January 9, 20224 yr 46 minutes ago, turbomax said: is this for FSX or MSFS? the window frames seem way too thick, the yoke reminds me of FSX graphics? yea the rear facing posts are a bit much I'd agree, but the forward ones seem just fine, to me anyway. But, if you've ever owned one of these guys' planes you'd know that the graphics and artistry are not their true wheelhouse, although they still do a better job in this category than other payware devs. Their claim to fame, IMO, is the love & attention that they give to the functionality and usefulness of their aircraft, unlike the other 3rd party you mentioned which is mostly about the aesthetics. This one will likely be a purchase for me. Dave Kalin Excel Classes Computer Lessons

The owner and pilot of this plane is a tech advisor to Flysimware, and so the modeling and sounds have been based on many many pictures and measurements of the actual aircraft.

January 9, 20224 yr Often times it takes some artistic fiddling to get things to render inside the sim, as intended, beyond what the real world numbers say. Dave Kalin Excel Classes Computer Lessons
January 9, 20224 yr Cabin class piston twin heck ya! We're going to have accurate flight modeling finally!

Al No offense but I've purchased and own a couple of their aircraft offerings over the years for FSX so I'm already quite familiar with their strong points as developers, as I've previously mentioned, as well as their not-so strong points, IMO. My post was actually quite flattering so I don't see the need for you to be so defensive for I was merely agreeing with someone over an artistic perception. Dave Kalin Excel Classes Computer Lessons

Not defensive, just trying to get some facts out for those not familiar with Flysimware, and for those that are familiar with Flysimware from the FSX and P3D days, to point out some significant changes have taken place lately, such as the use of a well known 3rd party texturing company. The C414 for MSFS is the first plane textured for Flysimware by this company. Regards, Al Edited January 9, 20224 yr by ark
January 9, 20224 yr @ryanbatcund Oh my goodness, his response wreaks of it. Regardless, I stand by my opinion in my postings about it. I enjoy their work very much as they do give lots of attention to detail and I always enjoy their offerings and get a kick out of flying them, even though IMO the graphics have never been their strong point.

This looks great to me and based on my experience with their G44A Widgeon for MSFS, I'll definitely be procuring this. 👍 "That's what" - She

Carenado must be the Uber-top-notch outfits then. Carenado *are* great at visual modelling and always have been. It's the rest of the plane where they frequently fail to come up to scratch.
