Carenado Question

Does anybody have any inside information on the Carenado payware aircraft company?  i am sure they have aircraft projects in the works, I wish i knew what they might be.  For instance, I had no idea they were working on a Mooney model until it was up for sale!  I sure do love the products they sale.

i did today, thought i would give a shout here too, because i like the site and the people.  Might have even sparked a conversation about what light plane they would like carenado to make next. :)

I rekon they should go a little old-school on us!

I absolutely love their stuff, i have a couple of their product... god i seem to have my share of paywares...   :o

Like in the topic in aircraft wanted, something like a cessna 180 a turbo beaver... something for the bush... i love to fly the U206 around the alaskan bush but its fairly new and probably doesnt feature much out there, so an older taildragger.... although that would make floats difficult... but an older aircraft, a pure bush plane maybe...

and man can i ramble!!!

Something like a nice FSX Aviat Husky would be cool... ;)

According to their website, they have stopped making aircraft compatible for FS2004, and are now working on an FSX only Cessna 152.

That sort of stinks about the 152. Good for training but not much else.  They used to have a 152 that looked like that for fs2002 I think.  I like 150's, they don't have much room in the cockpit but are light on the controls and have ok STOL performance, I landed one in less than 300 feet one time at a fly in, the shortest landing of the day.  Took me twice that to takeoff though!

:o they are going just FSX?!?!

That sucks!!  I rekon the majority of people still fly FS9, if not at least more than fly FSX now, and they make amasing models! I rekon it would definately be worth their while to make the fs2004 models too!

Maybe they could even allow someone to take their new fsx models and convert them back to fs2004... if thats possible...?

I am a FS9 user and plan to one day upgrade, when i have too...looks like that may be sooner than later >:( Wish FS9 had the water textures of FSX, then I would be happy for a long while!

Here is the E-Mail I sent Carenado ::)

As a past customer I think your move to do only FSX aircraft is a bad move!
I fly online and offline a lot and most everybody I know and fly with uses FS9

right... well lets have a quick sweep stake!

What is the betting that you wont recieve an email back?!?  ;D

Im amased that they have gone pure FSX already. In a few years time when more people have better computers s they are cheaper an when fsx itself and the other addons like sp1 and accelleration or whatever it is that i have heard of are cheaper and therefore more people use FSX then i would completely agree with a move to pure FSX but i dont think they will make enough money from just FSX...

And to be honest i dont think it will last either, i think that they will release at least one more fs9 aircraft when they realise the mistake that they have made!  lol
