What exactly version of C421C is simulated

[sholay 45]

I know it sounds kind of stupid, but I wonder what year is "source" aircraft?

On eBay and some other sites you can fine various copies of C421C manuals. Typically you can choose a year of make. Hence before investing $30+ I would like to make sure I buy the one I have in my hangar 😉

I know there's one version circulating online but it's poor quality xerox.

I  cant imagine the Carabeo cut it that fine. My guess is that they take a fairly generic view of the aircraft the do. I'd be delighted to be put right though.

From the text in their air.cfg it looks like they had this one in mind with the 375 hp engines, but would agree with Ron and their generic view with aircraft they model.

Thanks anyway, sound helpful.

I was hoping they did it a bit similarly to some other devs, which pick specific plane to model, ie. Aerosoft's Twin Otter.

 

:D

It's a trailing link gear C421C, thus 1980 or later (latest model).
