June 20, 201411 yr @John: Good to hear. When you say it's the best yet and clearly optimized for 10.3 -- what are you noticing that makes you say that?
June 20, 201411 yr @John: Good to hear. When you say it's the best yet and clearly optimized for 10.3 -- what are you noticing that makes you say that? The only thing I can say is that everything just works. I have had no "what was that?" experiences. It is smooth (could that be beta 4?) the controls work without moving all around trying to figure which way to slide the -( )+, the torque effect is there, but negligible, the sound is great. The new GPS is integrated into one device (when you apply the instructions in the "readme") and looks great in the panel. I have not used the gps function other than an autopilot ILS approach, but the screen displays the approach perfectly. I just think they have done a great job with this one and (although I have always been a Carenado fan - with XPX) I hope they will be updating all the others with the features they have built into this one.

June 20, 201411 yr Awesome!! I love love love flying the T210. I hope that gets the GPS update at some point.
June 20, 201411 yr If you go to the Carenado site and look at the images of the CT206H, you will see several with the two screen (older version) of the GPS. Keep scrolling and you will see the panel with the GNS530. I think you will be pleased with what you see! John John Wingold
June 20, 201411 yr Looking now. Do your guys clouds ever look like this? (Photo link) http://imgur.com/HEOgL9t Mine never look that good.
June 21, 201411 yr Can you link me to the picture that shows the new CT206H with the default X-Plane 10.30 GPS panels in the cockpit? Would love to see how it looks.

June 21, 201411 yr Wow that GNS 530 looks amazingly good with this Carenado! I hope we will be able to use and incorporate this into all the virtual cockpits from Carenado! Amazing!!! How does this compare to RealityXP's GNS for FSX? Does the new GPS in X-Plane work better? If so, I'm really interested in buying this plane since you can incorporate X-Plane's GPS into the virtual cockpit. Does any other Carenado plane have the ability to do this as well?

June 21, 201411 yr I hope we will be able to use and incorporate this into all the virtual cockpits from Carenado! Amazing!!! According to Da Klaue this won't happen since it would mean severe redesigns of most cockpits. You can currently modify all Carenado planes with a GPS to use the new popup but for most planes this is it.

June 21, 201411 yr @Longranger: Really? What a huge bummer. I can't believe they aren't at least going to offer patches for more money. Once the new GPS's are used, the old ones will be unbearable to go back to.
June 21, 201411 yr The new GNS is pretty good though not as realistic as the RXP series.... There's some data issues apparently with Navigraph - I guess Aerosoft and Navigraph code their IAF's differently and this affects which fixes you can select when it comes to RNAV (GPS) approaches. You can't select STAR/SIDS either kinda a bummer - of course you could manually enter them. There's no display of rivers lakes roads at least that I can see yet. I have intermittent issues with button operation not sure why though Overall it's a welcomed addition and I hope they can sort out the navigraph issue. I'd recommend you use Aerosoft for data at the moment. | 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 |
June 23, 201411 yr I wonder if it has the "Windshield ice and rain effects" like the last 3 Carenados released (Kingair C90, PA46 Malibu, King Air B200)? Was interested in the CT210M Centurion as a fast GA cruiser but I don't think it has these. Tempting (as always) but I think I'll just stick with my trusty C90 for now. Bump - can anyone who has bought the CT206H please confirm whether the rain effects are present or not? As there aren't any reviews or vids on YT yet it would be nice to know. Cheers.
June 23, 201411 yr No rain effects. Shame, after they came with the King Air I thought they'd work their way into every Carenado offering. i910900k, RTX 3090, 32GB DDR4 RAM, AW3423DW, Ruddy girt big mug of Yorkshire Tea
