Carenado C337 Skymaster now available

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...

Yea... I noticed it has the "clam shell" door. Planephd.com lists the H model as having a best cruise of 169 KIAS. That's more like what I remember from years' past. The description on the Carenado homepage has some conflicting information as well.

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. LouP

The ground issue is a problem with many planes. Asobo has their ground friction coefficients way too high. IIRC, they're aware of this, but when they'll fix it, who knows?

Not sure, if the fake observer windows are a good idea. I did N590D/67-21300 of [FONT=&quot]Postbellum Foundation based in Teuge/Netherlands. [/FONT]Anyway, the C337 is really nice for repainters. This repaint is WIP.

You beat me to it, Thomas, because all of a sudden i can't seem to include images anymore ( i still can't, only via trickery ;-)

What do you think, Jan Kees ? Better than nothing, right ?
 
Hi, everyone!

I can't keep my hands off painting. And I took on the new Skymaster. I tried to create a new paint out of the existing paint "DON'T SHOOT" namely the "THE FAC" with the RegNr. N48233. I hope I succeeded. Here are some pictures. I'll try to upload it to Flightsim.to, that would be my premiere.

Have a nice afternoon...

Bummer... I like having someone in the seat next to me. I tolerate the stock TBM and Xcub because they're fun to fly, but every other plane I fly on a regular basis has a visible copilot sitting next to me.
 
I had the Skymaster in FSX and P3D, and really enjoyed it. One of Carenado's best. Looks like I'll be buying it for a third time, though I'll wait for a sale.
