May 9, 201412 yr Was seriously hoping that Carenado would have seen the problem with the introduction of this add-on. Tested SP1 today along with competitive products under exactly same conditions on my high-end gaming/sim system. Carenado Phenom: 7-8 FPS. FeelThere Phemon: 27 FPS + Flight 1 Mustang: 29 FPS + Many of the same issues remain. No more upsets. No more disappointments. No more half baked products. No more Carenado. Bob Magill
May 9, 201412 yr Yeah I bought the Phenom today and the performance is TERRIBLE! Probably the worst addon I have and I know Captain Sim!! This plane is unflyable right now! I think I am going to request a refund. Oliver Donner
May 9, 201412 yr I am also dissappointed. When the plane accelerates on the runway the aircraft has a tendency to roll to the right or to the left. Some Buttons are not good functioning. The G1000 glasscockpit does not have the ability to give you SID SELECTION (or am I wrong???) That is a shame...for a 40$ payment.
May 9, 201412 yr to apollomaker ... I would have seen it sooner on the problem PC .. FeelThere Phemon: 27 FPS + ? It is really no glory .. I have average 40-60 (60lock) FPS sometimes 25+ .. or may be a problem FSX .. I have P3D V2.2 GTX780@ti i5 [email protected] 8GB ram substantially high setting quantity addons but sometimes it is necessary to disable the G1000 takeoff/ landing It can also add 15-20 fps but for $ 40 it's really not worth, I was expecting more from it Jakub CompelPMDG Prepar3d 777-200LR/F & 777-300ER , 737-900/800-700/600 Customer, Aerosoft A318/319, Twin Otter, A2A C172, Majestic Software Dash 8 Q400, RealAir Lancair Legacy V2, MILVIZ B350i, B737-200, TFDi 717, Flight1 GTN 750/650, HiFi ASN2016, ChasePlane, FsPassenger, GSX, Simstarter NG Intel i7 5820k@4,6Ghz - water ,MSI X99A Rider ,32GB RAM 2666MHz-Quad ,GPU GTX1070 , SB - Z (Logitech Z-5500) ,SSD Intel 520 120GB+SSD Kingston V300 120GB , 2TB+2TB, LG-GGW-H20L Blu-ray,Zdroj 700W Cooler Master, ASUS 27"+ LG 24"
May 9, 201412 yr I am definately going through a refund here. The plane is uncontrollable on takeoff due to the bad performance. Even in the air the fps don´t go up much higher. This addon is probably the worst I have bought in quite a while. Carenado had such a good reputation and the C337 is still a joy to fly with great visuals and terrific performance. This "thing" however, is a disgrace! Should have bought and addon airport for the money! Oliver Donner
May 9, 201412 yr I'm regularly getting 22FPS, all MFDs on, flying south off of KSEA runway 16L and over towards KGRF, with ORBX PNW, FTX VECTOR and REX textures set to 4096 textures, my key performance test case. Many options in FSX turned very high. I suspect your system.
May 9, 201412 yr BTW ... I recommend you to P3D .. of course it also has some problems, but it's certainly better than FSX, although base is still FSX... simply: FSX low pc - low performance high pc - low performance P3D low pc - better performance high pc - good performance from my experience Jakub CompelPMDG Prepar3d 777-200LR/F & 777-300ER , 737-900/800-700/600 Customer, Aerosoft A318/319, Twin Otter, A2A C172, Majestic Software Dash 8 Q400, RealAir Lancair Legacy V2, MILVIZ B350i, B737-200, TFDi 717, Flight1 GTN 750/650, HiFi ASN2016, ChasePlane, FsPassenger, GSX, Simstarter NG Intel i7 5820k@4,6Ghz - water ,MSI X99A Rider ,32GB RAM 2666MHz-Quad ,GPU GTX1070 , SB - Z (Logitech Z-5500) ,SSD Intel 520 120GB+SSD Kingston V300 120GB , 2TB+2TB, LG-GGW-H20L Blu-ray,Zdroj 700W Cooler Master, ASUS 27"+ LG 24"
May 17, 201412 yr The frames are not the only problem. The Garmin 1000 doesn't even have VNAV Tracking. It doesn^t work properly either. And I get a Crash to desktop when operating the panel to long. At least Carenado was trying to simulate a G1000 but they are still way off. The plane is eyecandy, but that^s all. USD 40.- is tooooo expensive for this simulation. I'm sticking with my Realair Duke and the XP Reality GPS. Regards Tom
May 17, 201412 yr I agree ....

August 11, 201411 yr I agree the airplane is beautiful but terrible(FPS killer). I've tried everything to make it fly smooth with no luck. Hopefully the Hawker isn't this bad.
October 17, 201411 yr thx for saving me the 40 bucks. Ill rather pay 55 for pmdg 747 even if its an old one
December 21, 201411 yr Just installed Carenado's Phenom 100 and LOVE it!!! Works great on my machine. It's smooth as glass.....runs straight down the runway.....autopilot works perfect. I would like to have some of the options that they put with the B200, but can live without them. I am a real world pilot with hundreds of hours in real world aircraft.
