(SKRG) Medellin - Colombia

Finally, I've been dreaming for that to happen for ages ... they are converting their FS version to X-Plane ! This sleek, fast PT6 powered turboprop will be a must have I'm sure, with very good performances at mid-high altitudes, IFR equipped, complete AP etc ... It will be a nice complement to the excellent stock one Tom Kyler has done for X-Plane 10 I think this Carenado is my most wanted one, as with the C208 ! ( Images from their Facebook page >>> https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.538615599548592.1073741875.129839447092878&type=1 ) Top notch quality graphics as usual , the sounds should be nice too ! I hope the systems will be simulated enough to be enjoyable !

Has anyone repainted A320 Neo Ground Equipment - Was going to do various Fuel suppliers and Airport Airstairs.

It's one of my favorite aircraft, very sexy ... looking forward to it very much! There can NEVER be enough KingAir C90B's or 200's ...

My second entry to the "Ultimate Glacier Pilot" screenshot contest over at EPOCH

I agree with you Ntr09... I never use any stock Carenado anymore " out of the box " ... they have to pass in the Plane Maker customization house before I really use them ... Working on any Carenado on 1h30-2h ( flight tests included ) is generally enough to get a plane that flies like the real thing. Most of the time, I have to edit control surfaces deflection values, as well as ratio of control surface over wing chord... sometimes it's airfoils , sometimes it's settings related to overall airframe inertia, Cx, wing incidence etc ... it really depends on the plane. But now, I can't pretend to be certified on the real C208 for instance, but what I did in PM gave me a more " realistic " feel that what came out of the box initially .. for example, with 90% of the aileron travel, it generally makes the plane roll quite a lot ! while in default planes, it's like if the whole flight model was " calmed down " by some unvisible rails, giving incredible slow roll rate. I'm convinced they know how the real thing behaves, but the initials settings are probably made to satisfy most of the people with " on rails " flight behaviors ... You know, a real GA plane is NOT easy to fly when you want to make all maneuvers done the right way and precisely... it could be frustrating for simmers to take time to really learn the " behind the scene " effects that makes a real airplane not so easy to fly as it sounds to be ... So, I assume picking up a plane and fly around to enjoy sceneries for example is the purpose of these very eye candy planes ! Then, as I said, when correctly re-worked in PM, they can become real training material ... at least regarding flight dynamics ! Nothing worth a deep Gizmo-ed/SASL-ed powered systems... but if they would work as much on any of their convertion we would see a Carenado every year... while we got a lot of more ! In a nutschell, I would say it's the good compromise they found

Absolutely Kris ! Would love every turboprop of that kind to come out ... even B1900 !

Wow this looks amazing as usual! Really looking forward to the release.

I entered the "Ultimate Glacier Pilot" Screenshot contest today to try to win a Carenado with this screenshot. I can enter one per day.

A man is alone in an airport lounge. A beautiful woman walks in and sits down at the table next to him.*He decides, because she's wearing a uniform, she's probably an off-duty stewardess.So he decides to have a go at picking her up by identifying the airline she flies for, thereby impressing her greatly. He leans across to her and says the British Airways motto : 'To Fly. To Serve'. The woman looks at him blankly. He sits back and thinks up another line. He leans forward again and delivers the Air France motto: 'Winning the hearts of the world'. Again she just stares at him with a slightly puzzled look on her face. Undeterred, he tries again, this time saying the Malaysian Airlines motto: 'Going beyond expectations'.The woman looks at him sternly and says: 'What the f*** do you want?' 'Ah ha!' he says "Qantas".
