Carenado General Forum

So I purchased this aircraft today. I have searched the files for an user guide but I cannot locate the guide. I can't figure out how to load fuel. I know that this sounds lame but this is my first Carenado purchase. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks .

Hello after my recent thread i now have the GTN750. Now i need to know which one to get. Regarding the CJ2 and S550 = They seem to have different character but very similar specs I fly exclusively on Vatsim with an average flight in the 300-500nm range. My RW experience with private jet's as a pax is limited to the citation mustang but that's just too slow especially on econ cruise hence why i'm not including the Flight 1 mustang which btw appears to be still a top release, Questions The FONTS on the CJ2 PFD/MFD look really tiny and difficult to see can some one confirm this? I've heard about the Eaglesoft XLS do you think i should wait? do …

Hi, I currently have a Saitek x52pro, and P3D v3.2. My problem: My rudder and pitch axis work flawlessly. However when I try to roll, for the first 80% of joystick movement the yoke moves a minuscule amount, and for the remaining 20%, the yoke leaps to full left and right. I have this problem on ALL carenado and Alabeo products and I have found no solution yet, it is quite frustrating. I think the problem only started when I got my X52, this does not make sense as all other aircraft work fine with it (PMDG, A2A, aerosoft.) I have tried re calibrating it is P3D, but this does nothing. I have null zones and sensitivity set to min, and max, respectively…

I've been seriously thinking about getting Air Hauler 2 lately after watching a lot of videos of it on YouTube. That being said, I'd like to find a GA aircraft to use in it that meets a criteria that none of the other GA planes that I have quite meet for some reason or another. That means that the usual high quality GA products(RealAir, A2A, etc) that are out there don't match 100% for me personally for one goofy reason or another. The RealAir Dukes make it way to hard to see anything outside the window as all you can see are the engines and also aren't the usual type of plane flown for the kind of company I'd like to create/simulate in AH2(a small commuter type air…

Is there any method of porting the FSX Garmin GPS 500 into the Carenado C172? The default FSX C172 has this model GPS whereas the Carenado model is restricted by the GPSMAP 295.

After doing some forum surfing, I know that the Cessna 172N has 3D knobs, and that makes tearing out and replacing the radio stack problematic. This is not a major problem, since I actually like the Cessna NAV/COMs, ADF, and Garmin transponder. It's all appropriate for this particular A/C (though I am looking for black versions to complement Bill's panel repaint... I know that black models were manufactured IRL). I don't want to shove in a GPS, autopilot, or anything crazy like that. I am, however interested to know whether additional (likely 2D) avionics can be added in the free space below the stack. Namely, right below the transponder (see pic). Namely, I would like t…

I have purchased very few Carenado/Alabeo aircraft over the past two years. But reading here and there, it sounds like Carenado have stepped up their game with more accurate flight modelling and systems support What are your top 5 prop aircraft from the Carenado/Alabeo stable in this regard?

Hey there. Normally I can figure things out on my own, but this one is stumping me. Getting into some of the fancier glass cockpits after spending several iterations of flight sims using older, analogue based cockpits from Carenado. I've got myself the King Air 90 for Pr3pared. Neat plane. Always attracted to the Beechcraft lineup. Question is, how do you get the airspace border to popup on the moving map? I do a LOT of VFR travel on VATSIM. Especially when ATC is staffed. I know it seems counterproductive, but I like to play the system to best of my ability, and that involves hopping in and around airspace borders and ceilings/floors. It's fun picking you…

Ok I've been encountering this problem for the last couple of flights. I use AivlaSoft EFB for flight planning and route selection. Can Someone help me correct this Thanks in advance Ignacio

I have the 182 Skylane g1000 for X-Plane, and I tried to change the FOV from 80, which is the default and the sliders won't stick, it keeps jumping back to 80. So I try to go to X-Plane's rendering settings menu to change it there, and it also won't let me. Any ideas why I cannot change the FOV? I'm only experiencing this issue with this plane, other planes like the 777 or default planes have no issues whatsoever.

anyone know how to get rid of the blue tint in the windows of this plane . Ive owned it for a long time and recently got back to it and forgot how to brighten I am pretty sure i had a fix and forgot how to get rid of the bluish green overwhelming tint any ideas ?? Thank you Peter

Hello, I just recently purchased Carenado's C152 II or FSX because I want to use it as I follow through the Aviator 90 Angle of Attack flight instruction series. I currently have FSX Steam Edition installed on my machine (I got rid of my boxed version install). I did this because I read a number of forums saying that there is no problem installing Carenado airplanes designed for FSX in FSX:SE. I downloaded the installer after purchase, and when I double-click on the installer, I immediately get a red-X error saying that FSX is not installed. That's it. There's nothing I can adjust or change - seems to be pretty binary - either it recognizes some FSX installa…

Quick questions, is Carenado's Cessna 206 amphibian compatible with P3d? Thanks Kevin

P3d v3.2. Pros and cons of each? Which one has better frames?

Cessna Caravan C208B EX V 2.0 is available!!! Greetings Martin

Do you guys like the Aerofly 2 as add on aircraft too? Hope so you get involved after there released SDK..... Really!

Hi...with trim full up, 100 kts. full flaps and yoke centered..im descending at -2000 fpm...with that config i should be going up like a rocket...i have to pull back hard on the yoke to stay level...any ideas?

The Carenado C192Q with Bernt Stolle's mod is one of my favorites. However I do find one thing annoying. The Cessna 182Q POH lists "Rate of Climb at Seal Level" as 1010 FPM. Yet, with full power on take off the 182Q rockets past this like a cat with its tail on fire. If reading this, can a real-world 182Q driver confirm the accuracy? On the other hand, if it is totally outside of specs is there a way the aircraft.cfg or airfile can be modified to bring the aircraft closer to specs? It does make for a exciting take off for the passengers though. :-) Thanks, Ernie

Hi , I have the Carenado TBM 850 and Phenom , but I use a laptop and I am wondering is there anyway of using the 3D knobs without a mouse wheel . Its such a inconvenience for people without mouses ! I know some people will say oh go get a mouse ...but thats not the point . I am just wondering if there is any way of using the 3D knobs using your laptop without a mouse wheel . Thanks

Hi All, Does anyone know if there's a way to hide the magnetic compass in the Carenado M20J Mooney? It's right down on the dash and always seems to be in the way on approach when landing. Is there anything I can do in the Panel cfg file to hide or remove it? gauge01=MooneyM20F!magnetic_compass, 1156,74,150,154 gauge14=MooneyM20F!magnetic_compass, 256, 384 ,128,128 Thanks!

New Carenado Youtube Channel. First Videos: 500S AERO COMMANDER HD SERIES trailer, 525A CITATION CJ2 HD SERIES and a gorgeous Carenado Alabeo fleet video. Cheers to Fernando & Company.

I just watched the promo and am a little puzzled, but I am not a marketing person so maybe I just don't understand. Anyway, I watched the video and 90% of the video is of the outside of the plane. Now, I don't fly outside of the plane but to each his own. Looks like a good one to me and all steam. Bob

I have some of my carenado with A2A shock wave lights. They are brighter and look nice. I know Carenado lights are built into the programing and when you add shock wave lights you have try and place them in the right location. My question, is there any way to increase the brightness of the stock light instead of using add on lights programs? Thanks Bigsky10

Is there any clarity as to when V3 versions will become available? I'm particularly waiting for the Navajo which I didn't buy for V2. cheers
