Carenado aircraft

Featured Replies

OK so there is a Carenado sale which is offering very good discounts.

 

Here is a list of aircraft that I was considering for purchase. Any inputs as to this selection? Are they good models to fly in FSX? FPS?

 

Want to buy four models.

 

Cessna CT210M

Piper Saratoga PA32R

Beech Bonanza F33A

Cessna C337H

Cessna 152

Piper Seneca PA34 200T

 

Thanks

I only have the C208B Grand Caravan- which is great quality, hardly any impact on FPS and it's great fun for doing bush flying and mini cargo charter flights.

The F33 Bonanza is my favorite FSX airplane - the C337 and C210 are also really nice.

 

The 152 is fun and basic, and the Seneca is one of the few Piper aircraft that I fly..

 

So, I'd say: "pretty good list."

 

Make sure you visit the Carenado support forum after purchase and decide

on which mods you would like.. The F33 has an autopilot mod that is worthwhile,

and most Carenado aircraft can be equipped with Reality XP gauges..

You missed the C340 which is also on offer, and my favourite Carenado aircraft, if you like reasonably large piston twins.

 

Aside from that the C208 and the 210 are both excellent too. The Seneca and Saratoga are old and feel like they're not in the same league as their more recent offerings IMHO.

OK so I have the C340 and the C208. Sounds like the Saratoga is dated. But Bert likes the Seneca even if old. Is the 152 also one of the old ones?

I'd really recommend the 210. It's by favorite carenado plane.

Personally, I love the Seneca II and the Cessna T210. And while it isn't on your list, the #1 favorite Carenado plane among our pilots at EVA is the Cessna 185F.

I like the C206 although it is dated. I love the C337 though, amazing plane.

I mentioned in another thread that I have the C337 and love it. That is my favorite twin engine hands down. I picked up the C210 and made a few short hops with it last night. You will love that plane as well. Be sure to read in the forums here, down in the Carenado subforum, about how to apply the adjustment to the VC lighting, soften the brakes a bit, and adjust the flaps. Sounds annoying but you will enjoy the way it adjusts the plane and they are small, quick, and simple adjustments to make.

Any essential tweaks for the F33, Seneca and C337?
