I havent posted in here for years, but thought Id pass on something I noticed today.

Carenado released the Bonanza F33 for FS2004.

Its a great plane in FSX and XP, so it should be equally great in FS9.

:Party: :yahoo: :drinks:

Come one fs9 drivers! Get over to Carenado and buy this thing. If enough of us do so, we may yet see the Caravan, Cessna 340, Malibu and C90 in Fs9, where they will ACTUALLY RUN WELL ENOUGH TO ENJOY!!!!

 

I do not work for Carenado, nor am I being paid to say this. But I have been begging them not to forget us fs9 mainstays.

This FS9 driver just bought it, and am impressed. Thanks to Carenado for listening to your customers.

I am interested in this FSX to FS9 porting system they have developed. Hopefully more products will be "reverse engineered".

i just bought it also, amazing quality for a GA Plane in fs9, bravo Carenado. I took off from Aerosoft's PANC and flew over GEORENDER ALASKA scenery and it was spectacular! :drinks:

 

When i took off i had a clean windshield and later on it got dirty and scratches showed on the glass just like in Microsoft Flight.......awesome! and that virtual pilot moving around in the cockpit is also amazing and cute :P

Does this one have a full 2D panel or just the VC?

Well thanks - but that does not really answer my question. "2D gauges" could mean pop-up windows in the VC. The last few planes that Carenado produced for FS9 did not have full 2D cockpits, so I wanted to know if this was any different.

i never use 2d but i switched views and noticed the 2d panel which also looks good but the VC looks amazing. Don't u like the VC in aircraft addons?

No 2D panel... I implore all FS9ers to support this release. Out of all Caranado's FSX only add-ons there's got to be something you would like 2D panel or not. I can't believe the lack of a 2D panel would sway anyone with quality like this.

A very nice model indeed! :Applause: ....this could get quite expensive if Carenado convert the rest of their models.

 

A couple of gripes....It seems Carenado still do not pay attention to static contact points

 

These are correct:

 

 

static_pitch = 4.8

static_cg_height = 2.74

 

And they need to learn how to impliment delays into their HSI/VOR needles.

 

Apart from that "Way to go Carenado!" bring on the rest.

There are many of us who prefer to use the 2D panel, where ALL the cockpit instruments appear before us, with no need to scroll around the screen to locate individual items, etc.

Also, on some aircraft, the 2D panel can be re-sized, (height) to enable a better view ahead.

 

The 2D panel also enables me to add, delete, and move various instruments around to suit myself, with a click of the mouse, using FS Panel Studio..

Most/all of my instrument panels are modified in some way, to suit myself, and this can only be done on the 2D panel.

 

For me, and I suspect many others, it is vital the the model contains a comprehensive 2D Instrument panel, (in addition to the VC Panel).

 

2D panel v VC panel....horses for courses! Its always nice to have the choice of both.

 

Most of my flights are mainly to explore the scenery around me, with a suitable aircraft for the purpose, the internal and external appearance of the vehicle being of secondary importance. A simple 2D panel fits the purpose to control the aircraft as necessary.

 

Paul...FS 2004...FS Navigator...FS Panel Studio and a hole cutter..... :Bug: ....!

I didn't notice anything too wrong on my system - what I can't seem to get is wheel chocks and pitot covers!

I get baggage OK...
