    Waco YMF-5

    Looks like Carenado snuck one in on us - or at least me. I haven't heard anything about this release, and it isn't even on their website. The screenshots in the Marketplace look sweet, and at only half the price of the rest of their stuff, I might just be persuaded to get this one.

    thanks for the HU - had to have it in this sim because it was one of my regulars in FSX. WOW does it look good in MSFS
    It also helps to be on the inside track for Carenado as all systems appear to function properly - including elevator trim.
    Seems the soundtrack is also improved over previous FSX release - just throttle back to around 30% as you descend to pattern altitude and listen to that heavy wooden prop saw through the air...

    Picked it it and love it. A bargain for the price! I was going to comment on the sound too; really nice radial sound. Flies great too!

    This should make a great sight-seeing ride. I had it in P3D V4. Never could get the textures to work in V5, however. A bit of open cockpit luxury.

    I tried a repaint, but I'm not sure it is at all possible...
    You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.
    For MFS paints go to flightsim.to

    Mmmmh, it may have been a bit too fast on the Alaskan one then.
    As for the props, I'm not sure what happens there. I have a busy week ahead, but hopefully next weekend I can find time to look at it, please be patient?

    Did you ever get one, Tom?

    After watching a few YouTube reviews about the Waco, I decided to fork over some $ to Carenado.

    It's the only add-on anything that I have paid for, so far. Really looking forward to a C-47/DC-3 release some day.

    At any rate, I was afraid that on any day Carenado might up the price on this little bargain basement priced bad-boy.

    After several days in that wonderful open-air cockpit, I can tell you that I do NOT regret it.

    A real-steal, IMHO!
