Looks good!

[MustangL2W]

Fly's great too!! Real World power settings and handling characteristics are well modeled. Well worth the wait! Anyone who appreciated the FS9 Flight1 421 Golden Eagle will really enjoy getting into this one. I hope the painters go crazy over this Cessna Classic! So many beautiful schemes to choose from. Probably the nicest cabin class twin produced in its era.

What size are the mdl files and how are fps? Too many problems with Carenado aircraft to want to try this on blind faith.

Aircraft model file size is over 50mb, but the cockpit mdl are over 100mb.

Aircraft model file size is over 50mb, but the cockpit mdl are over 100mb. Thanks for checking for me! Looks like I am screwed with them as well as Carenado. Oh well.

This was my first ever MSFS purchase in FS2002 from Flight 1. Loved that so much I will have to get this too. :applause:

[stansdds]

Interesting. Looks like Alabeo/Carenado do not understand the differences between a Stormscope and a weather radar system. The cockpit display appears to be a 3M WX-11 Stormscope, yet it produces a sweeping, weather radar image.

[IanP]

Or, because you can't tell the position of lightning strikes in FSX, but you can tell the position of clouds and precipitation with certain weather generation systems, they made it do something in the sim that actually has a function?

Don't have it, so can't say, but it's a thought... ;)

Anyone know of a Cape Air livery for this aircraft?

Very few repaints for this bird period. Carenado doesn't make repainting easy of course. I think this C421 is really terrific + wish they would add the B model with the tip tanks. Replaces the RealAir B60 Duke for my hot piston twin go-to aircraft. Of course Cape Air flies Cessna 402's with different engines and square shaped (non pressurized) windows.

Found some Venezuelan paints here for the Golden Eagle that are well done: http://flightsimulatorvenezuela.blogspot.com/search?q=eagle

If you want to fly Cape Air 402C's, then there is the Flysimware 402C and there is a Cape Air repaint available for it.

[LouP]

Thanks, I knew about the 402 being the Cape Air planes and don't know why my mind shifted over to the 421. Must be getting old lol I live in the Boston area and it blows me away sometime how many of these I see leaving Logan and heading south. Am I the only one that drives to the Cape these days? lol

The Alabeo 421 is one of the finest (Non-Accusimmed) airplanes available. It Fly's 'book' numbers beautifully and is modeled as nice as anything I can think of. I hope others with a liking for modern-classic cabin class twins feel the same. I agree this airplane isn't getting the Love with repaints. It is a shame Carenado/Alabeo don't listen to the community and fix the way they do things so painters can go nuts! I truly think that has to make a difference in sales as well.

I call BS in reference about painting these releases, theres 1000s of paints for recent Carenado and Alabeo models

if anything they are 100 times easier to paint now than 3 plus years ago

I take his word on this one. :-)

Honestly, it wouldn't be hard to achieve the second sentence... ;)

This plane screams to be upgraded to the G600 avionics pack.

The 'mod squad' have been busy with GTN 750 integration if that's of any interest...

EDit: Sorry, scrub that ryan - thats the mod for the Alabeo CJ2 Citation - I own both.

You're right the Eagle could do with something along those lines.

Try asking here> https://www.avsim.com/forums/forum/664-the-alabeo-support-forum/

there are many repainters who pick up requests or try the facebook fsx or p3d groups, theres a lot of painters on those who are willing to do paints

me, i dont have the model as i have no interest in any 421

[LouP]

Thanks Matt, but I forgot the Cape Air planes around here are actually C402s. Maybe there will be one of those popping up soon. I may have a closer look at the Flysimware 402.

Flysimware's aircraft are not as pretty as Carenado/Alabeo's, but they fly well and the systems work as well as can be made to work within the MicroSoft flightsim engine.

FYI, although the Alabeo 421 flies already very nice, you can expect a slightly improved FDE for it soon.

Ughmmmm.... do continue. It would be good information before making a purchase.

Not that the 421 would be included, but does anyone know if Alabeo are having their usual sale anytime soon? It's usually mid-September/ early October.
