New Carenado 152 released for FSX

I know someone that is drooling for this right now.....LOL:d
 
don't mind me - I've just been camping out at their site waiting for the Bonanza V35...

so far they have converted five of their fleet to FSX SP2 and created one (the Mooney) but I'm still waiting for the -V- tail

These are all really well detailed models with very low FPS impact and solid flight models - this C152 has an outstanding sound file BtW !
 
i just finished installing it.

ill be back later, after a short test flight :wavey:



******man, this is one sweet piece!!!!!! originally, when i spoke to them after getting the 206, they told me 30 more days till the 152. they missed that date a little. someone once spoke of a dirty bird paint for the 206, i don't know if they ever did it, but this one is practically screaming for some oil and grime. i can see me island hopping with this one tonight! i just wish there was an a/p so i could fly in the weather.
 
Any ideas on why I can't find the serial number? :banghead:

Got the download link email, downloaded fine, but I cannot find a serial number for the installer anywhere. There's an order number and a long password in the email, but neither of them work. Don't see anyway to access my orders on their site.

Must be missing something simple, but what is it? :redf:

cheers,
steve :wavey:
 
Use your email from your confirmation email and the long password in the 'serial' field. It should work, because it worked here...:ernae:

yes - I had to try it twice - but ut did work the second time...its that long alphanumeric code right below your email addy in the confirmation they send you...

Thanks, Anneke, must have copied a space into it when I tried it before. Worked when I tried it again. Off to fly. . .

Wish it had a Hobbs meter in the right seat panel. Back when I was a starving flight instructor getting paid around $7 USD to instruct in these things, it was hard not to watch those tenths click over enough to get a full hour. :d Low time instructors probably learned more about flying by instructing in 150's and 152's than the people they were "teaching". :isadizzy:

cheers,
steve :wavey:
 
Downloading now!....been waiting for this one. First the F-16, now the 152, all within two days :mixedsmi:

Now there is a gap in performance....can't wait to get this installed
 
Well I'm still highly unimpressed with the JF demo one, compared to the real C152s I've flown. At least this one has the right external model (the JF one has MASSIVE air intakes - this one looks about right) - Someone else'll have to let you know about the flight dynamics because I don't have it yet. This just went to the top of the purchase list for next month. ;)

Just took her for a quick spin. This baby is a beaut....although, like a couple other Carenado recent releases, there seems to be a radio switch flaw....radios do not come on when you turn on the master (152's don't have an avionics switch that I'm aware of).....I'll email them. Not sure why this keeps getting missed (in the mean time Ctrl+e gets everything running after start-up).

This will be great fun. The model is really well done IMO.
 
...and the switch for pitot heat is switched with the dome light. Strobe and Taxi switch are missing...no fuel switch.. Sloppy release...:kilroy:
On the bright side..we have a working ash tray :)

You are right one those items as well. Sloppy indeed.
 
Yeah, it's in a class of it's own:applause:

Look at the tachometer..:mixedsmi:

Yeah, but as a flight instructor you lose big time with the tach, since it barely moves at idle RPM, but the Hobbs meter was running all the time and taxi time counted just as much as flight time (and taxi time was safer). :costumes:
