February 5, 20188 yr Hi Folks, Alabeo Cessna C310R Carenado Pilatus PC-12 Carenado Piper Cheyenne Regards, Scott
February 5, 20188 yr Just started up my (customized ) Carenado F33 Bonanza again and love it Alabeo Seminole with Flight1 G500 is pretty nice too.. Bert
February 5, 20188 yr Strictly a GA flyer and, I confess, something of a Carenado/Alabeo word not allowed. Other than the RealAir Duke B60 the only aircraft I regularly fly are: 1. Carenado PA-31T Cheyenne II 2. Carenado PA-31 Navajo 3. Alabeo Cessna 310R Really looking forward to the Alabeo Cessna 421C. When the Golden Eagle has landed I suspect it will replace the Navajo in my hangar. It was a great aircraft in RW and if Alabeo does a good job on it... Well, we shall see. Jesse Jesse Cochran"... eyes ever turned skyward" P3D v5.3 Professional, Windows 10 Professional, Jetline GTX, Gigabyte Aorus X299 Gaming 7 mobo, i7 7740X @ 4.9 GHz, Corsair H115i Liquid Cooling, 32Gb SDRAM @ 3200MHz, Nvidia GeForce GTX1080Ti @ 11 GB ORBX Global + NALC, ASP3D, ASCA, ENVTEX, TrackIR, Virtual-Fly Yoko Yoke, TQ6+, Ruddo+ Rudder Pedals
February 6, 20188 yr Hi Folks, LOL - I think we're all onboard for the C421 - looks like Alabeo completely revamped their website - so even though the C421 seems to be taking a bit longer than usual - it doesn't appear they are going anywhere... Regards, Scott
February 6, 20188 yr I love the new v2 version of the S550 with built-in GTN integration. Everything just works out of the box (finally). I can't stop flying it.
February 6, 20188 yr Being a Beech kind of guy, I like the A36, B58 and the B200... but, using X-Plane 11, they each suffer the current incompatible nav database problem. I'm looking forward to flying them again in the future when Carenado nav can read X-Plane 11file format. I fly XP 10.5 when flying these planes currently. KBPilot
February 10, 20188 yr Favorites: Pc-12 (Bert's Mods) C90Gtx (Bert's Mods) C690B (Whamil Mods) Gotta mod these Carenado birds, so they fly almost as pretty as they look.
February 11, 20188 yr My Favourites (in order of flight time): Carenado T182T Carenado 172SP Skyhawk G1000 Carenado Phenom 100/Phenom 300 (I fly them both about the same amount of time) Carenado SR22 Alabeo DA40 Alabeo M20R Ovation Mike Mann
February 11, 20188 yr Just added the AC690B with (Bill) Whamil Mods to my list of favorites. This aircrafts performance is spot on with the numbers and a real joy to fly!

Got the performance of a real supremme Commander.... Hard to beat!
February 20, 20188 yr As surprising as this may sound to some, the Carenado aircraft I have used the most are the C172 and the C182, both with the G1000. In fact, sat fall I used these aircraft for Aerosoft's latest around the world flight. I used the 172 for the legs from London to Yokohama, and the 182 for the rest of the legs back to London. This ordinarily would not have been my choice for this type of trip, but I was trying to use this in conjunction with Air Hauler 2, which only allowed me a default 172. I cheated and swapped the Carenado 172 with the G1000 and synthetic vision. After abandoning the Air Hauler aspect (which was a lousy program for this type of trip), I switched to the 182 because there were several legs from Yokohama to San Francisco which simply were outside of the range of the 172. For all the grumbling, I actually found Carenado's current G1000 to be competitive with some of the other G1000s out there, including Flight 1's G1000, especially since Flight 1 has not updated its 182 to the latest versions of Prepar3d. While the Carenado G1000 does not have all the functions of the real world G1000, none of the other G1000s do, either. The game changer for these aircraft is the synthetic vision. Many may not see the value of synthetic vision, but it is a Godsend. If you are trying to fly into a low visibility airstrip (like a dirt strip in the Arabian desert), the G1000 coupled with synthetic vision makes locating and landing at these strips a breeze. My main beef is that many of these remote airstrips do not appear in the Carenado database (or at least they go under different names). This combination is also useful for night landings and bad weather landings. In some parts of the world, airstrips are few and far between and weather can really sneak up on you. One of the more interesting segments of the trip was flying the "Hump" in a C172 from Assam to China. Another surreal challenge was flying from Yokohama to San Francisco, via the Kamchatka peninsula and the Aleutian chain. Anyone who has not tried flights like these in a small GA aircraft is missing out on a fascinating experience. Thomas J. Streak
