March 22, 20206 yr Commercial Member Like many I will be spending a lot of time at home for the next several weeks and I saw Carenado is having a sale. Each are only $11.99, a true bargain. They both look great (I luv eye candy). Truly not so much into systems but would like to do a lot of hand flying with one and just relax zipping around the southwest, USA. Any owners out there with which one they prefer (performance, FPS, realistic handling?) Thx.

March 22, 20206 yr Premier. It's faster which is why I like it. Both have GTN user mods if you have that haha. Handling is decent.

March 22, 20206 yr Phenom100 all the way up. Search also in the forum for a recent post about panel modifications to the Autopilot and several instruments to make it work like the real plane, a must have.

March 23, 20206 yr I have the Phenom 100 and use it regularly. The panel mods are nice to have (I don't use them) but not a "must have". If you're ok with the Phenom using mostly default sim gauges, you'll enjoy it.
March 23, 20206 yr Phenom 100 with the Black Phoenix mod. Phenom 300 with Bert's mods. Both need the GTN750. -J 13700KF | RTX 4090 @ 1440 | 64GB DDR5 | 2 x 1TB SSDs | 1TB M.2 NVMe
March 23, 20206 yr Again, you do not "need" the gtn 750 or the mods to operate the Phenom 100 or 300. I use neither in both, and they both operate as advertised.
March 23, 20206 yr For those of you who for some reason missed them, there're new mods for the Phenom 100 and Phenom 300 panels, that in case you want to pilot the Phenoms as close as possible to real life, with the addition of the GTN 750 and 650, can be found here: For Phenom 300: For Phenom 100: Hope you'll enjoy.

Well they don't actually work great with the g1000. The g1000 won't do very well if you fly online. But yeah if you load a p3d flight plan and fly offline it will be fine. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
March 23, 20206 yr I do not have the 390 yet thinking about it, but I do have the Phenom300 and love it. One of the reasons being the interior has huge LCD panels so easy to see the moving map as you fly. Plus it looks really cool outside too. FPS is not a problem at all. Very smooth, but I would imagine both to be this way as they are smaller aircraft.
