Flying it now in 2024 Beta 3 1.5.10.0.  Hard to find, worth the search.  Pretty sweet for FREE

Very nice!

Can't wait for the new C210!

I have high hopes for the 210T which will be a full Carenado release. This one is junk.  It's free so don't take my word for it but, well, it's not for me. And certainly not given the Pipers I already have. 

My understanding is this is a Carenado release also.  Sorry it does not fit your personal taste but to say it’s “Junk” is a bit hyperbolic IMO.  AP and Twin Garmins working fine for me in flight.  Even has VS and Altitude Capture.

YMMV TANSTAAFL -B

Is this the last of the “apologies for the launch” freebies?

I sure hope so. I haven't kept a single one of them.

I'm afraid I have already tried and disabled it. Very poor and lazy offering with lots of things not working properly.

What?  It's a decent bird.  Well equipped flies pretty well, nice sounds.  Obviously the usual superb visuals.

It is missing the LPV glide path though from what I can tell.  I didn't try an ils yet though.  I already emailed them about that.

I learned to fly in piper fixed gear low wings so I am very happy to have this.

So did I and Just Flight nailed it. 

Weird I saw a developer update on Steam saying it is $15 on the marketplace.

It is for MSFS2020. For 2024 it's free.

You mean Payware for MSFS2020 and Freeware for MSFS2024?

Yup. They shouldn't charge anyone really.

No, we still will be getting one more. Only three have been released thus far.

I like JF but their original piper stuff is really dated.  I like to have superb visuals.

I just don't understand why you hate carenado so much.  You're not going to A2A quality for Carenado prices.  They still make nice flying aircraft.

This is extremely far from junk.  I've purchased addons that look a lot worse for much more money (than free or even 15 USD!)

Where did I say I hated Carenado??

I think the F33A is special. I also like the 182Q. The full Carenado offerings are always pretty good to excellent 

But as I've said elsewhere, the free ones just feel like the contractual obligation they are and are rushed with little attention to detail. They look nice but that's about it. 

But I do not hate Carenado, far from it. I'm hoping the 210T will be up there with the F33A which I think is the best aircraft Carenado have ever done.
