Carenado C185F Skywagon released !

been waiting for a 185 for a long time! my friend down the air strip where i live flys a real one and boy he likes to show off his plane! he pulls his prop pitch to a point it sounds like a P47 Taking off wit max military power so loud it allmost brakes windows eheh

:salute:
 
Does anyone see anything wrong with the external textures on this one? Any mirroring? Misalignment? etc? :kilroy:
 
No idea, as the VC is too nice to leave even for a second. ;)

One thing I noticed, and I'll bring it up on their forums if it hasn't been raised already, is that the airspeed indicator is a wee bit of an exaggerator. That sucker will read 140, but when you mouse over it, it says "110 knots". Hmph.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. The ASI reads in both kts and mph. I was confusing the two. I swear, you can't let me fly. Ever.
 
I see there is a problem with the config file for total fuel. Config is set up for 43 gallons but the POH says different.
 
Carenado always make respectable planes.

The VC on this one is especially good. I'm happy with my purchase.
I've been tempted to get "Sibwings Birddog", but the security has put me off, so this has quenched my tail dragger needs and the cub.
Pitty they did not make an amphibian or ski landing gear. :applause:

According to their forum over at Avsim when asked if they would release an expansion pack with floats, they said -

Yes, we will release a extension pack in the near future.

Carenado

Hopefully 'near future' means by the end of the week :engel016:

Excellent. :salute:
 
Don't let the Sibwings security keep you from a really gorgeous bird, Ben. I have never had a problem activating one of their birds - it's simple and automated, just one of those put in your email and reg number kind of deals. You only have to do it once per rig, and even installing updates or reinstalling the plane doesn't require re-registering.

But yes, this 185 is a very nice piece of work.

I WANTED the L-19 so I disregarded the 'security'...well it's no problem at all and contrary e.g. to other companies you can reinstall it as often as you like (at least on the same machine) and WITHOUT having to enter a code, connect to the internet etc..
It's a really SUPERB plane!
 
I've tried several times this morning to purchase the 185, but can't seem to get a credit card transaction to go through. I've tried several cards, but the payment company server keeps says "can't process at this moment" or something like that. Anybody else have this problem?

Hopefully they'll add an amphib, ski version, and a tundra tire as well.

I got the same credit card nonsense this morning, but I just tried again and it's working fine. Got mine all downloaded. Unfortunately, I have a full plate for the rest of the day, so I won't get to play with my new toy until tomorrow afternoon. :blind:

I'd love to get the Sibwings Birddog as well, but the Euro/Dollar conversion puts the price a bit too high for me for one aircraft add-on. While I somewhat understand UK/European developers pricing in Euro, it has dissuaded me from buying something more than once in the past couple of years. I imagine I'm not the only one. As such, I'd guess many sales opportunities are lost as a consequence. I don't mean this to degrade into a Dollar vs. Euro war, just stating the facts as I see them.
