Carenado planes are excellent as far as I'm concerned. Sure, they have a few minor bugs, but what they do within the limits of FS is remarkable. Most of the FS planes and even some other payware offerings are ridiculous compared to at least the Carenado planes I have (C206, C210, C182Q, PA46T, A36, C90B). Having RW experience in most of these planes, I can say they are about as good as they can get visually and as their flight model goes. A few minor issues doesn't detract from their overall awesomeness. Besides, most of the issues I have been able to tweek out through trial and error or from the help of everybody here. That said, I wish I could manually feather the prop during an engine failure without a bunch of monkey-motion on the C90. Or get the Autofeather to work.

Right, first of all that is a picture of a Bendix/King EHSI (EFS 40/50), and second, it is in LOC mode, not GPS mode. The Collins EFIS-84 EHSI installed in the RW C90B changed the CDI pointer white when in GPS (LNAV) mode. It was green in VOR/LOC mode.

I had a gear failure after about 10 hrs in mine. I had 3 green lights, but on roll-out my right main failed. haven't had any problems since then...Ive got roughly 60 hrs with it now.

Okay, Duh. I figured it out....I've been tweaking my planes for years, should've been able to do this. I kept missing the Maximum Mach in the reference speed section of the .cfg. It was set at .4...I changed it to .46 and now the pole is spot on.

Bump. I want to preface my issues by saying that I love all my Carenado aircraft, and the C90 is my favorite. I use my King Air to practice procedures used in the real aircraft. My first concern would be the unrealistic ITT and torque behavior. On an ISA +0 day, the ITT should start to max out somewhere around 10,000 to 12,000 ft MSL, and the torque should start slowly dropping off. So, instead of being torque limited, we would now be ITT limited. I realize this is probably a limitation of FSX, but it would be nice to find a way to make it work. Next is prop feathering during an engine failure. Auto-feather doesn't work on mine, and manual feather is very awkward, at least the way I do it. Just using the mouse pointer to grab and pull the prop lever back into the feather detent doesn't work for me, it just goes to low RPM. I have to hit Ctrl+F2 then grab and pull the prop lever into feather, which, of course, brigs the other prop back a bit, too. Not very cool...and I need three hands unless the auto pilot is on. When in GPS mode, the EHSI course pointer should change course automatically always matching the GPS course. At least that's the way all the RW EHSI's I've always used functioned including the Collins EHSI depicted in the C90. And it's been a few years, but I do think it's supposed to be white. Thanks

The Carenado C90 does have an incorrect Barber Pole. I did some quick and dirty figures and since the MMO is .46, then at FL210 on a ISA +0 day the Barber Pole should be at about 205 KTS. At FL260 it should have fallen to 185 KTS. This is why the Blackhawk conversions for the C90 dont have to change any airspeed limitations. The higher temp limits on the conversion allows the engine to make rated power much higher than the old engines, pushing the True Airspeeds much higher while not exceeding the MMO. The Carenado C90's Barber Pole calibration is not accurate, and would not allow you to go any faster. The Barber Pole has nothing to do with Va or Max Turbulent Air Penitration speed. Of course the Carenado C90 already has the conversion built in because FSX doesn't drop the ITT as you climb like the RW C90. I assume thats why they have the pole limit the airspeed at a lower value, so it has the same max cruise as the RW airplane. I wish I knew how to fiddle with this, anyone have any suggestions?
