Could owners of both the RXP530 & RXP430 confirm whether they have managed to switch both units on in the 210? I can only get the RXP430 to switch on - the RXP530 unit remains off no matter what I do.

I get the same. Also see: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/338619-carenado-ct210m-centurion-ii-hd-series-released/ (scroll down past the first few posts).

Thx. Looks like it will sorted soon.Otherwise this really is an excellent ac! Right up there with the C208.

Agree, it is really nice. Flies really well, and RXP integration with 3D knobs is a nice touch.

Is the FDE good 'out of the box'?

Definitely yes

Is it grass strip capable with the RG?

You would not believe some of the places I have been flown into and out of throughout Southern Africa in a 210 so a grass strip is not going to be any issue. With a 210 you do not need runways - dirt roads, beaches (both sandy and rocky), tiny salt pans etc are all good to go. A number of 210's I've been also had STOL conversions which opens up even more interesting opportunitiesFirst pic is of a very small and surprisingly bumpy salt pan in Botswana (very near the Central Kalahari Game Reserve) and the second pic is along the Skeleton Coast which is very sandy and very windy. Third pic is right along the Angolan border - bear in mind this C210 which has just landed is fully loaded with 6 adult pax + baggage. Clearly the C210 landing gear can take significat punishment.

Thanks for that....very interesting. I have had zero RW experience with RG aircraft. Wasn't sure how sturdy the 210 gear would be compared to my time in FG 152's and 172'sHow is the performance in FSX?? Anyone compare it to say the F1 T182?

Sorry, double post.

Honestly it is refreshing to openly say "YES ABSOLUTELY"

The diplomatic response is they are two different birds IMO. One has retracts, one has glass, different performance characteristics etc etc.I love them both!

A good FDE - really ?? I'm cautiously optimistic... I'm really hoping as the FDE is the most important aspect - IMHO... Nice pix Sharrow !!!Regards,Scott

Yes it is... I think bstolle did it as a guess... since he said "definitely yes" hehe

Ok...I'll be blunt. I love the 182 but I find the glass a little overwhelming and the FPS hit is substantial even with my rig.Does this 210 perform better in terms of FPS?

The 210 performs about the same as most other Carenado planes as far as I can tell - very easy on the frames.
