Carenado's Next

I don't know whether I should be happy or not... I want a bonanza with nice avionics and 3D gauges, not the typical Carenado plane. I guess I'll wait and see what it ends up like. :mix-smi:

I'm just the opposite, while it would be nice, I am finding that the packages that come out with all the bells and whistles, usually come with performance issues. I guess my point is I would rather have a great looking model, than one that cuts my performance compared to a default aircraft in half.

thanks for the HU though, looking forward to some new low wing single engine addons.
 
count me in for any and all Carenado planes.

I'm not looking for a systems simulator...I want planes that I can use in all weather and in most if not all FSX venues without FPS penalty taking my rig to the ground.

And Carenado seems to hit high marks in both the flight model and 3d modeling aspects of the FSX without any real hit to FPS whatsoever - I dunno how they do it - but it is exactly what makes their addons invaluable to me :icon29:
 
OTOH, the A2A piper cub and P-47 are seemingly infinitely complex and my FPS are pinned with them. Same with the L-39 and others. Even the PMDG J41 is usually pinned at 36 FPS. Poor performance isn't an excuse for no bells and whistles anymore.

Besides, 3D gauges are BETTER for performance than 2D gauges. When I used the RXP GNS430 in the realair duke, my FPS actually INCREASED because the default GPS is trash. So these are completely null points. :ernae:

Roland your FPS heavy DF plane is FPS heavy because it is not a native FSX model. It has nothing to do with detail or how it was made.
 
Dang it! I've been waiting for the V33. Bah! I guess I'll wait a while longer. The F33 is certainly a step in the right direction, though.

Moddability equals zero though...



If someone wants to experiment a bit, maybe bridge the waiting time for the B33 and have a blast from the past, go over to Avsim and search for b33.zip
