They are pretty good though. So the Carenado 210 is out of the hangar for me. It's not a black square or A2A but I've never expected it to be. OK, now I'm mildly intrigued. I would love to have a decent turbo 210. What does this flight model fix, and does the glideslope work with RNAV approaches with vertical guidance - an absolute showstopper for me with the airports I frequent and the amount of instrument flying I do? On the other hand, I know it'll still have the same ol' improper turbocharger leaning issue which will drive me bonkers, so... Scott

Like someone said above, just treat it like a mod that was installed during the last refurb. Happens all the time irl. (although I suppose it may not actually be STC'd...) Update: ChatGPT says that there is an STC for the Garmin GFC 500 autopilot, but nothing about the KAP140...

I'm sure it's very accurate in terms of avionics. You could probably even jump in and fly a CJ4 simulator if you were very familiar with it in MSFS2024. Still very different to flying the real thing though 😉 9950X3D - X870E Aorus Master- TUF 5090 OC - 64GB DDR5 - 1500W HXi - Titan 360 RX LCD - 9100 Pro x 2 - LG 45GX950A - HOTAS Warthog with Ava Base

Well, to me it doesn't belong because of the lack of real world certification. Reason enough for me not to get the plane. I'm also fed up with all the bugs still present in their previous releases. I've decided not to get anything from them again, unless it's an aircraft I really, really like. Cheers, Bert AMD Ryzen 5900X, 32 GB RAM, RTX 3080 Ti, Windows 11 Home 64 bit, MSFS 2024

Scott This user mod addresses the absolutely rediculous weather vaning with the smallest of crosswinds. I basically cannot use full takeoff power in the 210 without this mod. Let's see I think the lpv gp does show up but I may be using another mod for that of which I can send you as that's just a freeware one. I think the turbo bug still exists on this plane. EDIT: CCM has mentioned his mod fixes the turbocharger logic bug!

Carenado will find enough sales in the entry/Xbox beginner market, unfortunately not from me anymore, I hate to say. Yes, I am myself much more selective now in purchasing the Carenado a/c in MSFS than e.g., the indiscriminate acquisitions in my FSX days, partly because many are just iterations of the (same) FSX versions. I still recall the days when Carenado was giving away a/c free (for publicity) with some scenery packages. They are still around and thriving after decades, with no signs of fizzling out in the near future. Xbox beginners (yours truly …🙂…excluded) are not the only ones because of whom they are still in business, but also because of simmers like (and within) ourselves. Being possibly the only (known) serious …🙂… Xbox simmer around here, I can say that the Xbox kids (and teens) outside do not go for Carenado GA a/c, knowing personally one… Just my thoughts…not that I disagree with anything said above… There is one such (Carenado) thread here once in a while…as I recall…

It’s not anything like flying IRL. Grab one of the racing sims and see how it compares to driving IRL. doesn’t mean flight/racing simulation isn’t realistic, and valuable for IRL familiarization/training, but we musnt delude ourselves that a desktop 2D screen sitting entirely stationary on terra firma is any sort of “96%” accurate experience. 🤙

I felt like the new kid in school who doesn't know all the inside jokes. Looks like I have to go to his patreon and join, which is fine as it's inexpensive enough, but that channel is, um... chaotic? Or maybe I'm just old and not of that culture. Or something. 4 hours ago, Bert Pieke said: Hi Scott, cannot help with the flight model, but here are HSI fixes for the C210 and F33 Bonanza. Thanks, as always Bert. That may actually convince me get the F33. I badly miss the A2A V35B, and while not a V35 (and DEFINITELY not A2A), it would fill a bit of that void with the older style panel. Will have to think on this a bit, as I swore to myself that I wouldn't go down the Carenado rabbit hole again. You guys are bad influences! 🙂 Scott
