Carenado Seneca Released

[regis9 4,014]

Announced over at FS Elite...

If it can only be purchased on the MS store then I'm out. Encrypted flight model editing is for the birds

The two other Carenados are both AOG in MSFS2020, with multiple issues, as far as I can glean from forums so I certainly wouldn't even entertain the idea of buying this one at this stage.

And as Hangar says - if it's on Market Place then it's a no no anyway. Trouble installing liveries, etc

Not being able to tinker with Carenado's aircraft's flight models puts anything by them out of bounds for me.

That's three good reasons not to purchase. One would have been enough.

Alan has a lot of work on today 😄

I'm not sure - It would be great if he could take it for a flap but I wouldn't blame our tame resident test pilot for giving this one a miss.

I’ll get it.  

There’s always something to grip about just the same I wanted this bird in FS and the Saratoga, it is what it is.  I’ll get the Hawker and Malibu when they come out as well since no other developer is doing these birds.  I can’t justify the hatred for this company when the same people  (myself included) bought the 737MAX.  The cockpit is basically word not allowed but acceptable since no other option for this bird is available at this time. Carenado has the best looking models for what they do and patches have improved their initial releases.  Are they perfect, no but neither is Asobo.  For me it’s the shortcomings of FS2020 itself with regression with each monthly patch and a joke of an ATC system that’s the real problem.  Heck, Asobo screwing  up the scenery draw distance was major for me.  So all this is nothing to write home about.  With all that being said FS2020 on its worst day with add-ons like what Carenado offers is better than all the other options out there combined.  Everything else is ‘Cartoon Simulator’ at this point. So I’ll buy this bird because I like this aircraft in general and knowing Carenado’s standard it’ll look great in FS2020.

...this statement could actually be their motto. J/K

Correct me if I’m wrong but this bird seems to be the first release to properly simulate feathering a prop.  The ability to spin is nice as well.

What do you mean by "properly"? their PA44 did it too

"I’ll get it. "

I got it. the moment it was released. it is slightly more complex than the previous PA-44

"is for the birds"

Birds like me,

I fly only in VR, and for that the Carenados are fantastic. don't need "study level" and VNAV in each and every airplane, but I do need best texturing and modeling possible for total VR immersion. just did a few short flights all on autopilot from 11S-KFHR-KORS-CYVR in moderate rain and low lying patches of misty clouds. it all felt so incredibly real. thank you Carenado for another very enjoyable "Harley Davidson" style vintage twin with analog instruments! and no, I  am not affiliated with them whatsoever, I simply confess I love them.

That’s why I said, ‘correct me if I’m wrong’.  For a crappy developer by some individual’s standard this is a pretty nice feature no one else is doing (yet).

No rest for the wicked eh? Downloading it now, review on the way later on, at some point I will make that curry I was planning. 🤣

Thanks for that.

Ugh. The audio sounds are abysmal. That's a big no from me

Basically, does it do it in the air? - and if it does, does the drag/ aerodynamics numbers reflect that through airspeed, yaw, etc.
