there's a work around for fixing the clipping of the gauge lights in VR.  this is due to the small 'range=0.1' from the default asobo's LIGHT_ASOBO_Gauge.fx file. if it is adjusted to 0.165, the clipping disappears:

D:\MFS2020\Official\OneStore\fs-base-effects-legacy\effects\LIGHT_ASOBO_Gauge.fx
[LightAttributes.0]
Type=spot
Size=0.0
Range=0.165
Intensity=1.2
Softness=0.0
SpotInner=43.7
SpotOuter=79.152
Volumetric=0
ScatDir=0.0

i sent a tix to carenado about this a while back but they never bothered to fix it.  

THANK YOU kdfw!! This has been irking me for a while.

I am really enjoying this Carenado offering, i just completed a stunning flight down from Inverness - London City, witnessed everything from severe icing in the north, through to breaking through storm clouds just north of Luton. The plane is really nice to fly, and i think my next hop will be over the channel and down through France, with a few stop off's on the way.

Beautiful isn't she? I'm having a blast in her.

For your Channel hop why not land at LFAT Cote D'Opale - really well done, here:

It's not necessarily Off-Topic - it's just in the wrong Thread - that's a purely VR issue - so you guys flying in VR should post that over in the dedicated VR thread - as the lighting in the 2D version of the Carenado Seneca is really quite lovely and free from this VR issue you guys are talking about. That's why Ray Proudfoot split the forum Threads some time ago - because issues in 2D and 3D can have little or no relevance to each other. This is a case in point.

It's a little unfair on the developer if you know what I mean. Hope that makes sense.

I agree and not a Carenado issue either!

It's interesting watching VR take shape - I guess that's the future - you guys are in on the infancy of it - Pioneers, so to speak. 🙂

I’m not being unfair to the developer at all considering this is only happening with my Carenado planes, sure it could be an Asobo or a Microsoft issue but all of the other planes I own do not have this issue, these developers have found a way to not have this problem.

the developer didn't QC the VC using VR.  they know the light issue exists because i filed a ticket on it for the pa44 a while back.

 

but there's an easy work around so people can enjoy the pretty carenado offerings in VR.  i'll get the seneca soon as she's easy on the eyes.

WillFly4Cheese:  when you are done with that PA-34 profile where will you be uploading it?

In a nutshell I'm loving this plane, finally took the plunge and purchased my copy, yep best Carenado release for MSFS so far, lovely sounds! I got the v1.0.1 from the store so don't know what fixes were made.

Does the AP work ok? No Alt Select I see.

It does altitude hold, but automatic climb or descend to set altitude doesn't seem to work, and I think I have seen it isn't actually a feature on the real one.

It does V/S on trim, but it looks like you have to look out for the altitude yourself and turn off V/S when you are there.  I would have expected a warning chime when approaching altitude at least - unless I am doing it all wrong! 😀

It is a great plane though, and the best Carenado I have ever bought.  I hope to get their Navajo and Apache if they are to the same standard.  Not sure why some people had problems with the sounds.  I think they are spot-on!

I got it. Best Carenado yet! Sounds are amazing with headphones on whe  the props arent in sync. The AP works great too! The one problem I have is when I fly a RNAV app I dont get any lateral guidance from the HSI so I gotta always fly to LNAV mins which kinda sucks.
