not include the aircraft. The Aerosoft Twin Otter must already be installed and enabled.
Why is the Twin Otter livery not showing?
A missing livery is usually caused by the wrong variant, an extra folder level or a repaint made for another DHC-6 model.
- Wrong variant: inspect the other Twin Otter configurations in the aircraft selector. The paint may be attached to only one model.
- Nested folder: open the installed directory and check that another complete package folder is not buried inside it.
- Wrong aircraft: confirm the listing names Aerosoft rather than a default aircraft or a different developer's Twin Otter.
- Missing base add-on: a livery cannot make the Aerosoft aircraft appear if the aircraft package is absent or disabled.
- Duplicate repaint: remove older copies of the same livery package, restart MSFS and check again.
Will these Twin Otter liveries work in MSFS 2024?
Only when the same Aerosoft aircraft package and its livery are compatible; an Aerosoft repaint is not interchangeable with the separate MSFS 2024 DHC-6. Check our model-specific Twin Otter compatibility guidance before moving the aircraft or its paints to MSFS 2024.
Can I install downloaded Twin Otter liveries on Xbox?
No. MSFS 2020 on Xbox does not expose a Community folder, so liveries downloaded as web archives cannot be installed manually. Xbox users can use only paints supplied with the aircraft or distributed through the simulator's supported in-game system.
