Very Nice !

Anyone try it?

On their facebook page, one reported that that's a FPS eater but i think this post was deleted.....

I'll sit on the fence this time.

 

Still waiting for their latest promised patch for the Navigraph extension in the Phenom 300 since October.

I sent them a video, they acknowledged and promised they would release a new patch in days. When I contacted them recently about the same issue, they said they had no date for a new release.

I will consider this C90 only if the feedback is mostly positive.

A frame hog? This was expected, not the worst of my concerns honestly.

Given that the Proline 21 in the Hawker still has serious deficiencies and is only usable with Bert's GTN 750 mod, I will give this one a miss. And I'm still waiting for the Phenom 300 fix as well...

Hi Folks,

 

Yep - recently I was all set to pick up the 550 Cessna (always been a fan of the straight wing jets) with the FMC update - hoping Carenado had changed in my extended absence - having been burned by Carenado before - I did my due diligence and researched the product - I read that you can't program airways into the FMC which are available in the real world one... I guess they just really don't get what draws many of us to this hobby - realistic performance and systems operation... LOL - it's such a shame - same old story - beautiful pretty models with half baked FDE and systems... Granted - the newest Carenado aircraft I own is the PC-12 which - thankfully - I picked up on sale as I'd be pretty unhappy paying full price for light models... I'll wait for MilViz to satisfy my King Air needs with their 350i...

 

I'll follow along for feedback...

 

Carenado - prove me wrong - please !!!

:wink:

 

Regards,
Scott

Hard to believe the autopilot is not implemented correctly.. how often do we

have to repeat this?

Can you only get the $10 discount if you have bought the previous C90 directly from Carenado ?

No, everywhere. But you'll have to buy the new version from the same reseller where you bought the steam version. Meaning, you'll have to wait, because currently it is only available on their own site.

Thanks Ryan.

Not very encouraging, unfortunately.

I have the problem that on ground the Kingair starts rolling even with zero power. You need the parking brakes to get the bird stopping and one in the air the enginges stopped working after 3-5 minutes and the power reduce to zero....looks like an engine shut down....any ideas??

 

Cheers,

Mark

Carb Heat bug?

 

Try Ctrl-H.

I just got this as well and the autopilot needs a little work. VNAV not working. Also on the 2 flights (engine dies) I got a low oil pressure, left engine N1 drops. The first time it happened right after take off, the second time it happened 15 minutes into the flight.

 

I've never flown with this type of FMS so everything is new to me and probably why VNAV isn't following ALT constraints. Other than what Ryan has mentioned, its a really nice aircraft with good FPS.

 

You also don't need the C90 to get the $10 discount, any previously purchased aircraft seemed to work. I tried to use my PAYPAL but the discount wouldn't show so I used my CC directly and got the discount. For now only Carenado sells it on their website.

[ryanbatc 12,800]

I've got the engine failure too.

 

Left engine condition lever drops down and when I bring it up it drops down again lol argh
