Carenado SR22

Can someone let us know if it allows you to enter a flight plan from inside the unit? Carenado avoided this question like the plague on facebook...
 
No, you have to load the flight plan from the simulator and then it will be loaded on the G1000. It is not currently possible to load a flight plan from inside the unit on this G1000. Maybe with a future revision...

What are your ties to Carenado? Based on your comment you sound as if you are on the dev team.
Curious members would like to know.

I do customer support for Carenado and aircraft development on Alabeo (Although I'm here on personal grounds and not representing anybody, I was just trying to clarify things for those who asked).
 
:jump: Getting this one soon as I get home. When not flying warbirds I have been flying their 182T all over hell and back. Thank you Carenado.

What happened to the GeeBee? It was announced on Twitter that it would be released soon,That was over 2 weeks ago.
 
I bought it. I like it. I went in knowing what to expect (and not to expect Flight1 G1000-like avionics). It flies well, looks great. The sounds are lacking... they won't sound quite like the cirruses that fly around duluth... and the sound is very muffled during cruise, and a little distorted...

The LVL button works hehe (but we've been doing this for a long time in FS!) Night lighting is good, smooth gauges (even the g1000 is decent). I'm finding the clickspots easy to manipulate compared to previous releases. The A/P behavior is typical (misses localizer intercepts and has to correct back), but I find it works pretty good overall. There is one annoying bug I found so far with the avionics. The push direct to course knob doesn't work (similar to heading where you'd make the heading sync - the course knob usually points to the station and the direct course to - doesn't work with this release)

I'm not having fps issues like some people were reporting.

Flight model seems fine from my limited SR22 time. I found the yaw axis to be quite sensitive on this version. I flew an older G1 SR22 and the rudder wasn't nearly this touchy both on the roll and airborne. Could be my hardware, could be my lack of time. Matt what do you think?

Overall, possible a little pricey for what you get but I love the Cirrus so I was bound to get it anyway :)

p.s. I stuck the RXP 530W as a popup in this plane. The A/P works like usual and tracks the various legs. I bet if you put the link on in the .ini file it might show on the G1000 MFD? I don't use that so maybe someone could check?

p.s.s The turbo seems to be working fairly well yay! Numbers for a quick typical high altitude test are close (FL250 - I'm getting 17.5 gph @ 83% power) I should be doing 18.3 gph @ 85% power. ISA TAS should be 214 and I'm getting 213 really nice!

Well, Ryan...If the 22 you flew was an Avidyne equipped aircraft, then that would say a lot about the rudder sensitivity. I have flown all Cirrus models, and the new gen aircraft---those with the perspective avionics, all have done away with the 'rudder/aileron interconnect'. That flight control feature essentially 'tied' the rudder to the ailerons to make for smoother, more coordinated turns even if the pilot was lazy with his feet..It didn't mean you could fly feet-off, just that it eased coordination (and a few other things). In the newer Cirrus aircraft, if one was to approach and compare, say, ramp stance...the first thing you would notice is that there is more dihedral with the older gen aircraft, and they also sit lower to the ground. A bit of the dihedral has been removed and ground stance raised on the newer models (also for a number of applicable reasons). So, in essence, if this addon (I have yet to purchase it) has what seems to be a 'sensitive' rudder, that would be why. Having flown the new models, I can attest that they indeed are far more foot-sensitive than earlier models
 
Thanks .... seems the touchy yaw axis is correct then.

The only other question is about descent. Out of FL250 I had full power in (around 83%) and in a -1000 fpm descent I wasn't redlining. In fact I barely went past vno. This plane is far more slippery than that isn't it?

Well, TBH, I would assume so...but I haven't delved that deeply into high altitude flying IRL in the Cirrus so i would hesitate to comment. A lot of factors there...but maybe one of my COPA Turbo owner friends can shed some light on it, assuming he isn't out flying right now lol....
