I bought 5 days ago the C 340 II FSX Carenado. The pdf files installed in the folder fsx didnt give us the keyboard keys. But I can not find matches for my keyboard, for example, open the covers off, open the passenger door of the plane, and all the various keys that I could set on my yoke or know the keys on the keyboards. For example, I really pushed myself levers to open the covers but that does not work. Did you know a list of all keyboard keys to act on all opportunities for the planes? Thank you Philippe

I have been trying to access the Carenado site for 2 days, but I can't view the pictures for the C340 as everything locks up and I have to exit. Is anyone else having this problemSilverwings

Ok so Im trying to complete this repaint of the Carenado 206, and one final bit has really got me stumped! I just cant't work out whats going on with it, so all suggestions and advice will be most apprciated.Heres the problem:As you can see the small white bit well that should be red lol.And this is how it looks on the texture. The yellow line is in the right place to match up to the yellow line of the fuse.Ive tried painting favrious parts of the texture in the top corner red trying to work this out but still cant figure out whats going on with it. The only way I managed to get the bit that shows up white as red was to paintthe whole component red :(Thanks in advance.

Maybe I am being a bit too cautious but I received a zip file from "Mal Moer" today and he is unfamiliar to me. The file is said to be a new G430 as described here:

There are some new pictures of the incoming Baron 58.Click here to see all of them.Here are two pictures.Can you smell the leather on this one?Carenado

I love the Saratoga, but the instrument light switches don't work. Also the ailerons went all twitchy after I had been flying a while. I'm using a Saitek yoke and haven't had any issues with other aircraft.Thanks,Todd

I have been running the C-182Q since 2006. I recently upgraded my system to Windows 7 64 bit with a clean install. I then reinstalled the C-182Q and LR version from a DVD backup and also the update to FSX. Everything works fine except that I do not have the extra keyboard or the panel manager. The master keyboard appears in the Panel Folder but not the extra small keypad, or perhaps the small keypad is there and I don’t know what to look for. What I am looking for now is for some one more knowledgeable than me to tell me how I might install the panel keyboards. Thanks

Hi everyone. If you own the Carenado Caravan, then you can open the panel cfg up for the 340 and comment in the radar from the caravan. It works like a charm now. I just commented in the caravan radar and put the // slashes to comment out the old for now in the cfg until they come out with a service pack. Please back up your panel cfg for those that are not sure what I'm talking about. If you need more info, ask and I will post instructions. I'm sure most of you know how to do this. Anyway, I hope this makes the 340 more enjoyable for you. Warm regards, Jeff

We are almost done with our C340. We will now enter the Beta testing process.This aircraft will have 4 different HD textures and for the very first time 3D Gauges!!Here is one picture.You can check all of them HERE.Carenado

Hi folks,is it possible to get paintkits with layers instead of blank textures?Would be easier for painters to create liveries.ThxPhil

Fernando,First off, let me start of by saying how excellent your products are, and the best part is they get better and better each time. The new HD series aircraft are outstanding, not only in the VC and exterior textures but the modeling itself. Truly beautiful and realistic through and through. Anyway, the soon to be released Cessna 340 is one of my most anticipated products to date. Being around them on a daily basis, and having logged many hours dual in the real aircraft makes it even more exciting to add to my virtual hanger. It's even better knowing it'll be part of the new HD series. Plus 3D gauges? Great news! My only request, and something I've been requ…

Hey Guys, First off - I am a fan - and - when you guys put forth the effort - your products are superb... Obviously - with your recent foray into X-Plane - Carenado is interested in expanding sales into other markets... Why not consider one last full blown attempt at the FS9 market (X-Plane has more users than FS9 ???)... I'm sure poor sales initiated your decision to terminate FS9 products... In my humble opinion - you really didn't give FS9 a fair shake... In my experience - jumping from your FS9 Mooney to your FS9 Arrow IV was like the products were produced by two different companies... The FS9 Mooney was a work of art - well polished - and - had all the bells and …

We are finishing the Beta testing process of the V35B FSX.The package will include 2 models (with and without tip tanks) and 4 paint schemes.It will be released next week.Here is one picture of it, but there are more in our page. Click here to see them.Carenado

I have just bought and installed the C172N Skyhawk which I find a good representation of the real aircraft, and better than Microsoft's effort in many ways, BUT, after 'flying' it a few times I notice an irritating fault - the port wing navigation light shines through the wing tip when in the virtual cockpit. Once noticed, your eye tends to be drawn to it whenever you fly.Please does anyone know how to fix this bug? Do I need to alter any CFG files, and which ones?I haven't been able to find a patch on the Caenado website.

I opened my Carenado Cessna 182Q for the first time in a long while today and noted that the strobes cycle at a very fast rate. Anyone know how to slow the rate? The other airplanes I fly are OK.

Yes, we finally can revealed it....we are in the middle of the development process of our third twin.This time is the Baron 58, which is expected to be done on March 2011More pictures HERECarenado

Very nice plane to fly (my version is X-plane version updated to 1.1) and navigate around with VOR and ADF receivers but it is still missing one very important part : DME to nav1 or nav 2. I can see that you mention this instrument in your VC operation (under number 12)but still it is not visible in the 3d panel. Can you correct this issue? I have one another question: plane is very erratic with pitch - it's very hard to control it after take off, I understand that it is fairly long plane and it's CG is somewhere near front - can you confirm it that this behavior is normal ? Once again thank you for very nice and interesting plane!best regards,vito

Hi All,Not keen on the Brown cockpit trim in the Archer and Seneca....Is there a way of making them Black...Dave

Hello! I just purchased the Saratoga today and have done several quick flights to check her out and I really like the aircraft except for the fact that I'm getting a tiny stutter every second or so. It's happening even with Frame-rates in the 20's. I loaded up the exact same flight with different aircraft (both default and addons) and did not experience these stutters. The stutters are in both the VC and when viewing the aircraft externally. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, is there a way to solve the stutters?I appreciate any suggestions.Thanks.

C T210 Centurion for FSX (under development)High perfomance - Six seats - Retractable gearSoft and smooth shape combined with a powerful 300 HP turbo engine make thisaircraft one of the most efficient single engine general aviation aircraft built ever.Here is one picture of it.Check more pictures here.Carenado

Anyone have the config settings for Shockwave lights in the Archer 2? I tried the ones listed on Shockwaves database and the landing light looks good, but the nav lights are a foot over the wing tip.Thanks for any help,Rob

Glad to hear Carenado's plane will be equipped with 3D gauges and high detail VC, do you have any plan to remake the VC of the 152, 172 or other legacy product?Since only the VC is remade, I think it doesn't take too long and can provide some fast money to you guys.

Hi, I´ve recently bought the Cessna C206. A really nice aircraft and I´m very satisfied with it, but I have a problem with tuning the NAV 1. I can only tune the last two digits. This really drives me nuts, I can´t perform any VOR flight or ILS approaches. Does anyone have a clue?

After finally receiving a response from Carenado via e-mail, pretty much all of the future aircraft are going to be apart of the HD series including the Cessna 210. Therefore the performance will most likely impact your system if you don't have a decent rig. What's rather interesting though is that they stated that performance on average computers was important to them, yet these HD aircraft prove otherwise. I had a suggestion in a previous post that Carenado should produce two models of their future aircraft that include an HD model and a standard model so that everyone could enjoy them regardless of what kind of computer they have. If anyone agrees, I think it …
