Has it glass cockpit? Or could it be installed?Cheers,Ignacio  :(
I know everyone likes what they like .. but a glass cockpit would cause you to miss the nostalgic value of the aircraft. :(

I can't seem to find anything on Go Tropical. Nothing on Google, Airliners.net...Any info?The main reason I would buy this is for Caribbean operations. I love the livery in the screenshots and I need to get the Go Tropical ai running.

FedEx flies Super Cargomasters, not Grand Caravans. They're actually very different models, although it seems Carenado has a cargo version in the works.

DHL has 2 'vans in the Caribbean.

Right but does anyone know anything about Go Tropical? I can't find a website, any picks of the aircraft or any info on the registration.

Shift-4 works fine here (even while airborne :( )I've only used the Red Wine Stripes variant so far, in case it matters.

Thanks Tom but no chance here even with the Red Wine Stripes livery!No matter what button I press, only the pilot's door is moving.

This Caravan is nice but if you are having problems with the <speed> it may be that the SPOILER is activated.Yes indeed, the Caravan 208B has a spoiler. In this Carenado model however, it is on by default (it seems). Note that it may depend onif you have a key defined for the Spoilers. Also you have no VISUAL clues that it is activated: no visuals in the VC or outside (look at far end of the wings).What you will feel however is that when you turn the Spoiler off (whatever the key it is set to) you will get your speed OK.Pierre

That doesn't seem to be the case on my system. I've tried mapping spoilers both to a key and to an axis, but neither seems to have any effect - airspeed remains the same in all cases.It may depend on how you load the aircraft - I load the default Trike first, shut it down, then load the Caravan. Maybe if you load the Caravan over a different aircraft, one that does have a spoiler, you get that effect.

and I have the same problem, only the pilot door opens!Rodger

Has anyone emailed Carenado? They are pretty good about replying.

Sorry, I didn't want to hijack this thread with this door problem.I've opened a dedicated topic in the Carenado forum :(
