Flight 1 vs Carenado KingAir 200

[york600 0]

Anyone have any opinions of the KingAir 200 on which one is better? Flight 1 was clever in making theirs a little different with the Blackhawk engines and G1000. I think Carenado should offer an addon to upgrade the engines and avionics for a nominal fee.

Flight1, no question.

Carenado does not have a realistic G1000.. so that is not in the cards.

There is a thread asking the same thing in the FSX forum:

Prevailing answer seems to be F1.

I have been flying both.....  I think they are both good.  If your like me and like the b 200 and can afford it get both I have been having a great time in both of them  all I fly lately

are those 2 b 200 and the f1 citation mustang...   Oh and the areosoft otter extended. 

  One thing relly neat about the flight 1 b 200 is the wear and damage module.

Due to the complexity of the Flight One G1000 and if you have a crappy computer. The Carenado would proabably have better FPS. Although I have no performance issues at all with the F1 B200. I do have both.

Thanks! Carenado's seem to have pretty consistent performance, I guess it's somewhat at the expense of systems though

I have the Carenado B200 and for those who don't need perfect fidelity, it is quite nice.  Flight1 stands by their warranty policy so if you go that way, you can't go wrong either.  I haven't checked out Flight1's B200 closely so compare and contrast the two and see what you like best, and I think your mind will be made up.

You best look here. If you have an inferior computer, your going to have performance issues with the F1 B200. No idea what your computer specs are.
