I took the plunge, and decided to get XP10, just got my copy in the mail and am now installing. I also purchased the Carenado Beech F33 and Cessna 172. Look forward to the full (non-demo) experience. ......now if it would only install faster. :(

There are some bugs with the Carenado stuff."Sorry, this aircraft was not developed for XP10.We will port it soon.""Carenado"

don't run the F33A in plane maker 10, if you do the gear wheel doors probably won't close on retraction. If you want to change the livery or anything else in the Carenado planes, do it in plane maker 9, then copy the file out of XP9 into XP10The C172N Com 2 doesn't work Com 1 OK. To tune .the ADF, first tune the frequency then turn the ADF off and on, the needle will then find the station. All in all it seems to me to be pretty good otherwise.

Hello,I just received X-Plane 10 in the mail on Christmas Eve.I have bought The Carenado C152 ana C172 Among some others,I unzipped the zipped file and installed them manually in my Aircraft/General aviation folder.They seem to work fine.Am I missing something? Should I of installed them into my Plane Maker folder?Thanks for any help.

You can technically copy them to wherever you want, but the aircraft folder is generally the most convenient. You shouldn't have any need to open then in PlaneMaker unless you have a specific reason to and you know what you're doing.The Carenado stuff generally works fine in XP10, but there are some quirks, especially with the 172 and its radios. The F33 and 152 both seem to work without any problems.

Thanks for the heads up. Do I need to manualy install them, or will the auto installer work?

Do Carenado planes come with an installer? The ones I downloaded came in a zip file that I simply extracted to the Aircraft directory.

No, they don't have an installer. You don't really know on which plattform the file will be used. It could be on Windows, MacOS X or Linux so they might really need three different installers. Since X-Plane tries to run totally local, without any heavy config files in the users home directory, this behaviour really matches the to the whole structure of X-Plane.

I wish I could get my copy as well... I ordered it in the end of November, but it seems that the swedish mail service has lost my package. Annoyed beyond belief. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

Still waiting here too.

Sorry to somewhat hijack your topic, but how do you like the Carenado? I'd like to try it and the sales pitch seems great (plus just today I was thinking how it'd be cool if the X-Plane 172 sounded more like the real thing, heh), but I wonder if it also solves some of my annoyances with the standard C172 like for example the IMHO very slow responses to throttle adjustments.Looking shiny is great, but I also want the flight experience to be better...

You should wait wait for the X-plane 10 update from Carenado. There some bugs with the radios. The turn cordinator is totally off. And the Carenado planes can't be slipped to correct for a decent crosswind.If you want fly something realistic that looks good and works the way its suppose to, try the Duchess !!!

Strider-just curious what your beef about the f33is-especially since I have posted video that shows you can slip the plane. Have you ever flown a Bo? Last I read if I recall you are a student pilot? I also have 28 hours in duchess which I got my commercial instrument multi in-have you flown a Duchess?Just curious ...

I can live with the inability to slip (although I would expect, with how X-Plane works, that that would Just Work..), I don't really do crosswinds in X-Plane anyway. Whereas at KPAO with a pretty strong crosswind last year I could do survivable landings while other student pilots were doing 3 go-arounds in a row before a successful touchdown, with X-Plane I end up in grass or on the taxiway all the time. I blame the low quality of flightsim controls as much as I blame X-Plane though.Thanks for the Duchess advice, although that's a twin-engine and I'm not quite at that stage yet. :-) I guess I'll just try the Archer II which is supposed to be better done than the C172. It's just a shame that there's now way to try-before-buy. It would be nice if X-Plane had a way to restrict ACFs to just 10-minute demos (which I guess would motivate more ACF designers to release demos like that).

I stand correct, sort of. You can slip it but just barely. You can't bank more then 5 to 7 degrees with full rudder to compensate for a strong crosswind. I'm not sure how accurate that is. And in a strong crosswind and can't hold the plane on the runway, it gets blown off.I'm still a student but i'm done with my FAR 61.109 requirements ! Just need some more practice,studying and money !Never flown the Bo. I got some stick time in a PA-44, a Citation Mustang, 172, SR-22.
