What are the current issues with the Seminole?  I really want to get this plane, but have been holding out to make sure it gets fixed.

The mag switches are messed up. You cannot run a mag check by turning off one mag, it just shuts off both at the same time and the engine stops. You can still fly it, just no mag check. I think there was one other minor problem, but can't remember it at the moment.

Thanks.  It's good in that it's not game-breaking, but it's bad in that it raises the question of whether they are going to bother to fix it.  Guess I will wait a bit longer and see what happens.

From Carenado FB, 2h before:

UPDATES

The following aircraft were updated and already available at Microsoft Marketplace.

They are now fully operational again after they get broke because of the last Microsoft Software Update 5.

CT182 Skylane (PC and now Xbox version)

PA28R Arrow III (PC and now Xbox version)

PA34T Seneca V (PC version and working on the Xbox version)

We continue working on M20R Ovation.

PA44 Seminole was already submitted.

We hope to have them in the marketplace soon.

The Seminole update has seen the light of day, but nothing more re, the M20… anyone on FB or wherever with further information on the Mooney?

@Carenado

TIA- C

Ya I’m wondering why an update hasn’t been released yet for M20, it’s been a while. I’m enjoying the Seneca but do miss the Mooney.

The Seminole has real rudder control issues on take-off.. is this as good as it is going to be?

I don’t know about the Seminole, but the Seneca is working fine. 

The Mooney is the one I miss the most. Can't understand why it is taking so long.

Neither can I. Maybe it didn't sell very well?

The Mooney is annoying as Neoflight prices them stupidly cheaply, less to put online than a c152, making them a great early career option if they were just flyable. As a relatively tame/forgiving easy to land fast single they would be great.   You can of course buy them and hand them off to AI hired pilots and make a fortune though.

I think the WMF5 is "as good as they ever intend to make it" - it is what it is.

The c170 is interesting to compare with the c140 from aeroplane heaven. The Carenado gets a lot more complaints about ground handling and bouncing, whereas the c140 is pretty tame for a tail dragger.  They both seem to have very similar electrical issues though, which in part do seem more sim related and not Carenado or Aeroplane heavens fault. For example both planes in real life use a single switch to connect the battery and enable the generator at the same time. You cannot have one turned on without the other turned on . This seems to really mess things up in game, as a lot of external devices have separate switches and you can have one on and the other off.

It seems to be a lot of peoples favourite MSFS Carenado from reading the forums. 

When asked how long it would take on their Facebook page they replied - 'Because that one was one of our first aircraft, they need much more reconditioning ......'

Don't have any rudder control issues with the Seminole. Try slowly increasing the throttle, rather than giving it full throttle from a standstill. 

Again- UNTIL @Asobo forces developers like @Carenado to be more accountable it will not happen.  The counter to that point is that MSFSMP needs to become a timely conduit of distribution, otherwise it will never blossom into what it could be. The current situation allows for the developer to engage in finger-pointing, blaming and obfuscation- which is bad for the consumer.

@Carenado has a long history of "pretty mediocrity", and I keep hoping (probably against hope) that they WANT that to change... they were always bailed out by the likes of @Bert Pieke et al, but this time their shortcomings cannot be made up for- and they remain illuminated for what they are.

Well articulated brother. 😀

Thursday night approaching in the UK.  So I hold out hope for some more marketplace updates. 

Will the Mooney be there?  Maybe not based on Carenado's last communication.

Shame about the Ju-52 being delayed also.  I was looking forward to giving that a go around the Alps.
