Face it,they taught others how an exterior paint job should be done way,way back. They did charge for the Bonanza upgrade from FS02 to FS04,if I remember right it was all of $5.00 or 7.00? Lets see how many other payware companies port their aircraft over to FS2006 without charging. As far as the pricing goes they'd probably still be in that $17-18 range if everyone else was. I'll gladly pay $25 for one of their aircraft,they've always been top quality.David

Not sure what that other guy was talking about with regards to bad panel graphics. Looks great on my machine. :/

Can anyone who has got this plane please comment on how the frame rates are and if the gauges in virtual cockpit update relatively smoothly or otherwise. Thanks

Thanks for the reply David...It may well be that the issues concerning the V35 I mentioned never made it to Carenado. Everyone here with the exception of me has always received pretty quick replies from them--but since I use hotmail for any business coorespondence, to keep spam out of my family's email address, it's possible their spam filters have blocked my emails. Even in my own office, we block hotmail, webtv and yahoo to filter spam. Maybe if someone here can communicate to Carenado the missing poly issue with the V35, they will update the mdl since my email (granted I only sent one) doesn't seem to get through."Lets see how many other payware companies port their aircraft over to FS2006 without charging."Dreamwings, Eaglesoft, and Flight1 have always supported their products without charging vs. items found and also when FS2004 was released. The most fantastic example of this was when Dreamwings released the RG update to their Cardinal--an add-on most of us would have paid for :)

If it is anything like their V35, fps are outstanding and it should run on the slowest of machines. I think Carenado uses fewer polys vs. richer textures than many--and it really shows as I think their texturing has no rival...-John

Have always been a fan of Carenado despite experiencing the occasional unhelpful attitude from their support staff (had to reinstall aircraft when I reinstalled FS2004 with the 9.1 patch - V35 download link didnt work so they told me to buy it again - cheek or what?!).Won't be buying their new aircraft - already have their Piper Archer which is IMHO the best looking of this FS aircraft (closely followed by the Flight1 version).Anyone find the engine sounds on the Beechcraft V35 too quiet? I did email them to find out how to turn the engine sound up but never received a reply (yes I have it right up on MAX in Sound settings in FS2004).RegardsAdam
