I’m trying to reduce my buying habits somewhat, so just wondering what I’d get with this aircraft that I don’t already have with the Centurion ?

I feel like I've been burned so many times - Carenado's work is always beautiful from the outside, but has been buggy and lacking in the cockpit... I'm again tempted, but going to wait for more reviews about this before deciding...

Welded gear 😄

I'm in exactly the same boat. I know people are seeing (and pointing out) some good firsts for Carenado with this, but I'm seeing things like (i) exactly the same panel that's in so many of their other aircraft, (ii) same KFC225 autopilot that's in everything, etc. Even with the new features I don't think it will float my boat. I have their 210 and fly it for about 5 minutes per year. Just too 'samey' as an aircraft type. Flying Carenado these days just feels soulless, compared to Black Square, A2A, COWS, etc.

206 has passenger, cargo, tundra, amphibian and skydiving variants. The Centurion is just passenger. I bought the 206 mainly because I wanted the amphibian and cargo variants.

I won't buy it because I only fly the HJET but was impressed by the fact that this is the first Carenado review where someone actually liked the FM. Only $20.

My impression is that their products are visually appealing, inside and out. However, I think a few shortcomings could be addressed relatively easily by adjusting certain configuration files.

For that reason, I'm not interested in the Marketplace versions. Some of those files are protected, which prevents users from making further adjustments to suit their preferences. There may also be other limitations or inconveniences associated with selling products through the Marketplace.

I suspect I am not the only customer who feels this way. Regardless, I believe the developers would be better served by offering their products through their own store as well as the Marketplace. Why limit themselves to a single distribution channel when they could offer both options?

Letting customers choose where they buy their products would give those who prefer greater flexibility the option to make their own adjustments, while still accommodating customers who prefer the Marketplace's convenience. In my view, offering both options could broaden their customer base and potentially increase overall sales.

Just flew the standard wheel pasenger version in Eastern Canada out of Gander & executed a very clean ILS 3-point "autoland" on Rwy 27 at CYJT. Achievable in calm conditions when you are delicate with the flaps & throttle.

Also trying to learn the EDM.

With the number of variants I feel it is worth what is being charged. Very versatile package.
