[CodyValkyrie]

Fantastique!

[crashaz]

Nice work! Looking forward to hearing more from people who bought it.
:wavey:

[gajit]

Great - just downloading now tX for the HU :jump:

[gajit]

Excellent work from Carenado - all doors and front baggage hold opens. Just wish they would let the small vent window open. Otherwise love it. Also like the night lighting and new radios - some great improvements.

[bstolle]

How did you manage to start the engine? I can't find a start/magneto switch...
The high quaility engine sounds are very nice but I noticed that the FSX soundcone isn't utilized at all......strange.
Else, the plane is very nice :)

Hi - did you find the key behind the contol column?

[bstolle]

Hi - did you find the key behind the contol column?

There's nothing on my Saratoga panel. No key, no labels etc...(none of the selected models features a key)
The VC cockpit operation guide has this space also left blank...

Bernt

[gajit]

There's nothing on my saratoga panel. No key, no labels etc...which model?

Hang on a min - will have a look and post screenshot.

[gajit]

Hi Bernt

Its here - click with mouse or drag downwards

Hope that helps :ernae:

Now THAT's interesting. They delivered my plane without a key! :icon_lol:
Will try a re-install
Thanx for the screenshot!

Regards

Bernt

[bstolle]

Reinstalled, deleted the fsx.cfg, nothing. Still no key, no clickspots etc...
Emailed Carenado about that problem...
I'll keep you in the loop.

Bernt

[lawdawg]

I finally got her.
Too bad I just started my week on...
She looks really nice.

[ryanbatc]

Same ole Carenado gauges though I see....arggh

So they got the FDE right this time? Does it trim out pretty well? How well does the autopilot work?

[bstolle]

Takes off nicely without jumping into the air. Not nervous, feels definitely heavier than an archer etc.
Trims out nicely.
Autopilot works nice as well at least in HDG and ALT mode. (haven't tested LOC yet) e.g. it doesn't loose altitude even at 25deg AOB.
Like it VERY much!

Watch for alignment errors on the 'Passenger Door/ Right Side' and 'Baggage Door/Right Side'....They were off on one I'm doing by just a bit....

Painting is a lot easier when the mapping is done correctly!

http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd141/whippetstorm/sighsaratoga.jpg

GAH Come on Carenado! :blind:

I don't know if I should continue painting or wait and see if they can fix the mapping problems. I don't know who their beta testers are, but...

EDIT: haha CODY, I'm finding these problems now too!

[CODY]

Yup....Ever since they started splitting the templates....


Jeff

[CODY]

I wouldn't wait for them to fix the mapping....:isadizzy:
That goes a little deeper than a quick fix..
Also I'm gonna try 2048 or 4096 on the paints to see if I can get away from the 'Jaggies'....

Jeff

Oh I know, but its far from impossible. In fact, from past beta experiences, it can be done rather timely. I really don't want to release a paint and then have it obliterated by a fix, lol.

Yes - I never bothered to update my repaints on that.

[lawdawg]

I am missing the start key.
Anyone else missing theirs?

[gajit]

I think SG38 reported his missing earlier

[lawdawg]

Hi Gajit,
Thanks. I posted before looking at the beginning threads...like a true knucklehead.
I wonder what the deal is? I have never seen this before, on any plane.
Nice plane though.

[gajit]

LOL - i do the same. Yep - very odd.

[lawdawg]

I'll fire off an e-mail to Carenado @ work.

[pontiuspilotus]

Is it just me or does this Saratoga like to pitch up like that? Here I am, in "straight and level" flight at 12,000 ft cruising altitude above Tongass (Alt Hold mode), with the nose pitched up about 4 degrees from horizontal. Is this normal?

[gajit]

The pitch would depend on your airspeed?

[pontiuspilotus]

The pitch would depend on your airspeed?

Speed was 120 knots, maximum throttle but there also was a strong headwind if I recall correctly. Still, I didn't expect it to pitch like that. I'll try again in still air tomorrow.

[Spilot69]

I've found every single Carenado piper a/c a little too slow in cruise but climbs like a beast, and in level flight at normal power settings looking as if in a climb. Its as if they took the piper sitting on the ground and then made it level attitude in flight. Anyone familiar with Pipers can see they sit pitched up on the ground but in flight, no where near that, very level in attitude. And their Arrow IV is very slow and again unless I get it into a dive and up to 170 knots then it has the proper pitch for level flight. Really has turned me away.

[gajit]

Airspeed is airspeed into wind or down wind so you would expect the pitch to be the same in still air. Got to admit that in all my time flying flying a variety of pipers i never took em to 12,000 -rarely over 5000. Did go above that in a Meridian with a colleague but that was belting along at 200kts!!

[Kiwikat]

Now the million dollar question...

Who out there knows how to "add" a turbo to this baby? What CFG and or AIR modifications would need to be made? I guess it is time to study the turbo baron vs the stock one...

[waka172rg]

Haha i have no key either been using a screw driver :icon_lol::mixedsmi:
The painting is hard for some reason the tail goes mirror took me a few hours to put 3 lines down the fuse and the tail got me bushed:monkies:
and i dont like 32 bit textures to slow to load :(

[bstolle]

The attitude is ok!
120kts IAS IS slow. and 3-5deg nose up is ok for that speed.
A plane like the Saratoga is designed for the minimum drag at optimum cruising speed.
At lower speeds you need a noticable high AoA.
At 12000ft you can't even cruise at 65% power anymore.
Furthermore the wind has absolutely NO influence on that of course.
The only thing a plane 'sees' and cares about is indicated air speed, neither GS nor TAS.
BTW I LOVE the handling of the Carenado Saratoga. Flies as smooth as a Realair plane :)
It's a real winner

Regards

Bernt

[lawdawg]

Carenado sent me a fix via e-mail.
I hope those that have the same issue receive same.

[bstolle]

Same here. Extremely fast! :)

[pontiuspilotus]

Now the million dollar question...

Who out there knows how to "add" a turbo to this baby? What CFG and or AIR modifications would need to be made? I guess it is time to study the turbo baron vs the stock one...

In the aircraft.cfg (create a back up!) try a slightly higher power-scalar

[piston_engine]
power_scalar = 1.12

1.12 is an approximate Vc ratio increase between the non-turbo and turbo versions.

[Kiwikat]

[piston_engine]

1.12 is an approximate Vc ratio increase between the non-turbo and turbo versions.

Will that allow higher altitude performance though? With the turbo the 'toga can go up to 20,000 feet or so.

[pontiuspilotus]

I'm at work so I haven't tested this. I use the same changes in my other GAs and you get a slight boost in service ceiling. It's more trial and error than anything else, though. I guess one can play around with the horsepower settings as well, but the above normally works for me if I want a slight power boost to "mimic" some sort of supercharging. 12% correlates well to the difference in air density between 15500 ft and 20000 ft so it should work. :icon_lol: However, 20,000 ft is probably nowhere near the optimum cruise altitude for the 'Toga so it'll probably be slow as molasses at that altitude. This change is not that big so it probably wouldn't get the flight dynamics out of whack (don't go overboard with the power_scalar, though). Likewise you can change the propeller thrust_scalar by the same amount.

[Kiwikat]

Well after some tweaking...

http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd141/whippetstorm/saratogahigh.jpg

170 mph cruise at 20,000 feet. Not too bad for a single piston engine. It might even be a tad too powerful...

I've got an endurance of over 9 hours at this altitude... It can go a whole lot further than the non-turbo version.

[pontiuspilotus]

Cool! You forgot your oxygen tank, though. :ernae: What scalar did you finally settle on?

[Boomer]

I didnt the same thing several years ago with the Carenado 210. I redid the cfg to make a T210P.

I am at work so cant look at it but as I recall the main thing I changed was the Max MP pressure. I also changed the fuel flow scalar (to get accurate endurance) & that was about it. As I recall I got real close to the published numbers.

[Kiwikat]

Cool! You forgot your oxygen tank, though. :ernae: What scalar did you finally settle on?

1.1 for prop and power and I reduced the parasite drag a tad too. I think the fuel consumption is a bit low.

Do you guys think 1600 miles at 20,000 feet is unrealistic compared to 1000 miles at 14000 feet?

EDIT: Yikes the wikipedia value is off. Range for this non-turbo version should be around 750. I'm getting twice that much at 20,000 feet. I guess it is time to mess with the scalar some.

I guess the real question I have is whether 6000 more feet would increase range twofold. For some reason that doesn't seem right to me.

[peter12213]

Well I'm very happy with mine the way it is, and a lot happier with this than with a certain mustang release lol! In my opinion its well up there with the best of carenado products and is definately a step in the right direction and thats not backwards!

Nice shots mate, love the atmosphere. Can't wait to get mine, hurry up and get it to simmarket already, LOL.

[Kiwikat]

Well I'm very happy with mine the way it is

Hey I'm quite happy with it too. But it won't cross the Rocky Mountains without some major issues. I just want a turbo version that will be more versatile on my world hoplist. :mixedsmi:

[peter12213]

Thanks guys, but with regard to the turbo version was this aircraft ever capable of going to such high altitude I mean I rarely go over 10,000 in props so I dont know and I'm quite interested to find out!

[Kiwikat]

The normal saratoga isn't, but many of them are equipped with the TIO-540 engine which sets the service ceiling at 20,000 feet or so, more than enough to clear most mountains.

BTW Congrats on 1000 posts, Peter. :ernae:

[peter12213]

Thanks for the info mate, just wondering do you have wear oxygen masks or is the cabin pressurized? To be honest I didn't notice that about the 1000 posts haha lol:ernae:

One more shot from Scud river at night, the cabin is sort of lit up so if you park near it it looks like your landing lights are illuminating it! (but there not really)

http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/3198/200911613955671.png

[Naki]

Nope Saratoga isnt pressurised..you will need a mask/tank...only pressurised piston single Piper is the Malibu.

[peter12213]

Thought so mate, thanks!

Good luck with that...Due to the 'Copyright Thingy'

I asked about this once..there was only an Aussie site allowed to do it.
They did all those "HD Textures."
Drop Carenado an e-mail and see if any one can do them for you...

Jeff

I like their planes-->very FPS friendly-->have 19 of them-->but usually on such questions(Mooney other cut on the instrument board to be able to use other avionics) get a short stubborn NO answer

That's because the knobs and switches are modeled...it would require a new model be done for a 'flat panel'
At least we didn't get the old stuff as before....:icon_lol:

[Kiwikat]

Woohooo I've got the fuel flow so it gives a bit over 800 miles range at 16000 feet. I think that is just about right.

If anyone is interested in the modifications, I'll contact Carenado and see if there's a way I could distribute the cfg file or if it is OK that I post them on here.

[pontiuspilotus]

Did you modify the fuel flow scalar?

[Kiwikat]

[MCDesigns]

KK, definitely interested in your turbo conversion!

[Kiwikat]

Has anyone made an A2A 3D lights config for this plane yet? :kilroy:

[dougwells]

I too would love the turbo cfg ... :jump:

Has anyone tried putting the RealityXP 430 or 530 in the panel? I'd love to get some hints on how to do this...

The company I work for has a Saratoga SP (1981, Turbo & retractable gear). Range of 800NM is a bit on the long end. Challenge with the Saratoga is that cylinder #6 (back left cylinder) runs very hot. You can only cut fuel flow back to about 18 GPH even at 16,000 msl. Below that cylinder #6 exceeds 400 degrees F. I plan on 500NM for trips including IFR reserves which is often an extra hour or more of fuel in the tanks at landing, so I'm guessing 650nm - 700nm is total range with no reserves.

Is there a person or a company I could pay to make a specific paint job on the Saratoga. I'd love to give a thankyou gift to my bosses that have the Saratoga with their paint job and N-number. Any ideas?

Thanks for any thoughts on any of the above questions.....

Happens quite fast...Yes?

But.....She is a great plane! And most of the painting problems can be overcome!

Now if they only do a Piper Aztec...I can die happy man..after I paint a few hundred of them of course.



Jeff

[Kiwikat]

The worst mapping on the plane is on the bottom rear, where the bottom texture meets the two fuselage rear textures. It is way off on one side, but not the other. It is hard to explain. It is wreaking havoc with my stripes... :frown:

But yeah it is off quite a bit.

[butchm]

Hi Guys,

I've been thinking of getting this as well to paint it... so disappointed to see all the UV mapping 'challenges'.

I painted their 182RG a long time ago and I swore I'd never do another Carenado because of the UV was so limiting. I see some things never change, I guess I should not... :monkies:

I so wanted to do a 'slightly used' version but it looks like that will not be possible since the weathering will just get stretched into oblivion.

What a pain in the ar*e, visions of lovely paints... :pop4: gone. Hehehe...

I am so sad... I am beyond consoling. :(

Ok, maybe if I had a few beers? Hehehe...

Cheers

Patch for missing key now available:

http://www.carenado.com/ecommerce/links.php3

[FAC257]

I've been stalling as long as I can to see if anybody was going to post first but... :)

The first thing I noticed flying the Saratoga, was that the mixture control lever had no effect on the fuel flow or engine performance adjustments. I was judging the lack of fuel flow adjustment by watching the digitial performance gauge on the right side of the panel and hearing no change in the engine sound, while changing the mixture lever position.

Checking the aircraft.cfg file in the [piston_engine] section it read:
"fuel_air_auto_mixture=1"

Changed that to read:
"fuel_air_auto_mixture=0"

Now the mixture lever actually works.

Is there some logical reason why it was set up on auto-mixture or was it just a slight goof?

FAC

[lawdawg]

Good catch.
Thanks for the heads up.

[Kiwikat]

For my modification, I think that should be set to "=1". Turbochargers manage the fuel/air mixture, correct? I noticed in a beech baron turbo conversion it is =1, so I'm guessing it should be on mine.

If someone's interested in testing my modification, please throw me a PM.

[FAC257]

Kiwikat

This was on the stock aircraft.cfg.

Wow! N6362B is STUNNING! Well done!

I posted earlier that I'd love to have a paint scheme for the plane I fly in real life. The two guys who own the company I work for have a Saratoga and they let me fly it for free. I'm very grateful for that and would love to share an FSX Saratoga model with them that is "their airplane". Several of you suggested posting pictures of the actual plane here .... so I'm doing that.

Would anyone care to take this on as a project? Let me know what I need to do to help make that happen... I'm happy to pay a fee or to make a donation to a charity of your choice in your name ...or ....open to other suggestions....

Has anyone had luck installing RealityXP gauges in the Saratoga? I'm going to do some panel work next weekend and would appreciate any advice. I have FS Panel Studio which I have used in the past for 2D panels but never before for 3D panels.

For my modification, I think that should be set to "=1". Turbochargers manage the fuel/air mixture, correct? I noticed in a beech baron turbo conversion it is =1, so I'm guessing it should be on mine.

If someone's interested in testing my modification, please throw me a PM.

You do want the manual mixture control to work. The turbocharged Saratoga has manual mixture control. There is no automated control of mixture at all. Would be cool if it did though....
