New Carenado 152 released for FSX

Brian,

Yes - sorta. The power switch on the com/nav doesn't work. I have ctrl-A mapped to Avionics Master so I just use that. To be honest, I didn't want to wear out my welcome after the Overstress fix since I can make it work. They had an avionics problem with the 182-X right after it came out that they fixed like what we saw last night.

Thanks Glenn, at least I know it isn't me. I have been very cordial with them, and we were swapping emails almost in real time this morning, but they seemed to think this wasn't an issue which has been raised, and it may be just my 'local set-up'.

As I say, it really isn't a big deal. I can change the aircrfat.cfg (in the electrical section) and make 'avionics' to run from the main bus ('0') instead of the avionics bus ('1'), but not sure if this will cause any other electrical problems. But it does turn on the radios with the master this way.

I have only seen this happen with other simple aircrfat that do not have an avionics switch. Perhaps it is an 'FS thing'.

On a positive note I did pick up a very nice used Husqvarna snow blower today in anticipation of winter :mixedsmi:......you guys in Texas don't have to worry bout such things.:d
 
Nobody seems bothered by the missing switches for taxi lights, pitot heat and fuel? Or am I the only one missing and/or using these switches?

Anneke :wavey:
 
They are missing on mine as well Anneke, and I mentioned them.

The pitot heat 'flip-flop', (was told to me), would be taken care of in an update. No mention regarding the other missing switches, or the fuel valve switch. Perhaps the others will be fixed in that update as well.
 
I mentioned one of my developer pet peaves on another forum several months ago. It seems to have gotten better, but every once in a while. . . The peave was that some developers would leave out things like avionics masters, generators, or alternators. The apparent assumption was that everyone started FS and default flights using the FS standard- everything on approach. People like us messed up their world view. In Carenado's case, they know better but every once in a while something gets passed the test (beta) pilots.

I agree - for me Carenado are the masters - if every addon was made by Carenado FSX would be a brilliant world.

Keep them coming Carenado :applause:
 
I got to fly a Cessna 152 for my 14th birthday this year - through 30 knot gusts. I can't wait to buy this, but does anyone know whether Just Flight or Aerosoft plan to box it?
 
In case there are any other Carenado fans out there waiting patiently for the V35 Bonanza... In reply to the Email they sent me re: the c152 .cfg replacement file I thanked them for the great customer service and mentioned how much I am anticipating release of the V-tail Bonanza - and they responded (which I did not expect) with the statement that the V35 would be released next year...so thats only a few more months or so.


But at least we know for a fact that it will be done.

Meantime there are plenty more Carenado birds to be released between now and then so :ernae:

Sorry, sorry: the p-factor is right, I made a mistake with a wrong setting in FSUIPC!
Actually, I didn't believe that there's a bug in a Carenado dynamic... I have all their airplanes and to fly them are like to fly the real.
Carenado is not only one of the the best producer for the fsx GA planes, they are nice too, with a customer care at the top!
:icon_lol:

I don't know if I would go this far, but Carenado is setting the bar very high for other developers.

I recently had an issue with the 182 RG II with the cargo doors, and from the time I e-mailed the question, to the resolution and update was less than 2 hours.

That is service!

UPDATE: After going back and forth with Carenado on the master/radio switch situation from 'cold and dark', they have it resolved and sent me a new instrument 'cab' to replace the original in the panel folder.

Works like a charm. Fixed. :mixedsmi:
 
can anyone tell me how i can trim this plane for straight and level?
i seem to have alot of torque steer. it continually wants to turn left. i can trim for level with the trim wheel, but i don't see any way of trimming for straight other than to keep correcting with the stick. that seems to reset the trim wheel as soon as i move the stick. :banghead: i tried to use the arrow keys to correct for straight but it goes to far with just one click. anyone have a viable solution? what are the rest of you doing?
 
mmm...I'm not having this issue, for the most part, this aircraft seems to be one of the best I have to keep straight and level. I use a yoke, and find it is pretty easy to put slight weight, or input, as required for a straight flight,.

I dont have this plane yet but have experience the same with some others.
In the payload is it loaded with just the pilot or with pilot and passenger ?
I found that some planes will tend to keep drifting off to the left if there loaded with just the pilot but will fly straight if you add a passenger in the right seat.
