Carenado SR22

Does it have real gauges and not the TV screens.

Why not try the Eaglesoft model?

Flew all the ESDG stuff heavily back in the day :cost1:

I don't understand this question.

I don't understand this question.

I think what he is alluding to is that he isn't a fan of glass cockpits lol. The only cirrus aircraft to be equipped as such were the early first gen models, and no developer is going to model that these days. I sdk seem to remember seeing a freeware fs9 one that had the 50/50 split though...

I have the F1 Cessna Mustang. It is a great addon in every respect. It looks great, the flight model is right (according to Cessna) and the glass display avionics are second to none.

There is one littel thing that I dont like about it That is that I cannot save and restart a flight. I understand this is due to the complexity of the g1000 systems as modeled by f1.

So although I love all of the real world features.... I rarely have the time to start and finish any real cross country flights worthy of the cessana mustang. I know that I can slew or fly in compressd time, but I dont like all of that; kind of a hassle.

So for me the silver lining with a less complex g1000 simulation..... I can save a flight to be continued later at my convenience. As long as what is modeled works properly and the flight model is vouched for by real world pilots and the graphics are pretty, I am sold.

That doesnt mean that I dont value the F1 g1000 and fly it often..... maybe it just means I can have my cake and it too.

Why not try the Eaglesoft model? I like it, but it's pretty heavy on frame rate though!

I've actually gone back and forth between the CA one and the older ES one... The RXP 430W's fit perfectly into the older one and the avidyne is a bit different than the G1000 so that's fun!

About the Mustang - the majority of my flights are very short (less than 200 mi).... nothing says you HAVE to make 500 mi journeys hehe...

Mine too. Since I live in Chesapeake VA, i often fly to DC or New York.

Flight model = Different Aircraft. People seem to be ok with it though.
Avionics seem to be the same basic G1000 system as modelled for the T182T, of course with the several aircraft-specific changes made. Frame rate seems to be the same, maybe better but certainly not any worse.

Graphics model is right on par with the T182T

Owning all 3 (CT-182,ES Cirrus and the new one) I can say

Visuals same like CT stunning style of course better then the (much) elder ES
Flight model-I never flew one but very much the same like ES so probably right
on the SR G1000 you have an engine page,which you have not on the CT
the PDF/MFD can also be used in other planes in 2 D always in VC when the base model (knobs) allow it

The TAWS is very good on par with the DSB TWAS and better then the RXP 530 one(still i cry that their is no Sandel in FSX)

A bit more FPS heavy then the non G1000 Carenados (I run limited 35 FPS-->an steam gauge Carenado (best of all payware) runs a 35 flat this runs at 28-32)

If you like the Cirrus basically its a good choice

I don't have any of Carenado's G1000 aircraft yet. I was thinking about getting the TBM, but I have a question about their G1000 features.
Does the Carenado Garmin have the ability to change PFD settings, mainly adding bearing 1 & 2 pointers for adf/nav2 and adding DME?

F1 C182 G1000 PFD

Yes, it does...:cost1:
