August 28, 201312 yr I bought the PA46 last night and did a flight from Bear Gultch to KJAC. Starting with the VC. As usual Carenado has included every detail you can imagine from a slightly worn panel and slight crazering of the plexiglass to high-res stickers on the windows. On takeoff roll from Bear Gultch Climbing to FL17 On the ILS into KJAC Shutdown. Exterior is typical of Carenado in that it is in high res and looks perfect. Final into KJAC Flight Caricteristics the plane handles like I would expect the real thing to, I don't have anytime in the PA-46 but the Carenado model flys like a realworld high performance single does. The climb to 17,000 was painless and took about 20 min which is pretty realistic. Overall its a great plane and worth every penny! ATP MEL,CFI,CFII,MEI. Type Ratings B-737, ERJ-190,ERJ-170
August 28, 201312 yr Two other early purchasers are reporting a number of bugs... http://forum.avsim.net/topic/417253-piper-malibu-mirage-released/ ...although not giving details yet. Did you notice any bugs in 3+ hours of flying?
August 28, 201312 yr They might not always have all the systems modeling like everyone wants, but in general Carenado produces excellent visually stunning aircraft that are worth every dollar IMHO!!, And they produce a lot of them. So you don't have to wait a year between each release either! Thanks for the report!

August 28, 201312 yr Thanks for the report. The JetProp always seemed to be a bit nose-high with some forward visibility issues on approach, which probably seems even worse given the very long nose the of the turbine. How's the piston version in this regard? Scott
August 28, 201312 yr So how is the FPS hit? I would think it would not be noticeable compared to the jet prop version. Bob Officially retired

Bob None it was 30fps everywhere with everything turned to max inc autogen. Over KSEA I got in the mid 20's but that was due to solid IFR in REX HD cloulds ATP MEL,CFI,CFII,MEI.
