    Carenado has one in the works and from the looks of it, it will be quite nice.

    I took a look as well because it sounded familiar. . .it's one of many nice aircraft done by Premier Aircraft Design.
    By the way, what was it about the installation that caused you to pass. . .it's no different than any other aircraft addon?

    Holy moly,
    I fear this will be a must have for me.
    Have seen one of these a few times the last days over my workingplays, flying some nice curves over the runway.
    Hopefully it won't be too expensive....

    As much as I like the aircraft, the cockpit shots are a kind of hybrid, the Dornier 228 is a hands on aircraft with no autopilot and steam guages, where as the latest incarnation the Do228NG does have an autopilot or weather radar as an optional extra but it also has a glass cockpit as standard.

    If at first you don't succeed, try, try,try again. ... or go read the manual.

    Other than the stupid white box light syndrome in P3Dv3, first runs weren't too bad. I like it. Still digging on what causes the light issue.

    I'm asking to see if of one you repainters. Could put an American reg. on the white d0228. Thanks for your time

    I'm almost tempted to get it, because I love that plane and for once, Carenado chose a version WITHOUT glass cockpit !
    But 40 dollars... What new features did Carenado add to their planes compared to older models ?
    Realistic turbo-prop engine handling ?
    Failures/tear/wear ?
    Realistic startup procedures and avionics ?
    Or is it still in the Carenado traditional style, which means "like a default aircraft, but with a nicer shape and a nice flight model" ?

    The choice of the liveries will be very limited. Am I right?

    It does look temptung. Im just a little confused as to what is being modeled. What am I getting for the $40? Systems etc? One thing personally, I feel like for $40 I should be getting a paint kit with PSD's at the least since many devs who charge less provide these. Not just the blank texture, but that's my opinion. The blank texture is not ideal to work with and extremely limiting. My while issue with the Alabeo/Carenado product is that for $10 more I'm into either VRS, A2A, or Milviz territory. A product is worth what people will pay for it I suppose. I'm just flabbergasted when I read their Facebook page....same people, same deer in the headlight praise and then same complaints....over and over and over. As always it's interior/exterior visuals are impecable. No Glass, so it should be an FPS lightweight...hopefully!

    I'm with you Rick. Many people (including myself) want eye candy, (but I want more hehe).

    But, as I always say with Carenado, modelling and textures looks amazing (TM)
