October 26, 201510 yr Hi Ray, How's your review coming along? The draft is complete. Avsim had problems with their servers so the reviews could not be uploaded. Access was achieved just this last week. I think the Phenom 300 is 3 or 4 down on the list for final editing and publishing. It is a positive review, but, calls attention to the many glitches and errors in the Navigraph and autopilot fucntions. Regards, Ray Everyone, I would like to have a comprehensive list of the items that do not work, should be corrected, or are in error in the synoptics pages of the MFD. These items add tremendously to the immersion of flying the Phenom 300 and the more that we can get working the better. I forwarded Phils 4 items to Carenado this morning with my additional comments. If you know of any specific items that needs attention by Carenado, please send them an email today and ask that the fix be in the next update. Regards, Ray When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .
October 26, 201510 yr Thanks Ray, I'm looking forward to your review! Together with Andre Herd and Zane Gard in the old days you belong to my favorite reviewers
October 26, 201510 yr Is this a Navigraph data glitch or something in the G1000? It's the PAHO (Homer) Rwy4 LOC approach (Phenom v1.3/Navigraph extension v1.2 with latest airac)
October 28, 201510 yr I have no connections with Carenado or Carenado Support. I do send them direct emails when I discover items that needs to be fixed and sometimes I get replies. If not, I resend them until I do get a proper reply, not just confirmation that they got the email. It seems like the Transponder problem is a carry over from previous models. Is this a new or different problem than the one we have be complaining about already? What specifically is the problem with the cabin light? I suggest that everyone send their list of non-working, incorrectly working, or missing items directly to Carenado and request a 'full reply', not just confirmation that the email was received. It is important to know that they are fully aware of these problems and that we expect them to be corrected. It is not unreasonable to expect an explanation or status of the corrections being requested. Regards, Ray I had corresponded with Carenado via email on the transponder. It should have modes such as ON STBY GND and ALT which is somewhat important for persons who fly on networks like VATSIM. The way the transponder works is a nice feature of the G1000 that Carenado excluded. WHen you take off and land the Transponder setting can adjust automatically. Also, the cabin light switch doesn't control the cabin lights, everything is linked to the cockpit lighting. Marlon Carter - AVSIM Reviewer
October 28, 201510 yr Is this a Navigraph data glitch or something in the G1000? It's the PAHO (Homer) Rwy4 LOC approach (Phenom v1.3/Navigraph extension v1.2 with latest airac) Navigraph extension v1.2 does not work. All altitudes in the approach and departure pages are wrong. Used to work fine in 1.1.
November 3, 201510 yr Navigraph extension v1.2 does not work. All altitudes in the approach and departure pages are wrong. Used to work fine in 1.1. yeah, it gives the same altitude for everything SID/Waypoints/STAR. I had to revert back to 1.1, too cumbersome to tweak all of them. I hope they don't abandon this airplane and move on to the next one.
November 16, 201510 yr Are they still coming out with an update for the Phenom 300? Marlon Carter - AVSIM Reviewer
November 16, 201510 yr Are they still coming out with an update for the Phenom 300? Last time I contacted Carenado on October 19 they said to me they were working on an update both for the base version and the extension without a date estimation. Since there, however, no newer version was released for the Phenom 300. I will contact them again.
November 24, 201510 yr Hi All, Just 3 questions please? 1. Anyone flying on vatsim with the new carenado phenom 300? 2. Can this model do holding patterns setup in the G1000? 3. Transponder, how to switch to standby mode? Thank you.
April 4, 201610 yr Hello I am having a problem with the phenom 300. When I got to the mfd and click proc and try and select a departure it only gives me the option to 'select and approach'. I have tried uninstalling the navigraph but I can't seem to get it going. Can anyone please help
September 7, 20169 yr Is quite an enjoyment to read everyone's comments. The Carenado P300 is beautiful in terms of interior and exterior modelling. The G1000 is crappy and seems that they had already given up on updating this bird. I understand probably because of the selling price is too low. I am really dishearten by the flightsim industry. The only one who can faithfully reproduce the aircraft probably is PMDG. But they are very "Boeing" company. Probably I should start a company focus on Embraer aircraft and have a standard on par with PMDG! Phenom 100E, Phenom 300, Legacy 450, Legacy 500, Legacy 600, Legacy 650, Lineage 1000E EMB-120, ERJ135, ERJ145, E-Jets E2, AMX....
September 17, 20169 yr I guess it depends on what you want to simulate. You can simulate a phenom with a GTN-750 installed instead of the G1000. Or you can simulate a Phenom with a G1000 that has a few bad transistors. Some of us prefer the Phenom with the fully functional GTN-750. :smile: Cheers, Bill New real world Phenoms come with the G3000, which is basically a G1000 with many of the attributes of the GTN-750. Combine the F1 GTN with the G1000 PFD, and you have something roughly similar to a G3000. The problem with the Carenado G1000, is that it's based on the old FSX gps maps, and doesn't come close to the F1 GTN in realism. F1 is the only developer that has maps like the real Garmins. That's why people are modifying panels with the GTN in all sorts of aircraft. Meanwhile, developers are still screwing around with perfecting the Proline 21, when they should be working on better Garmins. PL21 is obsolete, and will be retrofitted with G3000's or 5000's by the end of the decade, as per the ADS-B mandate. Is quite an enjoyment to read everyone's comments.

Anything approaching PMDG realism on Garmin equipped business jets, will require implementation of synthetic vision on the PFD. There's a reason PMDG only models Boeings with 10-20 year old avionics suites.
January 11, 20179 yr Sorry for the (slight) necro but it didn't make sense to start a new thread. I've got about a dozen flights on the Phenom and absolutely loving it, thanks to Bert for his assistance with the GTN 750. My two payware jet experiences with FSX are: - PMDG (737 NGX, MD-11, 777) - Flight1 (Cessna Mustang) One of the things I've noticed when engaging the autopilot and Flight Level change is a rather abrupt "teetering effect" on the horizon indicator. Scenario: - Take off into the wind (Active Sky Next) with the FD set to 4000 FPM and an initial climb altitude restriction of 6000 ft AGL - Rotate through VR, gear up, flaps up by 150 IAS, thrust set to the lowest TO setting (88/89) - At acceleration height (1000-1500 AGL) pitch down to about 2800-300 FPM and accelerate to about 220 IAS and engage FLC Thanks to Bert's helpful modifications we'll say the speed gets set at 223 IAS. - Decrease thrust to CON, typically about 83/84. - FD will dip from approximately 10-15 degrees to level (even going so far as to cause a momentary negative FPM climb, IAS will rise to the mid 240s - The plane will then rapidly pitch back up to almost 20 degrees, burn that extra IAS off and then seesaw back down to 219 and back up to 225 and then finally settle around 223 IAS. Typically by then I'm clear of 10,000 and I'll accelerate further (usually around 250-260 IAS) through the FL220. Is this normal/expected behavior? Or, am I doing something incorrectly? In watching the great FS Mania videos, when FLCH is engaged that teetering situation doesn't happen. Nor did I witness it in a couple of other YouTube videos (albeit a bit hard to read the speed tape on some of them). - Mark Manacsa Most of the flight simulation community is pretty toxic and gets easily worked up about little things. Just go into it knowing that.
January 12, 20179 yr Author The Carenado autopilot logic for FLC mode is not very robust. If you change the throttle very gently, the autopilot can follow and adjust pitch. If you change abruptly, you cause what you are describing.. Bert

If you change abruptly, you cause what you are describing.. Thanks (yet again) Bert. I suspect that's what is happening. I'm transitioning from TO -> CON -> CRZ too fast. It's really impressive (for better or worse) how quickly the plane will accelerate up to 250kts. - Mark Manacsa Most of the flight simulation community is pretty toxic and gets easily worked up about little things.
