The outside model is decently detailed and accurate as far as my eye from working around these aircraft can see - It flies like it has some momentum in control, as it should The bad - The sounds! Oh wow. The sounds are maybe not THE worst I've heard in MSFS but certainly in the bottom 2%. It sounds like two sickly Rotax engines recorded through a phone and then compressed. - Scrolling magnetos automatically starts the engines without hitting the starter - Plane instantly starts rolling on the ground and has no momentum - Prop RPM sits at around 4500 (!!!) at full power - Prop controls do nothing in the upper range of power and only allow you to decrease RPM to realistic numbers (under 3000) below about 1/3 power - Drag and overall performance inflight is disappointing. Full flaps + idle gives approximately a 300-500 fpm descent on approach. - Very, very little friction when landing on water. It's difficult to get it below 40 knots. The slowest I could get it on the water with full flap and engines at idle was around 20-25 knots - but once you DO get it slow, it porpoises in and out of the water, sometimes up to about 20 feet before slamming back down - Wake effects are random and sporadic, but mostly not there - At rest the plane sits almost out of the water. The bottom 2 feet of the keel is in whereas the tip floats are up in space - Mixture controls do not cutoff the engine - Did I mention the sounds? Man..... Thank you so much, I do appreciate it. We need more people to speak up and say it how it really is, hopefully it will get fixed. Way too many issues, another rushed product. 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.
December 24, 20214 yr I flew this for several years. The engines, R2800, should sound like the DC6 of PMDG fame...same engine essentially, R2800 except the DC6 has more power (2400hp vs 2100 for the CL215). Maybe the designer will improve it as time passes. I think I will pass for the moment. Dave

January 2, 20224 yr If you bought the CL 215 and did not use it again because of the errors, you should install the latest version of Simmarket (Update from 27.12.2021 - have the same name like the first release version) and especially the community mod (now version 0.24) from Flightsim.to that is available for it. I don't have VR and can't say if the size of the buttons in the cockpit has changed. https://flightsim.to/file/25310/enhanced-roland-laborie-canadair-cl-215https://flightsim.to/file/25310/enhanced-roland-laborie-canadair-cl-215 i7-11700F, RTX 3060, 32 GB RAM, Windows 11
