Carenado sale at PC Aviator through Dec. 19

the 206 is nice but the sound is awful. in fact the 206 is my fav plane, (after the kodiak) but i don't fly it because it sounds like a weed whacker. best model for the $$ (imo) is the 182 or the 152.

IIRC TSS or someone else had some C206 sounds that were better than the Carenado ones.
 
Well I decided on the 206 and the 182. At just under $35 for both, I feel I got two good planes for a good value. I figure if the sounds are really that bad on the 206, I could always alias them to something else if I can't find a better sound set for it. Thanks for the advice. :)
 
Download store

Greetings,

I was wondering if anyone was having trouble accessing the download store? I bought the Carenado Seneca yesterday and all went well. I tried several times to access the site tonight but got a http 403 error. I wanted to buy one or two other aircraft. I have never experienced this.

BTW the Seneca is awesome. Well worth the money and perhaps their best yet.

I am getting the same error. I can get into the base site, but not to the sale pages.

I picked out the 172 with floats yesterday....it's great!
 
If you can't hit the Carenado site, Flightsim's FS Pilot Shop is showing the same 30% off sale.
 
Thanks everyone. Must be a problem with thier server if I am not the only one having that problem.

Back to the Seneca, I have about 90 hours in the real thing and it sure brings back memories and much, much cheaper to operate. :applause: Engine sounds on this model seem to be pretty accurate.

I made my purchases through PC Aviator, so they are also an option if you can't get through to the Carenado store.

Cheezyflier, I spent some time in the 206 today, and I have to agree with what you said. Great plane, terrible sound. :\ I was almost taken aback at just how poor the sound quality is. I think I'm going to just alias the sound to the default 208 until/unless someone finds a good sound set for it (I searched the usual sites, but didn't come up with anything for the FSX version.) Thank you for the very accurate assessment of it, it's an otherwise very nice plane.
 
Might want to put in the c172 sounds instead of the 208. The 208 is a turboprop, the C206 is a recip.

Thanks, I didn't even give that a consideration. I'll be aliasing it to the 172 then, as I want the sound to at least be in the right ballpark. :)
 
yesterday while googling i came across a forum post from somewhere that gave cfg changes that would give the 206 turbo power. i didn't try it because i like it the way it is.

Hmm, that's interesting. Are there any real turbo 206's, or is it just an 'I did it cause it can be done in FSX (or I just wanted it faster)' type of mod?

Just checked it, I got a 403 error as well. Fortunately, the sale prices are available at a few other places already mentioned in this thread, so if you can't get through there, there's at least a few other places to try. :)
 
I have the 182 RG for FS9 from a year or two ago, and that thing is AWESOME.....!

I did a couple of repaints for it.

Great soundpack as well.

The stock white plastic panel is horrible, so I made my own fake wood plastic panel. I think there are two versions of panel plastic that come with it. (Cant remember).

Attached is one of the blue and white ones in the package, white panel, stock, and the red stripes with gray interior and wood panel is my own paint scheme for it.

Thanks for confirming that for me George. At least it's not just me. I was trying to avoid creating another online account. :d
