Carenado SR22

If you look at Engine out glide table you will see that the SR22 isn't a slippery airplane. just average. Not surprisingly if you don't have a retractable gear... ;)
 
I did look at it this morning... 8:1 ish yeah not nearly as well as I thought!

Still you would think at full power in a descent the thing would overspeed? I guess technically it is at 180 kias. Which is past VNE at FL250 (170 kias)
 
If you get over the simplicity of the G1000 there's not much to dislike.

The sounds need work and a few clickspots seem backwards to me (fuel pump operation).
 
+1 to what Ryan said. He has RW Cirrus time, like me. I can't really comment on the G1000, as much has been said about it already. It is a good addon that flies well and (although not realistic, per se) can be run with the RXP Garmin driving the avionics...which for those that have them, make it able to do the things it can't out-of-the box. I have never flown a P-51 so I will never comment on the flight model. This is different...
 
Nobody can get through a 60 minute flight on this thing without something on the MFD going screwy. My Direct-To function was not responding as a Direct-To function. When I tried to show the FLP and PROC pages, it wouldn't let me back out of the menu again! It won't fly an approach, so don't even bother. This release is a real shameful portrayal of an aircraft as sporty and capable as the SR22.

Sorry to hear you are having issues with it. Have you considered opening a support ticket with Carenado? I haven't experienced the issues you mention....(haven't tried the 'direct-to', as I rarely use that function in the real plane and instead rely on manually inputting my waypoints in the center scratchpad)...and as I mentioned piggy-backing the RXP Garmin to drive the G1000 works great and opens up 1,000's of WAAS approaches...

I'm very happy with this aircraft but I know it's a 'SIMULATION' and not the real thing.
Do as Felixthreeone has suggested, ask for assistance via Customer Support, Carenado usually seem to be good at it!
:173go1:
 
It's a simulation not worth having lol. Pretty textures, terrible avionics. The latter bit is important to me, and as a paying customer I am displeased. At least leave the Cirrus Perspective information off the screen, it's a lot of product to live up to.
 
Tough crowd......too bad you are having problems with it. I see you are realtively new to the forum so........many of us here have a saying....its a SIM not the real world. If you want real world go get your ticket to fly. I do this for fun and enjoyment....I realize where my money is going and its going to a SIM and expect nothing more. Some developers have really pushed this sim and I know they will continue to do so, so I look forward to more in the future of this SIM.

As for buying.....I have learned one thing with this and all the othe sim.....I never buy in the first week.......Except for Warbirdsim Mustangs....lol......I wait to hear results and opinions. I base my purchases on trusted people on this site and highly recommend others to do the same.


Off to do some flying in my SIM now......my two cents.
 
if anyone has both.... how does it compare with carenado's ct182?

Flight model

aviaonics

and yes graphics model?

I have to admit, I do enjoy the look of the model too. for me its part of the fun of playing with FS. That is why I like scale RC instead of flying sticks.,. not that there is anything wrong with big sticks. :icon_lol:
 
Flight model = Different Aircraft. People seem to be ok with it though.
Avionics seem to be the same basic G1000 system as modelled for the T182T, of course with the several aircraft-specific changes made. Frame rate seems to be the same, maybe better but certainly not any worse.

Graphics model is right on par with the T182T

Thanks for the quick feedback. I have read very positive comments on this site about the T182's flight model.

I am trying to decide if I want to wait for the TBM850 or take the plunge with one of these two. I appreciate your comments.
 
After all these years, I have understood and adopted one of the "rules" of the FS topics:
"If there are no screenshots before page 2, it means that the addon looks bad or has terrible quality".
We're at page 3. Enough said :icon_lol:
