Alabeo Cessna 400TT Corvalis released.

There is minimal reviews on this plane. I asked over at avsim and like one guy was thinking about it. (I'm thinking about it).

Ideally I want to get the GTN750 modded into the center screen... much like has been done on the Phenom 100, 300 and Hawker cockpits. I know it's not realistic but it will allow for more navigational power than the stock G1000.

I found one YT video on it so far... kinda general info.

I got it and it's a nice aircraft. It is Alabeo all around, great eye candy, and I am not unhappy with the purchase. I would be interested in a GTN mod if someone with more talent than me can come up with one. It is worth it if you like fast GA aircraft.
 
Any bugs you've found so far? I noticed a FLC mode in that video... usually they call it IAS in small planes but FLC is probably legit. Does it work?

I have not found any glaring bugs, but have only logged around 30 minutes in the plane....I will check further this evening.

A new release and only 4 posts including the OP in over 24 hrs...

When Alabeo released the Waco they had 8 pages on the release thread here, the GeeBee had 6 pages -
I hope they are paying attention over there...

Alabeo - Get back to the aviation classics and racers and let Carenado do the Cessna's and Pipers - the old formula was a winner.

average $22.00 per plane and do the more iconic, less common air frames and be successful -OR- double down on the Carenado brand, match pricing and aircraft types and languish

I for one appreciate ANY developer that brings ANY plane to the table these days. As for the bombardment of this thread by the "war bird" crowd that expects all developers to cater to their likes alone, it is quite uncalled for. This Air Force Veteran is very appreciative of all of the sacrifices made by veterans of previous conflicts and respects the evolution of technology from the early aircraft to the current and future aviation developments. Enough disrespect towards developers and there won't be any left to make any planes for the hobby.
 
I agree with you ksheadley.

I forgot to put a smiley after my post :untroubled: and now I cant edit. It was some kind of humor... But maybe it was out of place. And in this case, apologize.

Actually, as a consumer I have no problem defining various levels of vendor capabilities. In this hobby, groups like A2A are top notch and offer great value for the price they command. Groups like Carabeo make nice eye candy, and because of their recent foray into complex systems that are ultimately anything but, certainly are not worth the price TO ME. If you're happy with their products, then so be it. In the end we all have the right to express our opinions and experiences with payware. Having been around this hobby for almost 20 years, I always have been and always will be thankful to all the freeware developers for their hard work and generosity. But payware developers are here firstly to make a $... and that's OK. But that doesn't mean anyone much necessarily endorse their efforts. Regards, Greg
 
Yeah - this took a turn. I meant no slam against their work. Alabeo make excellent models- all I was trying to say was that I thought their original plan was perfect and it was working from what I could see, and that their subsequent decision to veer toward their own sister company's aircraft selection appeared to be a mistake - based on reaction here and elsewhere onthe web
 
It is not my place to make comment on any product here but I will say that the bottom line is developers whether free or payware will do what they want to do. That is their right. It is also their risk and nobody else's if sales results don't go the way they are supposed to. Providing ample information is given about a product and better still there are some reviews around, then a potential buyer has enough data to enable a buying decision to be made. In this case I suspect this is the wrong forum as more modern GA and commercial subjects are not that popular with SOH people. To get a more balanced appraisal of this type of product from people who actually own it it is often more productive to look at other more relevant sites. :engel016:
 
This is how Alabeo introduced themselves....but they have changed their deal
on both pricing and type of aircraft. So far I cant find any website that has embraced the change and almost all have at least one thread that lament it.
https://flyawaysimulation.com/news/4291/

of course the developer s free to do whatever they like - all I am saying is that it doesnt
look like the new Alabeo has been as successful as the original.
 
Developpers are free to do what they want, and we consumers are free to complain about their choices.
Now Alebeo is just making the same exact thing as Carenado. They should rename Alabeo to Carenado, it would make more sense, especially for the customers and their expectations.
 
Some of us are very happy with GA subjects.
And I (just me, myself) am highly unimpressed by the stream of constantly duplicated military aircraft.
I'd be pleased if Alabeo continued on their original path with classics but it's their choice to follow the apparent sales trend as they see fit.
Don't like them?
Don't buy them, it's a free market.
Just ease up on the criticism because they don't do another bloody P51 or F15.
:173go1:
 
and maybe ease down with the military versus GA stuff. There´s room enough for both IMHO

I´m not flying military but a lot of GA. I have devellopers that I like and some that i dont. (no names mentioned!)
I would like to know if its ok to talk about that. Is it ok to critizese a develloper on this forum?
 
Alabeo started off as a lower-cost alternative to Carnado. Now they are right there with them. So much for that business plan. Merge.

Don
 
The fusion is almost done.
Look at Carenados FSX product page. Before it was pointed out on the main product page which AC was Carenado and which was Alabeo.
Now you open the product you like, and if its an Alabeo, above the pictures, it says Carenado and below it says licensed by Alabeo.

Its fine for me. No problem.:santahat:
