Very nice, definitely waiting for this one. Hope they have more twins in store for us later on.

Would love to see them do a helicopter (hint, hint)

[heywooood]

they could do the model...but from what I hear, dodosim would get some votes to do the airfile :kilroy:

[lifejogger]

Looks very nice, but I'm running out of money trying to buy all of these planes.:banghead:

[Spikehughes]

Superb looking. I must admit that I have purhcased little in the way of aircraft lately - but this one could definitely shake out the wallet

[6297J]

Looks great.

However, it'll be disappointing if it uses the same radio stack as every other Carenado Piper ever released.

[thunder100]

great shots

Some querstion though

Were all the panels that dark?
I think that I flew one in the mid 90's which had a light grey one.But then again maybe not standard

Very best regards

There are even more screen shots now - maybe getting close to release :jump::jump::jump:

yeah I noted this on another forum - they really like to use similar/or exactly the same gauges and radio stacks for their aircraft. A little annoying.

[gajit]

I know what you mean but then am I right in thinking Piper did tend to use the same ol' bits for years during their chapter 11 era?

After Realair's release of the duke SP1 I've not been too interested in the Seneca. It is closer to perfection than any other GA plane out there imho.

I think Carenado's old style of the same old same old is getting to me. I have a ton of their products (and enjoy them almost daily) but they have hardly changed over time. While other companies develop new technologies and new realism, Carenado continues to steady their course. I'm probably going to skip over this one. :kilroy:

[gajit]

Yep -agreed - that Duke and also the Digital Cheyenne are exceptional twins - but i will struggle to resist the Seneca for more than about err 10 seconds from the moment i see its released!

[cheezyflier]

the radio stack thing is my only gripe with them.

I gave up that struggle the moment I saw the first VC screen-shots... even if they aren't doing fancy new things, their new modeling technique sure does wonders in FS!
Gotta say, D-GVBS looks absolutely luscious!

[gajit]

Sure does :jump:

Amen brother!

I originally asked them to do a Piper Aztec, but knowing there are more photos of the seneca I can understand why they chose to do it right after I emailed them. I even made a nice write up on why they should choose the aztec and what they should model it after.

Anyway I think we can do with a seneca not good for practicing in our plane, but its a piper, with twin engines, what could you ask for more?

Your idea of an Aztec was a goodin :applause:

[Naismith]

That may knock my Beechcraft Duke off of No. 1 spot.

[waka172rg]

I think it might too Naismith :sheep: its going to be :ichile:.
anyone no any information on the release date of the Seneca i emailed them on the 21/5/09 and they said "We are in the last stage of its development."
:monkies:

[waka172rg]

They have put a new shot of the cockpit up looking good i hope the autopilot is new with gps and appr modes.
watching and waiting:kilroy:
Cheers

A guy at Avsim said he recieved an email from Carenado and the release is targeted for next week.

[gajit]

Some more new screens appeared now :jump: :jump:

[waka172rg]

wow i mean they are really making me sweat :applause: they obviously have got old radio and new improved avionics for now day's approaches. This for me will be my best A/C in my hanger:ernae:
