C310- but why?

Alabeo has announced their next project, and it will be Cessna C310. I don't know why they choosed that one.
 
Depends on what model they plan to do. There were some who were disappointed that the MilViz version wasn't the early short-nose version (B model) which was consider to be the iconic 310. Personal preference I guess.
 
i like the idea,i like carenado and alabeo planes,ill take any,i wish they would do a twin otter and a beaver.
 
Indeed why a C310, spent many hours in the 310R for real over the years, hated them, at full load they were like riding a greasy pig, give me a Baron any day!.
 
Alabeo: STOP! That's right STOP the silliness of making another ugly long nosed C310. We already have the MilViz payware one and there is a freeware version. We also have a very nice early -B straight tail/tuna tank version from Rob Richardson.

This is the one that we want:

Preferably not a C310 at all IMHO. But Carenado/Alabeo have a history of very often doing the aircraft that they have direct access to, so it may well be that they have access to a Cessna 310R.
Asking for a specific type is probably a waste of time.
I do like the visual quality of whatever they do, though, so I may get it, even though I really like the Milviz version.

The reason for the Milviz C310R is that is what Ken Stallings owned, so that's what we based our model on... :encouragement:
 
I to also prefer the look of the short nose versions of the 310 but there were actually practical aerodynamic reasons for the long nose. The short nose versions B - Q were less stable and had the glide rate of a rock. The long nose R was a much smoother and more stable ride. I've talk to pilots who have flown both and they agree.
 
I have a 310. Don't need another. I like my Milviz 310. Could care less that Alabeo is wasting time on redundancy. And though I really can't see the nose from the cockpit, that short nose is fugly.

What would really be good news is that someone is working on a brand new Turbo Otter.
 
Makes no sense whatsoever. The MilViz 310R is excellent and quite realistic in handling, I seriously doubt that a Carenado/Alabeo 310 is going to be significantly better and I seriously doubt it will have a better flight model or systems modeling.
