is this add-on a joke?

[Chris202 0]

after watching "Flying with Rich" latest episode about the limited edition cirrus, he stating that this is the best selling general aviation airplane in the world. so I was happy to jump and try it out in the simulator. bad call

I switched from A2A Comanche which is an awesome add-on albeit a little tasking in fogged in Alaska. 

this Carenado sr22 is a complete junk, it's full beta, simply not a release ready product.

• The CDI in GPS mode does not work does not show
• the right screen stucks and does weird things all the time like buttons not working as 5 minutes ago or stuck in weather mode and unable to bring back the main map.
• alphabetical keyboard working or not. it depends
• AP speed hold mode completely off
• AP logic clearly buggy
• can't steer the airplane on the ground without braking The so-called immersive HD sounds have clear looping artifacts and all in all just very weak and lackluster. 
• flight model is lame and arcade like.

 

yet what I see is still sold on simmarket for 40 Euros, the latest version being 2020 or before.

also some other Carenado products I tried are the phenoms, which aren't that bad, at least the g1000 works normally without the horrible navigraph add-on...so Coronado does have a limited but working g1000 addon.

how is this possible, what's going on in the simulator addon market? why aren't these bugs corrected especially if they have a working code? why aren't they called out on this forum by the administrators? guys its 2022
