Carenado General Forum

Hey all.First off, I love the direction Carenado has been going. Lately the new releases have been quite diverse. In saying that, I have had a craving for some old birds. I would kill for an old Stinson, Beech Staggerwing, Waco Bi-plane or a Ryan Navion! Any thoughts?

Hi.On carenado face book.They have new screen shots of the cessna 377.The vc looks outstanding.As does the whole 377.

Stationair 206, full throttle. Is the 'reverberating' (best description I could come up with) engine sound normal? i.e. does it really sound like that?Throttling back a tad 'cures' it, but as it's the only aircraft I have that sounds like this I just wondered.

Hello Carenado, just wanted to give my two cents and tell you that your new preview pics of that wonderull C90 are just delicious! What a nice working place this will be! Really cannot await to to fly her in the end! Thank you very much for keeping us updated of that beauty! Maybe you can provide a german registration livery in the release ? One question: can anyone tell if it will be a C90A or C90B ?!? Best regards and PLEASE keep up that excellent work you do for us enthusiats! Andreas EDDN

Hey guys!,Does anyone else have an issue when trying to start the C210 with the Saitek switch panel? I get fatal errors whenever I turn the ignition switch to start. The plane starts fine if I click the starter in the VC. Some days the Saitek swicth panel works fine, and others, like today it causes errors. All other Carenado planes start fine with the switch panel.Cheers!

I have recently purchased the v35b bonanza from Carenado and I am hooked on it. I was planning to buy one in about two months. Any suggestions? I am currently thinking I will get the c337.

I have studied panel.cfg files with absolutely no success in figuring out the pattern. It seems that on most FSX planes all the pop-ups are WAY to big. My normal procedure is to bring each one up before takeoff and resize/relocate the the panel to suit. Surely there is a better way.Will one of you knowledgeable folks help me out? I am finally installing some custom panels and getting them correct (usually not the first try) but resizing these pop-ups seems to involve several panel.cfg windows.

Hi I bought the mentor some time ago and started flying it again but some thing I never notice before I cant tune the radios and buttons for GPS doesent work. Checking on the Carenado's web site there is nothing stating for a fix nor any updates. Is there any updates? if not please tell me how to fix the radios so I can tune them.I bought the mentor from the flight sim store if you need order info I can provide through PM Thanks Larry

Hey guys,Just looking at the Majestic Q400 pictures, I have noticed they have incorporated new 3D props which get "fatter" and "skinner" due to power lever adjustments. Not saying Carenado is inferior in any way, but I would like to see this in the near future :) The 210 looks great Carenado! Keep up the good work!Best regards,

The window tints for the early Carenado airplanes like the Cherokee are far overdone, wasting newer ORBX type scenery. Does anyone have replacement textures that will clear the windows UP and make the plane enjoyable to fly. Thank you for your help in advance.Kind regards,

I have the c182Q from carenado. I park turn off the engine radio and battery then leave (the computer). I come back later that day and I can't turn the radio back on. Anyone know why?

Hi,do you have plans to update previous aircraft releases?I'm thinking about the Bonanza and Commander...that would be nice...just a tought.

Yes, a new twin will be in our hangar soon.The famous and beloved C337 Skymaster for FSX.Check some pictures HERE:Carenado

Hey Folks,What's the next release, the beech C90 or the Cessan C337 ?Cheers.

The C340 is by far my favourite aircraft for FSX. I fly it almost all of the time.I am wondering, given that almost the entire Cessna single range was modelled, whether the same will be done for the majority of the twin range - particularly the C421 Golden Eagle ?Keep up the great work Carenado.Erich

Explaining the clickspots again for the adjusted GNS430See the attached picture.Some have already seen that you can click the bottom right side click spot slightly on the left side, so people might think the clickspot is wrong way round but in fact it is not so. I have deliberately moved the bottom right clickspot of right knob slightly to the left so that you can still access the bottom right clickspot that is obscured by the bonanza/C208 model knobs. The bottom left click of the right knob has been moved a bit further away to the left.if you look at the picture and you look from the pilot view as in the picture you will clearly see the bottom right clickspot is obscured…

please NOTE:A correction had been made to the adjusted gauge. On the second map (zoomed out map found in NAV group 3), I did not notice the Aircraft symbol was a bit off the coordinates where it should have been.I humbly apologise for this oversight, but please re-download to get the newly updated/corrected version if you have downloaded the gauge before the time of this posting. I am not going to release this correction as another release. I just replaced the uploaded file.Again Sorry bout that. Download link GNS430NOTE: THIS IS ONLY FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE DOWNLOADED THE ADJUSTED GNS430 PREVIOUSLY.

Well this gauge always bugged me that it is not working properly.. OK it do work but not the way it is suppose to.. Funny ways to get to the map and the GPS tracking etc.... etc...So I decided a while ago to correct the code so that this gauge work properly on same principle as Reality Xp (although it is not close to Reality Xp details and indepth simulation of a GPS - I merely refer to the way of operating). I have then decided to correct the code to address these issues and also added a little bit nice to have's on the sideline eg terrain shadowing. (actually very little was changed in the coding - just correcting a read here and there. 99.7% is still perfectly the old …

I've searched this forum for an answer and found just one thread which shed no light on the problem.Using the 'proper' procedure with hardware switches, turn on batteries, generator. mixture full rich props full on and throttle cracked 1/2". Hit the starter switch and....nothing. Using cntrl+E she'll start just fine. The only difference I can see/hear is the starter motor runs a lot longer with cntrl+E. This is not evident in the 182Q. Can't find an update on Carenado's site either. CH throttle quadrant for the buttons. No discernible difference in the aircraft.cfg between 182Q and RGI don't normally use this kind of language but WTH? :(

Would of any obe kind enough to please repaint the fsx Archer II in the colors of N3917m for me? First ever flight in today so its special to me lol.Here is the link to a picture of it. http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/photo/299728.html

Hi everyone,Having successfully added the realityxp 430 to the fs2004 mooney (thanks again Bert), I now wanr to add the reality gauges. I have read the reality info, but cannot find anywhere the gauge names that I need to be able put them into the VC. Iam not bothered about the 2D panel. If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.Many thanks in advanceSteve

Carenado really needs to make a Piper Aztec! Tell me your thoughts below.
