Alabeo C421 Golden Eagle released.

Fly's great too!! Real World power settings and handling characteristics are well modeled. Well worth the wait! Anyone who appreciated the FS9 Flight1 421 Golden Eagle will really enjoy getting into this one. I hope the painters go crazy over this Cessna Classic! So many beautiful schemes to choose from. Probably the nicest cabin class twin produced in its era.
 
What size are the mdl files and how are fps? Too many problems with Carenado aircraft to want to try this on blind faith.
 
theseare the file sizes as shown in the model folder

c421.MDL 53364KB
c421_interior.MDL 53159KB

This was my first ever MSFS purchase in FS2002 from Flight 1. Loved that so much I will have to get this too. :applause:
 
Interesting. Looks like Alabeo/Carenado do not understand the differences between a Stormscope and a weather radar system. The cockpit display appears to be a 3M WX-11 Stormscope, yet it produces a sweeping, weather radar image.
 
Or, because you can't tell the position of lightning strikes in FSX, but you can tell the position of clouds and precipitation with certain weather generation systems, they made it do something in the sim that actually has a function?

Don't have it, so can't say, but it's a thought... ;)

Very few repaints for this bird period. Carenado doesn't make repainting easy of course. I think this C421 is really terrific + wish they would add the B model with the tip tanks. Replaces the RealAir B60 Duke for my hot piston twin go-to aircraft. Of course Cape Air flies Cessna 402's with different engines and square shaped (non pressurized) windows.

Found some Venezuelan paints here for the Golden Eagle that are well done: http://flightsimulatorvenezuela.blogspot.com/search?q=eagle
 
If you want to fly Cape Air 402C's, then there is the Flysimware 402C and there is a Cape Air repaint available for it.
 
Thanks, I knew about the 402 being the Cape Air planes and don't know why my mind shifted over to the 421. Must be getting old lol I live in the Boston area and it blows me away sometime how many of these I see leaving Logan and heading south. Am I the only one that drives to the Cape these days? lol

The Alabeo 421 is one of the finest (Non-Accusimmed) airplanes available. It Fly's 'book' numbers beautifully and is modeled as nice as anything I can think of. I hope others with a liking for modern-classic cabin class twins feel the same. I agree this airplane isn't getting the Love with repaints. It is a shame Carenado/Alabeo don't listen to the community and fix the way they do things so painters can go nuts! I truly think that has to make a difference in sales as well.
 
I call BS in reference about painting these releases, theres 1000s of paints for recent Carenado and Alabeo models

if anything they are 100 times easier to paint now than 3 plus years ago
