March 28, 201016 yr It's posted on their website. Looks oustanding.Looks good (the floats version in particular), and it flies really well. Four models (bush wheels, skis, floats, and amphibian) in a stand-alone package at $18.95 is excellent value for money.

March 28, 201016 yr Four models (bush wheels, skis, floats, and amphibian) in a stand-alone package at $18.95 is excellent value for money.Not if you purchased the regular version for USD 25.95 a few weeks ago... :(
March 28, 201016 yr Not if you purchased the regular version for USD 25.95 a few weeks ago... :(I did :( I think they reason that you should pay less for the second package, because a lot of the work for the initial release is re-used. What makes their price model slightly unusual is that the bush package is stand-alone, not an addon, so if you only want the bush planes (and did not already buy the standard version) you get them at a very low price - less than $5 per model.I couldn't wait, and got to pay more :( Tom Risager NGX tutorial: http://library.avsim.net/sendfile.php?Location=AVSIM&Proto=ftp&DLID=162360 SIDs & STARs Worked Examples: LOWI-UUDD, KSEA-KLAX, EKCH-ENGM, YSCB-YPAD
March 28, 201016 yr HAD to get this right away. It's excellent value for the money! VERY nice:Did you change the default eyepoint, or just lift up your view for that first screenshot? I've been tinkering with the eyepoint so that I get a good view of the nose and can still see out the side windows, but no luck yet. Jeremy "rightseater" Fletcher

Works especially well for finding those hidden grass fields, or seeing the runway during takeoff. :) Or just for better VFR navigation in the case of the floatplanes, lol.One more shot:image oversize

March 28, 201016 yr Did you see this post: http://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?showtop...432&hl=view ?(I haven't tried it myself - I use TrackIR).Yep, saw it and tried it. It didn't quite do the trick for me, but I sure appreciated the effort. I'm getting close by adjusting the eyepoint setting, but still far enough away to be frustrated. Jeremy "rightseater" Fletcher
March 28, 201016 yr Do you think it's worth it to pay another $19 after paying $26 for the original? I think it should have been free.Just my opinion.Stan
March 29, 201016 yr Do you think it's worth it to pay another $19 after paying $26 for the original? I think it should have been free.Just my opinion.StanI find it strange that you can get 4 variants for only $18.95 whereas you have to pay $25.95 for a 5th variant. Noone can say this more expensive one is the base model, because you do not need it for the 4 others. So what's so special about this initially released model that it costs that more? Has it more features than the others? Who will now buy the initially released modell? Strange policy of Carenado's!Wolfgang

Strange policy of Carenado's!WolfgangI already bought the initial released model and I won't buy the new one because I don't like this policy at all. I will think twice before I buy another Carenado plane. Yes, I am a bit ######. :( But not so ###### that I can't post smileys anymore. :( :(
March 29, 201016 yr Just got it. Very nice aircraft, indeed :( Edited: Attached a picture.image oversize
March 30, 201016 yr Bought my first product from Carenado two weeks ago. The C185F which I had been wanting for use as a bush plane. I love the plane, but now I see they have released a "bush" version and I am expected to purchase it all over again? I don't think so. Guess I'll stick with what I have. A poor retired gent doesn't have a choice. Guess I've made my last Carenado purchase. :( mauiguy
