Carenado Mentor

If you didn't buy it yet, i will be the first.

Just went to the site. The pictures are awesome! And only $20 USD.

Too bad I am stuck in a hotel room.:banghead:

I need a fix! :costumes:

Breath deeply, John. That's it, in...out...in...out.
 
Well, I guess I'll claim to be the first one to actually buy it, as it's d/l on my computer as I type.
 
Dave,

Maybe, maybe not.:icon_lol: After two circuits - its typical Carenado - great. But, the panel has some problems. There is a mag switch on the VC panel but its just a bitmap. It and the electrical switches work best or at all from the pop-ups. The landings a lot more satisfying than the FS9 version.

Bummer! :costumes: She's very nice for sure, but mostly just a work-over of the FS2004 model. HOWEVER, I loved the FS2004 model, so I'm certain to love this one as well. A great machine for VFR flying - wonderful visibility from the VC. Now I'm off to see if some old re-paints work.
 
It's worth the money and I'm sure a quick e-mail to Carenado will get a panel fix soon enough. Good thing my wife is out of town - the T-34 today and the L-4 yesterday. Figure the odds that we aren't done for the week. :wavey:

Damn, I was hoping for the C172 next. The T-34 is a great plane though. I have the updated FS9 version.

Awww...dang it....I just installed a new second hard drive, and am in the middle of moving everything around and repartitioning.....

Tomorrow :mixedsmi:
 
Re-paints work. To save space, you just need the following .bmp files from the desired re-paint;
Carenado_mentor_fuse2_T
Carenado_mentor_fuse_T
Carenado_mentor_interior1_T
Carenado_mentor_interior3_T

Then, copy the texture.cfg file from one of the default Maule's texture folders into the desired Mentor re-paint's add-on folder and add to the aircraft.cfg as you normally would. You really only need the re-paint's "Carenado_mentor_interior3_T" file for the Navy 'B' model if you want something besides a yellow pilot helmet. For example, I added the Navy blue scheme by Kevin Jessee, and the default helmet is still yellow, unless you keep the Carenado_mentor_interior3_T from his re-paint in the navy blue texture folder.
 
Hot Dang,been waiting for this one for a long time,I love the new turbo T34 but this one has been a favorite since FS9.:jump:
