March 7Mar 7 Looks like Carenado's next aircraft is a King Air 200 (BE20). Appears to be a classic gauge setup. This is generally what they're better at. The PL21 on the Premier was a bust. I'm assuming it will support the usual TDS, PMS GTN avionics and WT GNS 530s. I definitely have some paints in mind if it's paintable. (jpeg compression is pretty bad on these pics but I think it looks decent). I'm guessing the usual good visuals, okay-ish flight model and mediocre sounds hehe. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

Me neither!! 😂🤦🏻♂️ Unless they do their Aerocommander or Turbocommander!! @ryanbatc thanks for the heads up, one look at those steam gauges and I thought “gimme gimme gimme!”. Hopefully you’ll be able to craft some of your awesome repaints for it.
March 7Mar 7 I was pretty good at staying away from Carenado planes so far, but this one will weaken my resolve 🙂

March 7Mar 7 No way, Jose! Im still quite happily flying the AFL KA350 steam gauge in XP. The only KA I’ll buy for MSFS is the Black Square, whenever it comes along.

March 7Mar 7 I’m still waiting for Carenado to fix the C90. (Speed and fuel burn). I don’t want anymore products that can’t be fixed by the community.

That one might never be fixed by the community as it was a contracted aircraft for Microsoft by Carenado. The regular Carenado releases eventually seem to come out at their website (and especially the 2020 versions). Those have unlocked files where people could fix stuff and upload a mod which would also fix the marketplace versions. Then again, Asobo had mentioned on a dev stream that inibuilds would fix a lot of the default aircraft. The H225 is broken even more though now so I'm not sure I believe that claim. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
March 8Mar 8 I'm still on MSFS 2020 with the Black Square analog King Air and I can't see Carenado coming close to that in quality, apart perhaps for eye candy like opening doors and for me that's not a good enough reason to support their business model. Also, there seems to be an intention by Black Square to do a ground up King Air for MSFS 2024. I can't remember the last time I bought a Carnado offering.
March 8Mar 8 what is it that makes the Baron and KingAir so irresistible. don't tell me reliability, usability etc. looks don't count?
