June 30, 2025Jun 30 If anyone picks this up, please provide your thoughts. Lots of fantastic planes/heli’s arriving in July! This one might be tempting as well especially with it being 2024 native. Maybe time to retire the C182RG. https://msfsaddons.com/2025/06/30/carenado-releases-the-cessna-ct210n-turbo-centurion-for-microsoft-flight-simulator/
June 30, 2025Jun 30 It is a very nice airplane, but like other Carenado releases, it has some avionics bugs.. which may or may not be fixed.. Their record is spotty.. I activated the TDS GTN 750/650 and found that the VOR2 gauge in the airplane does not switch GPS/VLOC when the GTN650 switches. It just stays in whatever mode it happens to be in.. Not good. See the screenshot below. Edited June 30, 2025Jun 30 by Bert Pieke Bert

That’s very disappointing especially since IFR flying is essential for a plane flying to altitudes above 10,000 feet. Let’s hope they fix it, but I’ll put this one into the wait and see category before purchasing.

The wx radar blue text/arcs is a little bright but nothing like your pic.

July 1, 2025Jul 1 @Bert Pieke The LPV GP is hidden too far up like the F33. It does eventually come down though when you establish on the GP. Can you fix this on your end? Also some totally obvious bugs hehe - ***the avionics stack is is the wrong spot and the GTNxi's overlap...sigh - not sure how they missed this one. ***The EDM 800 CHT/EGT readouts bounce around like crazy. I don't recall the real one doing that in flight with cruise power set. (video in link) https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mgn5o4ieplngtpo09hvwb/edm800C210.mp4?rlkey=ul36xegusp52vzqnxx6nqil2b&st=kvo72hnk&dl=0 ***The left flood light knob doesn't seem to do anything. The only way to turn on flood lamps is to press L (when using 2020 key commands preset). The right knob does work. Along those same lines I don't observe any instrument cluster lighting (the posts are there you can see, but no light on the main panel gauges). I will be emailing Carenado but I want to see if there are any other bugs.
