Anyone else finding that their overspeed needle is non-functional? Want to make sure it's not on my end before contacting support.

I also have to mention the fact that King AIr C-90's do not really EVER come equipped with a GNS 430 or 530 in real life. The ones I have flown in have all been Collins Pro-line or Avidyne...so for the sake of realistic depiction tha Carenado model is more realistic than, say, one with the RXP gauges installed.

I agree with you... most of the BE9L's I've seen don't have any Garmin 430/530...
But the problem is that in real life the avionics have up-to-date navdata. There's no way to achieve this in FSX without RXP or navigraph... hence why the C90 needs RXP support.
Just a quick note , download went normal as well as the install ... but I'm now getting the "Fatal Error" meassage.
Sent a ticket to Carenado, will keep you all posted to a positive conclusion ... I hope
:mixedsmi:
Thank you Carenado, problem solved
Keep up the nice work.

Just as an fyi, Bert Pieke has posted an interim 'band-aid-fix' for the integration of the reality xp GNS 430 over in the avsim carenado forum. I have not yet tested it myself, but I am sure it works at least on the most basic level allowing that database to govern aircraft navigation, and WAAS approaches.
I am really enjoying this aircraft, but just for full disclosure for those considering purchases, here is a small bug listing (compiled from my own experiences and data from other forums):
Pitot heat switches work, but don't actually do anything.
Bleed air switches work, but do not affect anything (pressurization)
Autofeather lights when switch is flipped do not come on at right time. (Always on is incorrect)
Startup sound loops before reaching 12% N1 for startup.
Engine 2 startup sounds (and some other sounds for 2) are missing.

Our E90 has this set-up.....
I just had my first flight and the fps is about the same as the Milvitz F15 which isnt good. I am going to reboot and see what happens.
And yes this is with the reduced detail model without the rear interior.
This seems to be a trend the last few paywares so maybe a new computer is long overdue.

...Cool! That would be a first (as far as my personal experience goes) but it is nice to know that adding that particular configuration isn't totally out of the question! Thanks for the info! Makes me feel better about mucking around with the panel!

Apparently, Carenado will be including rxp integration in an upcoming service pack. Just read that on avsim. So, that is good news for those of us who want to use the newer tech and nav database...
Most disturbing to see systems modeled incorrectly or not at all for $40.

While I agree that it is a bit of a disappointment, I am sure they will have a service pack that will. Address these issues.

On another forum I have read some very negative feedback from a 200 pilot if I understood correctly.
Mainly some bugs with the electrical systems, with the lights switches, and with the engine handling ? Bugs or lack of functionnalities, "as expected from Carenado products" they said...
I don't have any Carenado product so far, but if I ever buy one, it will surely be a simple/old plane instead of a pseudo-modern one. The lack of functionnalities and other limitations will be less noticable on these old and simple birds... hopefully :/
I think I hate A2A.

Yeah A2A and a few others set the bar so high alot expect everyone elses releases to be simular or even exceed. I admit I am a little let down but realize alot of it is I have been waiting for a 200 series for a LONG time so my expectations were high.
As always I am split on people insisting on accurate and intensive systems modeling. The PMDG crowds are willng to waiting 3 years to get their switch throwing,FMC programming fix but I get antsy after waiting 6 months! Carenado puts out some great looking GA planes and on a routine basis.
That said people will vote with their wallets. I just left Avsim and its getting slammed. It does seem like it was rushed out to be fixed later which alot of blame needs to be placed on US for not only putting up with it but ENCOURAGING IT!
Also I heard a repeating advertising practice alot are getting tired of seeing.
"Tested by real pilots." Well I am a "real pilot", he** I got 3 years worth of mashing my as* in Kingairs and would make a terrible beta tester. I flew the Carenado late last night and never noticed 1/2 the issues being call "deal breakers" by some. Its the overall experience and suspension of reality I am in it for, the flying part, not systems babysitting.
All that said, my fps are suffering and I am getting stutters from this bird. I replaced the sound with another Kingair soundset. The Carenado was way to loud and the high pitched prop drone was giving me a headache. The Aersoft Bronco was also annoying and overbearing so I have the feeling they are done by the same people or technique.
Even with Trackir I could not look down to change head or course resorting to popups resorting to sizing them every flight.
I could not get or figure out the instrument lights just a overly bright panel light. Not dimmer or at least operational. The landing lights were dim and not usefull. Plane had some nervous twitches and the autopilot seems wonky. Maybe it was my weather??? Not getting into the systems accuracy or omissions. Thats already been done. It felt like a med twin,flew like one,looks like one so I am satisfied. Not "this is the one" over joyed but content. The 40 dollar price tag does and did have people staring at the details a little harder. $30 not so much.

I have the following Carenado products, Cessna C337, A36 Bonanza, V35 Bonanza, C 206, C 172N, and now the C90.
Anyone who as purchased any of the above, will know that they all required updates soon after release.
They are all still great products, but their way of releasing them requires attention in order to stop all this negative crit which floods into
the forums after release and which can't be good for business choose what they say.
I still maintain that the overall products are sound and patience is a virtue we are told, so time will tell with this one,
it's just very frustrating having to wait for what should have been right in the first place.
You would not want to buy a car if one of the wheels was missing would you?

I cant think of a single dev's products that I have purchased that has not required a fix/patch/update within the last 12 months! We all testers if we buy any product within a month of release nowadays
Yeah but A2A,PMDG,Realair ect release a few a year to a few a decade for Realair hahaha.
Carenado just needs to slow down. Unless there is another Kingair about to be released by someone else lol.
They just need to advertise "test pilots wanted" instead of "tested by real pilots."
This works for some of the others!
