Carenado PA42 Cheyenne III Available

Has anybody gotten it yet? I would like to hear some reviews on it before purchase as funds are tight at the moment.
 
I don't have it but they sometimes have a sale mid-December. But I doubt that one will be included.
Does look like a nice one though. Works with my GTN750 also. :jump:

I bought it and so far the only major glitch I have encountered is when starting manually, the engines do not turn on when you increase the condition levers. You have to use the ready for taxi option in the panel loader. Maybe I'm missing a step, but I somehow doubt that... Otherwise, it's probably one of their best releases to date.

I don't own the aircraft but it's been my experience that all recent Carabeo aircraft require that a cold and dark start can only be accomplished after moving the fuel flow valve. IOW, if the valve is set to the left tank when the flight scenario starts, move it to the right and then back to left. Then begin the start sequence. Kinda goofy, but that's the only way I can do a cold start with their aircraft.

Good luck,

Greg

Ah. I did not think of that. I noticed the same issue with the Mooney by Alabeo

Cold and dark will indeed turn off the fuel valves. There's a cover on the floor in between the pilot seats. Click on it and the cover will open. Underneath you'll find the fuel valve levers.

I wish Carenado worked that fast! Its probably gonna be several months before we can get our hands on the S340. I'm personally really excited for the c421 from Alabeo. Anyone here have an inside track to how that project is progressing?

its exactly the same as what is in the C172-G1000, however it extends to any Carenado aircraft that has G1000 fitted, after a new re download of that aircraft

As for the SVS, its great in general, ideal for flying in poor and dark areas where those mountains jump out in front from out of no where, in summary what you see in from of you is replicated in 3d in the G1000

What you see in the screenshots on the product page is exactly what you get
 
With Black Friday around the corner I am holding off on any purchases, Even for this beauty being as tempting as it is.
