Announcement was made a little while ago on Facebook. I'm on my phone so I can't grab a screenshot, but someone else can grab one.

 

Guys, this may be the one we've been waiting for, but we shall see what they deliver.

I'm waiting on the PC 12 and the HS25B

Holy Schnikes!!!

 

Never saw that coming!

 

Freeking wonderful!

 

Best I can for now! Excuse the poor Facebook Android app and onscreen buttons.

HALLELUJAHHHHHHH

Holy Schnikes!!!

 

Never saw that coming!

 

Freeking wonderful!

 

Lets not get too excited. They may sill not make a decent implementation of the PL-21. Hope they prove me wrong.....

I think they've finally realized they need to pick it up or they'll be left in the dust with their already solid rep as a group that sells textures and models first with systems as a second priority. I think there are two outcomes...

 

1) They release an acceptable simulation of the PL-21 system. I don't really know exactly what that entails as I'm not familiar with those avionics, but it'd get hyped as the first high-ish systems fidelity biz jet we've had in a while. Carenado sells a bunch of copies and rakes in the cash.

OR

2)They half-&@($* the product, all the while delaying it to customers. People buy it anyway, but end up wanting more. Those who wait for the F1 installer might return it with a lasting bitter taste in their mouths as once again Carenado doesn't deliver the whole thing.

Well, I for one won't be negative about such little news. I do know that I can be happy. This is a step in the correct direction for them and I think they will be able to pull it off. Sure it may not have the depth of anything PMDG or Aerosoft, but this will be one of the most advanced, and you already know beautiful Bizjets to be out that is current.

 

I am still following EagleSoft and hope they make an announcement soon also, but I think this will be a good one. These are one of my favorite jets, so it will be a day one purchase for me at least.

I'm excited - bizjet with navigraph ... We don't have many of those (at least up to date)

Good news, but they first must conquer their misunderstanding of, and the implementation of, Autopilot FLC key function. "Within the limitations of FSX"..

Hearing that they delayed a project to add features is encouraging, and navigraph implementation is a definite step in the right direction. I would like to see them work on systems that make good use of navigraph and better flight dynamics next.

I for one am impressed with Carenado, over the last 2 years they have grown as a company, their earlier products even had lasck luster FDE's, since then they have improved visual quality, FDE's and now systems. If they improve their systems simulation (I am not expecting PMDG, more like QualityWings) and then they work with say Turbine Sound Studios for their sounds, then we would be talking about a whole new kind of Carenado. That being said I was going to buy the H850XPR anyway, this is just more of a reason for me to throw money at the screen!

I go to the unofficial Carenado forums after each release and see long lists of bugs that they never fix. They are becoming more like Captain Sim after each release.

I'll be honest, my first response was 'Wait, it's not April 1st...'. ^_^

 

Regardless, we'd be remiss to not encourage this.  It's a great step forward.  If it's done well, I'll purchase for sure.

Screenshots of the WIP VC renders and additional shots of the external model were posted on the ESDG forums a few weeks ago, just FYI. Now, back to our topic at hand...
