January 21, 20224 yr I feel a bit bad for the C337 which was launched and then disappeared under all the Twotter posts. I'll admit it wasn't love at first sight but I'm finding myself exclusively flying the Milviz Porter, the Kodiak and this. Its great to fly, sounds great, looks great - surely this is the best Carenado yet?

In fact despite their reputation their planes for MSFS have been quite good. My main gripe is the long periods of time when the planes have been unusable following a sim update.

I've logged around 160 hours in the FSX/SE version from Carenado and vastly enjoyed it. I has been my FSX go-to model for observation and sightseeing. I have always believed it to be much overlooked and under appreciated. I plan to pick up the MSFS version for some use during my February Caribbean trek.

In fact despite their reputation their planes for MSFS have been quite good. My main gripe is the long periods of time when the planes have been unusable following a sim update. Even if it is better than the Twotter (which I'm not too sure it is) at least the AS Twotter will get plenty of updates to improve it, we'll be lucky to get many updates for the C337 mostly because Carenado move onto the next aircraft and sometimes neglect their earlier releases. I have both aircraft in my hanger by the way so I want both aircraft to be improved going forward.

January 21, 20224 yr I’m really enjoying it also, very fun to fly, I have no real issues with it the way it sits so long as it doesn’t get broken by msfs updates!

January 21, 20224 yr I'll admit it...I'm always going to buy Carenado aircraft because I'm powerless to deny the siren song of their outstanding visuals despite knowing there'll be the inevitable hangover of limited functionality. There. I said it. But the 337 is proving to be the most enjoyable (i.e. least disappointing) of my Carenado purchases. Perhaps Carenado's niche is the VFR-centric environment of MSFS. By-the-numbers PMDG/A2A accuracy will never be Carenado's forte but I think the 337 has found the sweet spot of amazing visuals (pretty much a requirement for MSFS) and an enjoyable daily flyer vibe that doesn't make me regret another 25 bucks I'll never see again.

January 21, 20224 yr I'm not sure if anything needs improving much really. Maybe SU8 will break something, maybe it won't this time. For now, I'm extremely happy with it.

January 21, 20224 yr I have never flown 337 IRL but flight model feels pretty generic to me. Seminole feels more powerful than 337 and it only has 180hp on either side. Yes visuals are great but other than that pretty much typical Carenado. I wish someone like simcoders in XP could make a wrapper and enhance FM for specific Carenado airplanes.
