Nice. No glass panel please.

Ditto

Isn't the CT206H the one they make now that has the G1000?

Dang I really wanted a Cessna 421. A 206 is just a stretched 182 which is slow and boring while a 421 with its geared engines is a pain in the A to manage but it adds more to.the experience if you fly it like the real thing. Plus its fast and pretty.... wish there was a native fsx 421 id steal the carenado Vc outta my 340

I'm afraid you're right. To bad, I really dislike glass panels in FSX.

The only glass I fly is Flight1. The other variants are all stock G1000 with face lifts.

Carenado has a poll on their Facebook page what type of gauges their customers prefer for future projects; steam or glass. So far a vast majority prefers steam.

I agree, it seems most people don't care for the glass panels, including me. I might also add it seems like Carenado has also gone away from lite versions of their aircraft as well, at least with it's last three new FSX offerings.

 

After a dozen aircraft and many years, they have pretty much lost me as a customer because I won't buy an aircraft that may not run well on my older puter with all the scenery add-ons and such.

Well there's a difference between their new models with steam and their old ones.

 

I don't know what spec PC you have but eventually developers start making HQ models with more gizmos.  You'll need a faster PC to run it.  Software drives the hardware, which drives the software....which... well you get the picture.

 

To me all of their non glass planes are quite smooth...  but I would agree if I were to set fps to unlimited and run just airplane (no scenery, no AI etc) I'd notice a difference between their earlier P28R Arrow and their new C337.

 

I want developers to keep pushing the limit (in fact we're close when you hit the VAS wall with x86 programming).

How about an option for both steam and glass? Make both types of customers happy. And allow us to replace glass and steam with what we want, whether it's Reality XP Flightline gauges or their GPS, or a payware G1000. Give us options and I guarantee they will get more sales!

Yep, thats kind of my whole point. If you are just selling an aircraft that only people with new high end computers can run, then you are limiting your market. Give us options and you open the door for all your potential customers.

 

I'm for leading edge technology with all the bells and whistles, but I'm not going to turf my $2,500 computer which works perfectly fine for a new one so I can run their airplanes.

 

On my system the C90B runs prety good in Orbx scenery when I use the light version. Using the regular version it gets choppy so I refuse to fly them. Other companies such as Real Air still give you the option to lighten the load (so to speak) and it seems Carenado has gone away from that. But who am I to say what they should be doing...

2500 bucks and its not running them well?

 

Have you checked out the guides at the top of this forum?

Ha ha, ya actually that was $2,500 about 6 years ago with a few upgrades over the years, but thanks for asking. 

 

I have tweaked for 5 of those 6 years to get it to this point. Maybe what I should have said was it's not just the computer I don't want to replace but also all the time I have invested. Even still a new computer still might not good enough and require lots of trial and error. Maybe I'm stubborn but I don't want to go through all that again. 

Well I know what you mean then. 2500 6 yrs ago is a big difference to 2500 spent recently.

 

Time for an upgrade!
