Ray, thank you so much for this! Great news! Cheers, Andreas

Hello dear fellow simmers, I have a request, I am flying mainly in europe. Included in the SenecaV package are lots of N-regs, which I am happy with to use, but I just LOVE these two southamerican liveries, the PT- / PR- .... Now my question, I am normally capeable to do re-registrations into european regnumbers by myself, but from the TBM850 on Carenado made these textures very tricky to edit, as the regs are nearly allways cut-between, the SenecaV is no exception. Maybe anyone more skyillfull than me can look at these two brilliant liveries if he might do two fictional N-regs or even two european regs out of them?! That would be realy great! Thanks for any help in advance and happy flying!

Hi, Skysongs other addon-sounds like for the Baron or Twin-Cessnas are even better than his seneca-sounds! Doing no commercials here, just telling from my well-worth purchases. Cheers and I am enjoying the Seneca VERY, VERY much here!

I don´t have P3D in any version, so I cannot give an answer, sorry!

Hi, I exchanged the original seneca-V sounds with the "Skysong Soundworks Seneca HD FSX soundset" and I am very pleased with it! It is payware at Fspilotshop.

Hi everybody, been pretty keen on this release, but my question is about the FPS impact because all of that glass inside again?! Anyway compareable to the Jetprop or TBM? Any info would be very appreciated! Cheers!

Hi all, just needed to get this bird (SP1) allthough the majority was upset about the bad performance and stutters that show up even when sitting on ground like a duck without moving, that was no exception to me. I have a rather old pc with an "old" quad 9550 and GTX 285. I though seem to have managed to find a way to get my good FPS back, rather compareable to the TBM850! It seems to be the incorporated WX radar! This is what you could try yourself: 1.) Go to your root FSX directory (not the Gauges-folder) 2.) Rename the files CMeteoXml.dll and CMeteoXml.dll.intermediate.manifest to CMeteoXml.dll.bak and CMeteoXml.dll.intermediate.manifest.bak This removes the incorporated G1000 WX radar out of that aircraft! 3.) Restart your PC to ensure dll´s are offloaded correctly 4.) It also seems to help (in my case) to allways toggle full and windowed screen after choosing the Phenom out of the menu! That´s it ... maybe worth a try and if you´re not satisfied you can allways switch bak by removing the "bak" extension off these two files again! But as allways try at your own risk! Happy flying and cheers!

Me too, no intrests to buy a full price for just a new interior! The initial Carenado 208 with Bernt´s new FDE is perfect still. The Piper Mirage is another story, it is completely different to the turbine version and a great fun to fly!

Hi, I don´t think it will be possible as the frames and knobs for the gauges of the Collins avionics are hardcoded into the model of the VC. That means you maybe could (?) exchange the inner gauge with the Aspen, but the frame of the Collins will still show up arround of it, which will withdraw a real appearence. If it would be working in this case it would look surely cool!

Thanks very much for that very detailed review ... where´s my credit-card .... oh got it ... gone to the shop! ;-)

WOW! Thank you Carenado for listening to us! That is what I call support! Cheers! :drinks:

Hi, that is a wonderfull developement steam AND glass! Great Carenado! Count me in NOW! Thank you! :drinks:

Hi Matthew, do you have put any custom tweaks or changes in the FSX.cfg file? It looks like the resolution of these Glass Panels are drawn way too small. Did you enable all options in the FSX-menue for the cockpit? Maybe you can try to run FSX with a fresh FSX.cfg, which means paste it out of the folder and let FSX rebuilt a new one in order to see if the problem still occurs. Keep your original FSX.cfg in a save place so that you could go back any time. Let´s see what happens!

Hi Dirk, it must be described in the RXP configuration tool or in its help file I think.

When using EZDOK you should run the FSX configurator prior to using it with the aircraft.

Hi Richard, I got my self used to press "D" to correct the drift when lined up to the Runway, a step I normally IRL do by "screwing in" the HSI in that state of flight. I don´t know what causes the difference in the sim, in my experience it is NOT ONLY Carenado related ... it happens to various other payware addons in my hangar too from time to time. It also occurs in Glass cockpit gauges like the TBM´s! Disabling the compass-gyro-drift in FSX did NOT help in my case, it still occurs. Hope this helps a bit!

Bert, did you delete the FSX.cfg and did a fresh rebuilt of that?! I know SP2 was allready checked, but these kind of anomalies very often had something to do with the FSX Service packs being missed :blink: ... strange!

Hi, for my feeling it is only the layer for the Airspace-Zone-Lines, after Decluttering to -1 or -2 these lines are removed and for me this shifting is gone. Using Dx9. Regarding the constant updating of the map ... I don´t know maybe it is a "feature" that this unit doesn´t need to fill in the complete map but only parts of it in a certain put in range value to inhibit a large overflow of data in FSX and causing stutters?! Try to enlarge some range values in the Menu of the G1000, maybe the refreshing will get less ... for my taste and PC-power I will not touch these things as I am happy to have a flyable G1000 plane again in my hangar! :rolleyes:

Hi, for my experience the whole NG% - section of the engines seems a bit off. 1.) When you are on top lets say FL290 or even higher, NG drops pretty fast compared to the manual. It starts getting inaccurate at about FL240. 2.) If you do a descent ... you normally retard the Power-lever just a bit, you will see TRQ decrease but no NG% in this bird, shouldn´t it decrease too?! It will stay rather long at about 99,6% and only drop drastically when pulling power so much back till you will hear the gear-extension-warning. I have never flown a real PT6-A66D engine but this behavior seems pretty let´s say "unfamiliar" to what you would like to expect, if you compare to the PT6-A21 you have in the Malibu ... please some RW TBM flyers can correct me?! But nevertheless, I really like this plane very much, I really hope Carenado can lend Bernt´s hand again for this to look after a bit!

Allready did!

Hi, just extract the cab into a folder with a zip manager like winrar or 7-zip. rename the folder just like the cab-file , just without the .cab ending. Rename the original .cab-file into .org , do the edits in the extracted folder, put it back into the FSX\gauges-folder. FSX will use the folder instead of the .cab file, no re cabbing is needed, no performance loss to fear, no problem, doing it this way since release of FSX ^_^ .

Yep Bob .... tell us please :rolleyes:

NG 54% at flightidle and condition high is actually the perfect value for low idle condition according to the manual ... so there seems to be a missmatch?!?

Hello dear Carenado, your new improvement of the actual TBM G1000 is WAY better and lighter regarding the performance and FPS. Compared to the Cirrus performance it is like comparing a VW Golf with a Ferrari B) ! The Cirrus is such a beautifull and long awaited beauty, just it´s overall computer performance that MUST be in relation with the G1000 is so distracting and thus I grounded it for this reason.I guess I speak of a lot of customers here ... please, after the TBM is patched up correctly, give your former G1000 releases , the T182T and the Cirrus an updated G1000 to get these birds back out of the hangar into the sky! Thanks for listening and thanks you for all these fine products! :Hug: Cheers!

Hi there, don´t know if I am the only one, but I checked twice my calibrations ... on startup you cannot see NG rise up to 11-13 % to give Low Idle condition, it stays at 0%! Also the NG shows about 54% instead of 69% in Flight-Idle-Power and High-Idle Conditon after full engine start up according to the manual. Maybe this could also be the cause that this bird needs some power lever movement to get her rolling instead of the common self roll on behavior it should show like most turboprops, as at about 69% NG it is indeed having a roll on!? And whatever I try to do in 850-mode I cannot seem to get this bird higher than 295kts TAS in leveled position. Tried various FL´s ... no chance. It is mostly about 15 kts below the TAS in the books / manual. Hope this will be fixed! Besides these fixable things it is a really beauty that will stay in my hangar! Great addon IMHO! Cheers!
