Carenado FS9 Seneca, disaster. Again!

Featured Replies

Waited sooo long for this, and finaly, they released the Seneca for FS9 yesterday. Stunning aircraft, texture, everything... BUT!!!What happens??? The SAME problem as with their T-tail...The plane, the Seneca, like the T-tail just bumps up and down during takeoff and landing, resulting in a total crash!To BAD Carenado! I mean, how difficult could it be??? What is the problem?This is beyond words, no moore products from Carenado! Not for me anyway, (if this is their "future standards") Carenado has ALWAYS been the top of the line, but after this... So, if anyone have any patch, fix, sullotion or anything to fix this I would be happy.Not meaning to sound to angry, but as You might understand... this really makes me sad...Best RegardsPerSweden

Can you please confirm that there is no 2D panel?Seems like Carenado is really cutting corners now converting the FSX models for FS9. Might be the end of my purchases from them...

Yes, very yes, the model is awsome... but, as I said, Carenado is loosing it. Has anyone any tips, hint or tricks to fix/stop the crazy bumping, hopping and bouncing during takeoff/landing???I cant understand HOW they can release such things as the Seneca without testing/trying it out. (?)This was my ever last purchase from them. Sad, but true! Not worth the money at this stage!RegardsPer

Hi guys,to be honest, I

She flies beautifully...and aside from the VERY bad bouncing, is an excellent addon. The dynamics (except on the ground, of course) are very good; the textures are great, and the night VC lighting is WOW!! But Carenado really needs to address the contact points issue asap.....I will keep supporting them as long as they keep supporting FS9...

 

To fix the nose bouncing problem just substitute this line in the aircraft.cfg contact points section:point.0 = 1, 1.2, 0.00, -3.8, 1600, 0, 0.6, 40, 0.12, 2.5, 0.8, 3.0, 3.0, 0, 152, 180What I changed here was the nose gear's Static Compression from '0.1' to '0.12'.

Thanks, it worked but do you know how to reduce the steering ability on the ground because the plane turns so sharply. Also the rear/main landing gear "sink" into the ground when turning. Many thanks and your fix has helped me to enjoy this plane.

From what I hear a fix has been released requiring a re-download of the product. I'm at work now so I'll have to try it when I get home.

If so, and as the bouncing seems to a a commonly occuring problem, it doesn't say much for Carenado's quality control does it?

It looks gorgeous,...but no 2D panel means no purchase. B) :( :( Talk later

Well, neither will I...at least until there are still reports about really annoying bugs!Shame%20On%20You.gifIt seems like a beautiful plane, just like the Arrow did at first. But as a disappointed customer of the Arrow, I am going the wait...hopefully they will fix this bouncing issue bechause in general the Seneca is my favourite plane.

For what it's worth I'm enjoying this add-on. It's cool having the older generation Seneca and the newer FSD model. Both of these birds are a joy to fly. I'm having zero issues with both the Arrow and the Carenado Seneca.

Hey Dillion, I totally respect you're opinion so I want one...but I really wish that you would say something nasty about Carenado snubbing all of us who enjoy the 2D panel. Maybe that way they'll get the message and get with, (most likely), a very large portion of their customer base :)Mark
