Carenado Seneca released

I agree with Ted. This is a GREAT little twin for the money, and kudos to Carenado for fixing any problems immediately! :applause: So far, I've logged about 10 hours in her, and can't get enough! :ernae: Yes, you have to rotate easy on takeoff, or she'll jump off the runway. No big deal. If you're a fan of light twins, I HIGHLY recommend this little gem! :wavey:
 
I agree with Ted too:applause:

Is it just me, or are there no shine effects on the windshield (as compared to the side windows)?
 
Got loads of shine on my windshield - the refraction of light is bound to be very different from the upright side windows.

Ahh ok. I was flying at around Noon so that could have been why as well.

Thanks for the screenie, Gajit.

This is a trait of both the Seminole and Seneca. I am flying the Seminole in real life right now working on my MEI, and at the published rotate speed it LEAPS off the ground. We wait about 5-10 knots past it and its a smoother transition. Congrats to Carenado for getting this right!!! :applause:

Anyone have trouble working the HSI? I cant figure out how to get the nav flags to go away and get it to follow a GPS course.

I can get it to follow a GPS course by clicking on NAV on the autopilot and to GPS on the GPS/NAV switch next to the GPS on the panel. The HSI flags don't go away though.
The CHT still doesn't work (I bought it yesterday after the patch had been out) and the pitch is WAY too sensitive compared to all my other planes. I changed the pitch_stability to 5.0 in aircraft.cfg and it's much better.
Frog
 
Thanks for that frog that's a wee bit better i can get the autopilot to follow GPS and CHT in the green here maybe update the patch.

Piper no faults here:running:

Anyone have the shock wave lights hooked up?
 
Hmm...strange. Nav flags wont go away for me either, and CHT is all the way to the left for me too. CHT definitely is not working after a fresh download and install and even after I apply the patch separately...
 
The 2nd patch is out but made my autopilot worse:monkies:

EDIT..downloaded the patch and reinstalled its better
 
Hi Guys

the only part i don't like is every livery being complete with no "common textures" folder which wastes an awful lot of space & textures are still BMP format which effects framerate. (but no biggie as the model is tops!)

Can't find a paintkit in the files or on Carenado's website.

Anyone know if there is a paintkit ?

10 out of 10 for the quality Carenado:ernae:

Regards
Rick

I agree. It IS a waste of HD space. Carenado must be the only mainstream company still using BMP's in their textures. I don't understand why they have not switched to DDS yet.
 
It is easy to create a common file, just make one textre.bk or something and change the texture.cfg to reference it, and whala you got a common file.

Ive been picking away at a bare metal version, which is a little too purple right now, but its getting there!
