Hmmmm I dont know guys! Flight One may do a wonderful job on the flight dynamics but astetically you just can't beat Carenado's graphics. Flight One's planes look a bit "cartoonish" to me. I'll be passing on this one unfortunately unless it's goes on a heck of a sale in future which I doubt seriously.

My thoughts also, i guess it really boils down to what is important to you. The immersion factor is for me and graphics and modeling, especially in the VC are at the top of my list. Plus I am expecting the carendo one to be a little easier on the FPS based off previous addons and included avionics. At least we have a choice..

Very Cartoonish, not going to buy it.

I would give it a try if they built a version with steam gauges, but I think I'll pass, too. I just don't like those glass cockpits in GA aircraft.

Hmm.. looks nice, too bad Carenado is building one at the moment.

 

Carenado Vs Flight 1 and you're passing up the Flight 1 model .......?

 

I'll be going with the Flight 1 version, on flight modelling alone, without even seeing a pic of it.

 

Carenado planes all fly like toys IMHO.

 

Saying all that, it does appear Flight 1 are just building planes around their existing G1000 now (Cessna Mustang, C182T, now the King Air), which is getting a bit repetitive, and I too would have much preferred analogue gauges in this KA.

Even the Collins EFIS 84 would be better than the G1000

Think I'm gonna pass both of them up for the MilViz 350i.

As of right now if Bernt Stolle is doing carenados fde, you can consider my money spent at carenado. I'd prefer analog gauges as well.. Sadly no one is doing that anymore..

To get a turboprop right, you need much more than an excellent FDE. You need custom gauges, systems, all to bypass the limited FSX simulation. In that Flight1 is probably years ahead of Carenado!

Bernt is doing the MV FDE as well... (he's done almost all of ours to date and will do so in the future as well)

Very Cartoonish, not going to buy it.

I feel the same on this one........ :friends:

Ummm Cartoonish? I really disagree here. Do any of you own the Mustang? Im practically done buying Carenado stuff... Every bird of theirs I have has more than a few problems or is missing something. If anything Carenado birds look like someone cut and paste a photoreal picture in the VC. They just got click sounds that have background noise like someone is breathing behind you... Every bird they release is not finished. None of the systems are interconnected its just a model with gauges and buttons that move thats it. I guess if you like flying a photoreal shell of a model than they are for you... If you want systems and DETAIL go with Flight1.

 

If you knew anything about Flight 1 you would know that they are the closest thing to the PMDG of GA! They release their birds finished for one. Their systems are very in depth! They have a G1000 that cannot be compared with and its based roughly off there professional sim of the G1000! I will say the in depth systems can be tasking on you computer but really thats your fault for not upgrading your PC. A newer PC should not be struggling to run a very detailed model at avg 25-30 fps, If you dont think you can run it dont buy it and complain its too heavy on frames... Your computers too slow. Saying Carenado is better than Flight 1 is like saying Abascus is better than PMDG. Give me a break!

Funny they commented "people on AVSIM stated bla bla cartoon" because it does look like a cartoon. Carenado's looks 1000 times better, even if it doesn't feature the (superb) frame-eater G1000 Flight1 does.

 

I own the Mustang and uninstalled it a few days back actually. While it flies real nice and has a realistic feel and the cockpit looks stunning, every AIRAC i update it with also requires some sort of update from the developer to fix a CTD when it can't read the database properly. I don't want to update my aircraft as often as i update my AIRAC and i hate silly crashes. This (and how it looks) is making me scared to buy their B200.

It's G1000 only.

 

Pity. It was an FPS killer for me on their Mustang so won't bother with this sadly.

 

Another +1 for steam gauges.

Strange, I've never had a CTD with the Flight1 Mustang, even after AIRAC updates.

 

Not sure where the King Air cartoon analogy comes from, and the aircraft isn't even released yet, so I'll defer judgement on its VC until that time.

 

I do love steam gauges but enjoy the variety and added educational value a well-done G1000 provides...and Flight1 does that very well.

 

True, glass can tax the frame rates a bit...but that's never detracted from my enjoyment of those gauges.
