The link below is for a very simple mod to fix the panel lighting issues with the 310.  It separates the dome light from the instrument lights.  I know it has been a couple of years since this was a hot topic, but it was easy.  Maybe some of you are still flying it.

Hopefully the link will work.  I just recently got around to installing WIN 10 and I'm not yet very comfortable with it.

I love this bird. My only complaint is at night I cant get ALL the panel gauges to illuminate without having the overhead whole cabin light on!  Aaarghh! Hey it's great for reading charts etc. but really distracts from night flying and especially approaches. (I'm using FSX)

Any panel / lighting geniuses her have a work around. Thanks to Bert and a few others here I've had some success modifying a few windows and VCpanels but I haven't solved this one..

Thanks in advance

Im struggling with the Alabeo C310R autopilot. Im unable to get it to couple to nav mode. It dosent matter if its on GPS or VOR mode. The only modes that im able to get it right its with the Alt hold, and the pitch hold mode. Im looking forward to look some tips on how to make this AP work, or im open to made a gauge change and add the Bendix AP of the default C172.

The reason I suspect in my first 5 minutes of flying this aircraft along with noticing the Marker switch controls the ADF on the audio is, when I operate the cowl flaps as is labeled, pulling out which is labeled CLOSED should heat up the cylinders causing the qauge to increase in temperature. However it goes down in temperature. Vice versus in pushing in the cowl flaps which on the aircraft to there labeling would be " OPEN"  but the gauge increases noting that perhaps it is closed as most aircraft.

To simplify in all the dozens of my other aircraft out is OPEN and IN is CLOSED and the cylinder guage APPEARS to be operating as such.. THIS IS ONLY THE FIRST 5 MINUTES of flying this aircraft and perhaps I am wrong.

Now to throw in a compliment. I love the reflections in the quages that I think for a year or two you have been using them. It makes the A2a gauges seem like cartoons. Not to bag on A2a but your standard just makes it hard to look at DRAWING gauges. And the fluid movement reminds of PROJECT MAGENTA years ago when I first saw there gauges operate I was using FS9 and FSX did not exist. Very hard flying with such rigidity for so many years. A2a is not anywhere to this standard as I can see. I love my a2a aircraft but these are true statements. This is why I think flying IFR is so much easier in the Alabeo -Carenado aircraft is the qauges.   Thanks Keith

When I purchased the Alabeo C310R II yesterday, it gives the option to use the installer supplied to add the RXP GNS 530.

Details are:

Quote

REALITY XP INTEGRATION
This aircraft has the feature of changing ONLY the default Alabeo GNS530 (COM1/NAV1) for the Reality XP GNS530.
You need to have the Reality XP GNS530 installed in your computer before making this modification.

Quote

PREPARING THE AIRCRAFT FOR REALITY XP GNS530
Double click on the RXP530.exe file which will modify the aircraft configuration changing the default Alabeo GNS530 with the reality XP GNS530. YOU MUST HAVE INSTALLED REALITY XP GNS530 IN YOUR COMPUTER.
THIS INSTRUMENT IS SOLD SEPARATELY (www.reality-xp.com).

 

Reality XP now has the GNS 530W which is the latest version.  Will the installer configure the 530W or is it not compatible?

Thank you in advance.

Going back to VOR approaches , procedure turns and old school pilotage. It's a lot more work than following a magenta line. Fun work.

I'm finding as I get older, like most hobbies and passions, we tend to "buy" into gadgetry for ease of use. For my other passions getting a trigger job done on a new acquired firearm or buying the newest high-tech  drum heads for my drums to get that "perfect" sound..Flightsimming is the same and sometimes It's good to strip things down to just perfecting the basic skills. Learn how to become proficient with simple , basic tools offers new appreciation.

OK - she is a sexy beast - looking for comments comparing the flight dynamics of this aircraft - to my favorite light twin in FS - the MilViz C310 (a Bernt Stolle masterpiece)... Obviously - this one is winning on the visuals and my MilViz version has been down hard in need of patches for a long time... Here's hoping they might be in the same neighborhood with FDE's...

Any input appreciated...

Scott

 BUT..... The using Alabeo's 400B autopilot in conjunction with a GTN750 is very weird and clunky. I'm hoping we can simply use another AP from another Carenado to replace????

Your thoughts

Anyone else get this?

P3D v4

It was my mistake looking at the Aerosoft site and seeing P3D 3.4 (and Above) ready, thinking above meant v4.

I still don't know what the word "above" is actually meaning in the sales description.

So I've been looking daily for over a month now waiting patiently for the day I can fly this plane.

So I noticed Carenado have updated their version of the c310 II now to v4.

Can we have finally some news on progress to V4 from Alabeo?

The exterior of the plane looks fine.But inside the cockpit it's a texture mess.Wings are invisible and the floor is non existent as well as many parts of the cockpit panels.

If it's not ready for v4 then that makes sense it's looking the way it does.

Disappointed I can't fly it but would you have a rough idea when an update would become available for v4.It's such a tease to look at that planes exterior and not be able to fly it.

Cheers,

N

Fixes:
- Fuel system corrected...
- Minor bugs and textures corrected.

Customers should download the package again from the link provided. Downloads and installations were increased.
You should uninstall the aircraft before installing this new version.

I've just purchased this and I am embarrassed to say I can not manually start this 310R.  Using Ctrl E works like a champ.  When up and running, I've even pulled the mixture down to shut off the engines.  Then I put it back up and click the starters for each engine and nothing.  I am even at 200ft above sea level when I try this so I know my mixture is not too rich.  Props will turn over but not ignite.  Any suggestions? 

Ben

I just can't get it to fly the GPS route

Can you fellas?

Also, during governor/prop check on ground RPM doesn't fall at all...

Thank you for your valuable feedback.
We'll consider if we can include it as a modification on a future patch we might release for the aircraft.

Request #3362 "C310R v1.1 - Cockpit Light Funct..." was closed and merged into this request. Last comment in request #3362:

One additional item I forgot:

4.) The ALT fail lights do not appear to operate.

1.) Thank you very much for updating the fuel system. The only additional change needed is the amber Aux Fuel Lights should be on whenever the Aux Tanks are selected.

2.) The OAT gauge appears to have very little movement.

3,) The EGT Gauge does not seem to have full range movement.

Many Thanks / Les Parson
