Carenado C337 Skymaster now available

Hi JanKees,

You saved me spending $25,-. Refunded you the 1/2 via Paypal :very_drunk:

Real pitty they mirrored the wings and tailboom.

it's a good model. wx radar problem will be fixed in the coming su from asobo. from a vr perspective, flood lights are bit too bright so had to edit the fx files to tone them down, gauge flood knob difficult to access but 'locked' mouse mode makes it easier. handles well and sounds are fine. for $27 a good buy.
 
Bought it. Like it. Always liked this plane. I got a ride in an O-2 back in the 1980s, at NAS Fallon, Nevada. When our division officer had the O-2 bomb scoring duty, where he would watch where the little blue practice bombs hit the target as our A-7E Corsair IIs did bombing runs, he would take one of us up with him. Great fun as he maneuvered to keep the target in sight, and out of the way of the A-7s screaming in, sometimes underneath us! Too bad about the mirrored textures, and the mandatory radar pod though.

I bought it, but it has mirrored textures (wings, booms, tails) so you'll need to work with decals if you want to do any serious painting..
so I'll shove it into the rear of the hangar for now

Understandable, but if you do happen to pull it out of the hangar for painting, I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping for some awesome O2-A liveries one day!
 
I got it and like it, a lot! Weird thing is I am not experiencing half the complaints listed here. The weather radar also works for me. Only thing I would like to see adjusted is that it seems to "stick" to the ground when taxiing and it takes way too much throttle to get her moving.

the cessna 170B also had this same schematic and I managed to paint it, but the 337 already has my model folders empty, I can't open the model
 
Probably because they are encrypted. If I understand correctly, things bought in the marketplace are encrypted to avoid piracy.

I bought the C170B on the marketplace and it didn't look like this, I opened the model using the normal MCX, the 337 is already empty, a pity
 
you can paint using the same process I used on the C170B, but as it doesn't open the model it would be in trial and error, and it's not mirrored

I grabbed their Seneca V last week. Haven't wrung it out yet, but it looks nice. I have zero interest in the Skysmasher. I'm waiting for the Aztec and Beech 18 to come along. Will not be buying anything else from them until then. Wish someone would build a G18S instead of the same old WW2 Beech. VERY disappointed in reading that the new Cessna has mirrored textures. That type of crap cannot be acceptable now in 2022. It takes a modeler minutes to fix that.

This one is tempting me. It looks like they're quoting Wiki regarding performance. That's the only source I can find that matches the quoted 144 MPH (125 Kts) cruise speed, which is actually the economy cruise. Every other source lists higher cruise speeds. I also had to download their documentation package ( https://www.carenado.com/sitecarenado/product/c337-skymaster-msfs2020/#tab-docs ) in order to figure out that they've modeled the H variant. I think I'll think on this a little more...
