Carenado always make respectable planes.

The VC on this one is especially good. I'm happy with my purchase.
I've been tempted to get "Sibwings Birddog", but the security has put me off, so this has quenched my tail dragger needs and the cub.
Pitty they did not make an amphibian or ski landing gear.

According to their forum over at Avsim when asked if they would release an expansion pack with floats, they said -

Yes, we will release a extension pack in the near future.

Hopefully 'near future' means by the end of the week

Excellent. :salute:

Don't let the Sibwings security keep you from a really gorgeous bird, Ben. I have never had a problem activating one of their birds - it's simple and automated, just one of those put in your email and reg number kind of deals. You only have to do it once per rig, and even installing updates or reinstalling the plane doesn't require re-registering.

But yes, this 185 is a very nice piece of work.

I WANTED the L-19 so I disregarded the 'security'...well it's no problem at all and contrary e.g. to other companies you can reinstall it as often as you like (at least on the same machine) and WITHOUT having to enter a code, connect to the internet etc..
It's a really SUPERB plane!

[hews500d]

Guess I'm getting this one next payday.. There should be some fantastic repaints showing up!

I've tried several times this morning to purchase the 185, but can't seem to get a credit card transaction to go through. I've tried several cards, but the payment company server keeps says "can't process at this moment" or something like that. Anybody else have this problem?

They grabbed me money yesterday at light speed!!

Hopefully they'll add an amphib, ski version, and a tundra tire as well.

I got the same credit card nonsense this morning, but I just tried again and it's working fine. Got mine all downloaded. Unfortunately, I have a full plate for the rest of the day, so I won't get to play with my new toy until tomorrow afternoon.

I'd love to get the Sibwings Birddog as well, but the Euro/Dollar conversion puts the price a bit too high for me for one aircraft add-on. While I somewhat understand UK/European developers pricing in Euro, it has dissuaded me from buying something more than once in the past couple of years. I imagine I'm not the only one. As such, I'd guess many sales opportunities are lost as a consequence. I don't mean this to degrade into a Dollar vs. Euro war, just stating the facts as I see them.

35USD.....2 tickets for Avatar 3D did cost me more and neither was the movie as impressive as the L-19 nor did the fun with it last as long

[Cleartheprop]

Payment worked fine for me an hour ago...:ernae:

Heard the same arguement many times before. However, it's really comparing apples and oranges.
For the record, I typically don't see movies when they're first run as they cost too much as well. Wait a few weeks until they hit the matinee and pay 1/2 as much.

I'm kind of coming across as a cheapskate here - so be it. :mixedsmi: I'd guess people like me help to keep prices down somewhat.

Dave

[Cactuskid]

Yep, I just tried again a little while ago and the payment went through with no problem. Must have been a problem with their server.

I just took the pretty little red/chrome version on a short hop from Victoria to Nanaimo, and I'm impressed. She flies nice and handles nicely on the ground. I can't wait to see some of the repaints that folks come up with. I'm looking forward to an Aussie version. Good job Carenado!

[Cirrus N210MS]

any idea when they will have it up at the pilot shop on flightsim.com? :salute:

[Cleartheprop]

Why choose ?

[cvearl]

Why choose ?

How do you get them side by side like that for screenies?

[Cleartheprop]

I use FSrecorder... available THERE

[DaveKDEN]

Anyone else notice the exhast pipe vibrating around? Nice detail!!!

Dave

[ryanbatc]

I 2nd Kiwi's request. Also, can we get some close up VC screenshots (from users, not the developer)? Is there a spot to put the RXP Garmin units?

Thanks!
