Re framerates... I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.. :rolleyes:

rrrr, we hate you! LOL

 

ok so since we're just chatting here, Bert...umm, how's the LPV approaches looking?

Don't get your hopes up.. as best I can tell, the G1000 is still based on the FSX unit, but improved over

previous Carenado implementations - so LPV approaches are not in the cards.  For that, get a Flight1 Mustang.

I just wonder if anyone tested the checklist.  I wonder how many items you just skip over.  My list of bought and then hangared Carenado aircraft is starting to get long.

I think he took a lot of comments about suggestions for the fde to tweak negatively and got sick of "the community"

 

Looks like I misread and am wrong about this. He didn't get sick of the community questioning his tweaks.

His tweaks is what made some of those airplanes great.  While I've hangared some of their airplanes, I doubt I'll ever hangar the C337 or the C182Q (with his tweak).  Sometimes my brain needs to fly them.  The ones I've hangared have been because they are 'startup on the runway' aircraft...which I don't fly.

I guess I wasn't expecting flight 1 quality , but how much can be accomplished with the G1000?

My F5 key broke, time for a new keyboard...

I'm so impatient for a complex new aircraft I picked up the VRS Superbug/TacPack package the other day.......

 

WOW. If you want complex avionics in something more agile than a tube liner (ahem), that has PMDG quality and ample, literate documentation and full systems implementation, this will slake your thirst and fill up two garage fridges with six-packs and then some!

 

As a result of my latest amazement at what 3rd-party developers can do inside FSX, I will now forgive Carenado any straining of my CPU with their G1000, turn down my ferries near KSEA, set Nvidia pre-rendered frames to 0, and be happy when the TBM850 is out.

 

I have the VRS....  it's alright.  but the autopilot sucks (unless you get the tac pack) and again, no special navdata like Navigraph.  The night vision is awesome and it flies really well and is fun.  

 

For all Carenado I expect some initial bugs, to be patched shortly after release.  For the G1000, I expect working RMI on the PFD, wind symbols etc.  Basically the stock G1000 with a face lift is what I expect.  However from their facebook page it showed removing waypoints in the sim.  Maybe you can only remove them but that wouldn't make sense.  With the stock G1000 I'm pretty sure the only way to get a flight plan entered is to first load an FSX flight plan then it automatically goes in there.  If Carenado has made a way to enter and delete waypoints that would be added bonus...  then they can work on getting it compatible with Navigraph lol.

 

I am a little worried since Bernt isn't doing the FDE but hopefully it will be ok...

I'm willing to accept even less than that if the textures are the usual quality and its fast. If it allows manual flight plan management in the G1000, even better. It may be sad to say but I don't buy anything from Carenado for systems, that's what my MD-11, CX 2.0, and, if its ever released, 777 are for.

 

Would be nice if Carenado surprised us all though, it would probably make them the PMDG of GA simming.

 

Wouldn't it be interesting to have the logic from the F1 Mustang in the TBM?

 

One can dream.....

Well Bert, THAT would clear my biggest worries I have since we got informed it will be a Glass VC .... if it would however come any close to the Malibu FPS in VC ... I would be in business again!

I wonder why their Cirrus was hit and miss for people. (Regarding FPS).

 

For me the thing doesn't hurt fps unless I load terrain view on the mfd.

What about the 182T?

 

I have both and can't recall having any troubles with either and I don't have a powerful system.
