Cessna or whatever else for what they pump out! To cheap to get a license or whatever else would be required. You can fault Carenado for a lot of things, but lots of developers, including top-tier ones, don't appear to have the permission to use the manufacturer's name for their aircraft, for whatever reason. Just two examples: The Black Square Bonanza -- the page doesn't say "Beechcraft" anywhere. The A2A Comanche -- similarly, no mention of "Piper".

I've not probed the handling yet but a solid IFR flight using the Pro Line above 500 ft ending with a 20 kt crosswind landing went well enough. Later: A bit more flying and I find the whole thing dreary and bound for the hangar. After some excellent Carenado releases I had expected better. Let's see what other reviewers make of it but it's not for me. Fixed. Not sure what the issue was, however, I needed to add a panel light key bind for on and off, strange. But anyway, lighting fixed my end Edited November 11, 2025Nov 11 by MassiveSim32

And no custom tablet. There's probably more issues, I wish they could just do better. Jase Just an update - I managed to get my panel lights to work by adding keybinds for Panel ON and OFF. I've never had to do that, however in the 390, the panel light switch in the cockpit did nothing, strange. Jase
November 11, 2025Nov 11 Hmmm...not hugely into bizz jets but after checking out the (admittedly very poorly done) YouTube reviews I went to the Marketplace and bought the FlightFX Citation X which is three times the aircraft this Carenado is and only two of my great British pounds extra! Currently at forty nine thousand feet over the Bay of Biscay doing mach .89😎

November 18, 2025Nov 18 V1.0.2. So that is probably as good as it gets - last update. Edited November 18, 2025Nov 18 by bobcat999 Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

November 18, 2025Nov 18 I guess you could say that Carenado is the most prolific maker of great looking hanger queens. 😁 dd Edited November 18, 2025Nov 18 by Sky_Pilot071
November 18, 2025Nov 18 "improved sounds" I am doubtful the engines are redone as well as mooing cow flap sounds that have been used since 1982
