G'day all,

 

I've flown this aircraft a number of times in MSFS and have only one major issue that I wonder if anyone else has encountered.

 

After Startup/Taxi/Takeoff/Climb and Cruise all go ok, disconnecting the Autopilot causes both throttles to be completely unresponsive. I can't move them at all with my hardware external throttles and moving them with the mouse doesn't change anything at all as far as engine performance/RPM/Output is concerned.

 

All the other controls work as normal but landing is more exciting than it should be!

 

Would be grateful for any help as it is a fun aircraft and I'd like to get more use out of it.

 

Cheers

 

Warwick

My biggest issue with it is the model-the RW Seneca (any series) does NOT have a pitot tube and stall warning blades on the right wing. Only the left. Nit picky, I know, but they have usually been pretty accurate with the modelling. I am me, little things like that make me nuts. (The Justflight Arrow, same problem-pitot under both wings! Never have I seen a Piper with a pitot under the right wing. And I have flown a LOT of them RW).

I also have issues with the Carenado 430 in the number 2 position. The screen stays on the initialization page until I turn it off and then back on. ENTER does not work.And it should say COM2.

I figured out the ADF tuning, I am used to that from them.

And the beacon will not work until I turn it off and back on.

That said, I have to say the flight modelling is spot on. I do my part and set MP, RPM and lean correctly, it is SPOT ON for TAS, by the book. Very pleased with that.

I know Carenado's rep, but I love their models, and usually the other things work OK as well. I just don't get how they don't catch these things during BETA, and I have offered many times to test for them.

Oh, well.

One other general gripe with Carenado AND Alabeo-the registration numbers on their aircraft, until recently, do NOT conform to U.S. regulations. They size them to fit and look good, but the FEDS require them to be 12". Again, just my pet peeve, but with such great models they should be spot on accurate, ruins the RW immersion for me.

Rant over, I just don't look at the right side of the aircraft.

RW commercial pilot, multi, instrument, 1,820 TT, 9 years flying skydivers, 24 years flying, s i do speak from some experience.

I bought Carenado Seneca V FSX last week and when I put my email and serial ID to the installer it says serial ID is not valid. I shut down my firewalls and proxy settings. Still same problem. Carenado helpdesk said that I have to use uninstaller which is located inside the simulator’s main root folder.

I don't get it what is the uninstaller. Is there another uninstaller or whats that mean? I mean that when some add-ons have own uninstaller but I got after installing.

I'm testing the crossfeed in the Seneca V, although setting the cross feed on the right fuel selector I see no activity in the engine monitor system as of fuel quantity.

I have put different fuel quantities on the tanks to test this, I left it flying for more than 10 min and the only change is the normal consumption, no fuel transferring. 

Any ideas if this is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong?

I have a problem with GNS 430 since a month ago. In particular flying Seneca V Carenado. When I want to record the arrival procedure at the destination airport, the simulator is blocked, it does not respond, although I still hear the engine sound, no command responds and I have to leave it, interrupting the flight. I already uninstalled La Séneca V Carenado completely, but the error continues. Has something similar happened to anyone? Any ideas?

finally me and my kids decide on which airplane we will try (really try) to create a simulator after they didn't like the g1000 setup because there is just monitors and they do like to look on gauges and turn knobs but also they dont like just gauges, so after we search we found out the PA34 SENECA V from Carenado.com my kids fall in love with this model immediately since there is the 500 (or 600 what is the difference ?) in the middle and  gauges with the gps .

 

our goal is to make every knob and push button realistic we bought a lot of old joysticks with  21 keys and will take it apart and start putting it in a  panels that we will create hopefully it will loo professional but if it is good for my kids i am fine with it 

 

here is the only problem i am facing , for all the knobs and push button  i manage to find something to control if it is linda for input (great program ) if it is the gps INI file that i can enter key sequence and than input that to the linda or something like that but what about the 600 ? how can i make it button control i can't find any ini file or any configuration  file , i email Carenado about it and the say that all their model are on screen model and do have that capability and i should try offsets (i thought it talk gebrish to me ) since i have a little bit knowledge of programming i start search and found some information about offset and fsuipc i also dig into the XML files in gauges for the g600 and found some command but since there is no ini load with the 600 where can i save the offset value that will load with the airplane model or with the game in the fsuipc . for example i found this command 

 

SOFTKEY1

 

i want to make it offset 5322

where should i save save this line in which ini

SOFTKEY1=offset 5322

if you can tell me the right way to write the offset and where you can save it 

i know it can be made because there is a website http://ljcockpit.com/  that build it but it is really expensive 

PLEASE IF CAN SOMEONE HELP ME :)

COMMUNICATION WITH G600

In the initial Seneca release, the G600 will not show the WAAS LPV glidepath.

 

I have sent some suggested changes to Carenado  (including turning off the annoying Alert messages)..

When it comes to FS I think tthe checklist provided should be one that only has items that are functional in the simulated aircraft, or perhaps better (best of both worlds), the full list but use a different notation for items that are NOT present in the SIM (Or not operational).
