I like JF but their original piper stuff is really dated.  I like to have superb visuals.

I just don't understand why you hate carenado so much.  You're not going to A2A quality for Carenado prices.  They still make nice flying aircraft.

This is extremely far from junk.  I've purchased addons that look a lot worse for much more money (than free or even 15 USD!

 

I'll take a plane with good flight and systems modelling over a pretty but vapid one EVERY day.

And even at their absolute best that's all Carenado's MSFS planes have been.

  • Finally finished my paint - took me a while longer than I thought!  But it's very red haha!  (Just the way I like them!) https://flightsim.to/file/94526/n9181w-for-carenado-piper-dakota-2024-only

  • I've uploaded a first repaint for the Dakota 😃 https://flightsim.to/file/94481/microsoft-piper-pa-28-236-dakota-n8414z-dynamic-registration

I miss the Dreamfleet Dakota. It was fun to have in the sim. It sounded incredible and beautiful. I'll take any Dakota I can fly in any of the new sim releases.

I’m out of touch recently. Have they confirmed this? Been waiting for a Centurion for years!

I'm afraid I have already tried and disabled it. Very poor and lazy offering with lots of things not working properly.

I have high hopes for the 210T which will be a full Carenado release. This one is junk.  It's free so don't take my word for it but, well, it's not for me. And certainly not given the Pipers I already have. 

How can you call this plane junk. It's done very well and flies very well and it's for free. What have you done or contributed to this hobby for free?

Is this Plane only available in the Beta? I'm having trouble finding it. I'm in the beta 3.xx

Later...Oh I see, it's just listed as an available plane in free flight. Doesn't seem to show up in Library thought. 

Edited by mikegrr

Mine was automatically added to My Library in the Beta. I couldn’t even find it in the Marketplace then went to My Library and it was there. 

It's not on the Marketplace it's in your Library. It's under Piper, not Carenado.  And you don't need to be in the beta to get it.

If you know anyone with Facebook there are lots of pictures of it there. It looks great. It seems to come with something called 'RealXperience' which is interesting and slightly concerning in equal measure but I'm looking forward to it. It's been teased for ages so must be very soon.

The three most valuable posts in the topic.
It seems that even freeware is open to pointed critique and bad grace
and apologies are open to abject rejection.
Evidently there are those for whom nothing is ever going to be good enough
and their lives must be a very small and bitter affair.

You seem very hard to please, lol. Calling this 'junk' is, in my humble view, wildly exaggerated. I like this free bird a lot.

Just Flight nailed it

Really?

On a side note; both you and @ryanbatc have flown Pipers for real. The Carenado Pipers have an avionics master switch, while the Just Flight Pipers don't. I was wondering what is more common in the real world Pipers you guys have flown?

Gave it a short try... Not bad!

It's not my kind of sim aircraft, but it's nice to have in the hangar, specially being for free 🙂

I like the Pipers!!!
