March 22, 201412 yr They've made a new album just for the systems... I wonder if they're trying to improve the system depth this time.
March 22, 201412 yr Absolutely gorgeous - I shudder to think what the avionics may look like.. It is such a pretty plane, and I really want to like it B) Hi Bert and All --- yes, your comment captures the sentiments of many here. After the experience with the TBM850 I too am very anxious to see how they do with this very nice looking Phenom 100. As with most of their planes, the visual side is very good, and getting even better but questions remain. I noticed the latest pic additions and saw the G1000 showing the weather radar function --- wonder if it works as good as the RXPW500 at estimating weather based actual weather formations as shown in the sim?? All questions to be answered. If they put the effort into making it function (key word) well and as close to the great functionality of the F1 Mustang, it will certainly be a winner and will show the fliers that Carenado can move a bit beyond the "quantity instead of quality" moniker. Like everyone, I would sure like to see this be a real winner!! Hoping !! ^_^ Bob Magill
March 22, 201412 yr If this Phenom matches the level of the F1 Mustang, then this will be a winner in my book. It won't be an instant buy for me but I'll be watching closely.

March 23, 201412 yr Todd, I think that if it equals the F1 Mustang it is an insta-buy!!! The F1 Mustang and the B200 are the aircraft I miss the most since moving to P3D. About the only thing sexier (IMHO) than the Phenom is the Honda Jet, and that is unlikely to be in anybody's hanger anytime soon.

March 23, 201412 yr I too wish that it could be to the standard of F1, but I don't see it happening. Hope I'm wrong and will reserve judgment till released Lee

Todd Things needed to rival the Mustang: 1) Navigraph support 2) Navigraph support And finally, 3) Navigraph support Lol The mustang wasn't actually that systems deep. Their King air is much much better than Mustang. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
March 23, 201412 yr True. The mustang just had one very good thing going for it, a great G1000, and you know, it had Navigraph support...

By me saying it's not an instant buy I am conveying my skepticism that it will be anywhere near the F1 Mustang. If it is, then I'll definitely buy it.

March 24, 201412 yr We're going to be disappointed lol Actually we won't be because we probably are not expecting what we're hoping for
March 29, 201412 yr More pictures up, one G1000 pic up, it looks like it's the usual but I'm still not sure, looks pretty default no?
April 1, 201412 yr Close to release, yet no pics of the navigation/flight plan functions. Not too hopeful. It sure looks nice, though.

April 2, 201412 yr Their website and Facebook have been upgraded with new photos of the Phenom 100. Probably getting close to release.

April 3, 201412 yr Man this is a pretty piece of work. If only it had a G1000 of at least the level of the Mustang. I know, I know... Scott
