the full pack carenado stationair 6 II

and the eaglesoft Citation CII

am i wise?

and does the citation have an easily useable autopilot?

thanks for any input

Can't speak for the CII, but i've brought two Carenado AC now, and both really chew up the frame rates( I literally have this problem with no other AC, not even POSKY!)...they look really pretty, but i actually have more fun flying the defaults!

The Carenado planes I have don't drop FPS at all for me...

Nor me.

I definately recommend the Carenado Stationair. Don't know too much about the Eaglesoft Citation, though I did own their Citation X once and hated it. Now that DID chew up the frames, even the low detail variant!

I cant speak for the Eaglesoft stuff, but get the Carenado stuff. I have 3 of their planes now, and their all beauties. No FPS drop, excellent exterior models and the VC's..... 8)

hey guys

so i made a membership with carenado and i clicked on the button to buy the pack i want, got to the bit where it tells you what is in the cart, but when i go through to "proceed to checkout" it tells me that it could not process. :(

do i have to wait a while for a confirmation e-mail or something?

Yer I had that, leave it a little while and confirm with the email it sends. Then log in, and the aircraft to your cart and  try again.

I have the Citation and the Carenado 182Q.

The Citation 2 is exellent, wothwhile and fun to fly ;)

The Carenado, although not the same plane you you're lookung for, is very good. I'd expect the Cessna 206 to be the same ;)
