Carenado prop checks

Featured Replies

Good day folks,

Although I have purchased the Carenado Seneca and Skymaster shortly after release only yesterday I did a couple of flights in them. I noticed with both aircraft that when checking props the RPM drop with the propeller lever all the way back is hardly noticable. That is with RPM at 1800 during runup. In flight, with a higher MP and RPM the drop seems larger. Is this normal? I've seen a review of the Seneca where the RPM drop was significantly larger during the prop checks. Also, with the Mooney there is no problem; RPM drop is as expected. Curious about your findings

Cheers, Bert

Carenado produces more stuff for cosmetic effect rather then realism.

Yep.

To be fair. They have gotten better with MSFS. While no where near study level they have taken a step forward a bit with MSFS. They are at least making attempts at this point to make each plane not seem like a cut and paste of the last one

That why we need something like simcoders on top of Carenado add ons!

I agree. But... I posted my findings because in the youtube video below the RPM does drop as expected during the engine runup. So I don't understand why it doesn't work on my install. Look here:

When I do the feathering check at 1500 RPM the RPM drop is hardly noticeable, while in the video the drop is quite large as it should be. Also at 1700 RPM the video shows a great RPM drop; my Seneca doesn't...

The video is somewhat old. Could it be a service update of the sim caused this behaviour? Do any of you experience the same?

The video is from more than a year ago so I think it's more than possible that something has changed in the sim (or in an update from Carenado) between then and now that's adversely effected the prop behaviour.
