Is the latest aircraft from Carenado for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 worth it? We will take it on a short flight down to Key West to test it out. From cold and dark to landing. Let me know what you think.

This plane is a lot of fun to fly, the detail alone in it makes it so immersive. This has become one of my favorite sight seeing planes in game. Stick and rudder flying is most rewarding.

Carenado for me once bitten twice shy , however this was an Informative and fun review Thank You .

Thanks for watching and commenting! I’ve found that for the money Carenado is decent. By no means are the full study level or knock it out of the park but most are under $20 and fly pretty well. Also they always look fantastic!

I really don't miss the autopilot in this plane. As you mentioned it flies really stable and it stays on course most of the time without needing much correction. I own all but three of Carenado's offerings to this sim, and I've purchased many of them in the older flight sims as well. I'm looking forward to your reviews of the rest of the planes so I went ahead and subscribed.

@@sprocketsimulations Well the Arrow got a lot of grief from people since Just flight came out with theirs, and while it is good, I still enjoy the Carenado version. I'm curious of what you might think of it.

Nice review and remember to turn on the fuel pump temporarily when changing fuel tank. 😊

Yes, great comment and very accurate for the real world. Thanks!

Nice video. A few minor points. Check handbrake on before start. Prime 2 - 6 times prior to start then check primer locked. Fuel selector should on least tank for start-up / taxi and then change to fullest tank during pre-take-off checks. Fuel pump ON when changing tanks during flight then off. Only other points are general re press to test annunciator, landing lights not for take-off (only beacon), circuit breakers, etc. Re circuit, power back when turning base (to lose airspeed), maintain circuit height, two stages flaps when in the white arc. Lower nose and trim for 70 knots on base. Final stage of flap usually not required but if taken then do so late final. In the real world I tend not to take full flaps as she tends to float.

Thanks for the info!! That is great to hear and know. I do these quick startups as a “quick and dirty” as I say in the video because most aircraft in MSFS do not care about priming to start. I am interested in why no landing lights for take off as that, at least in my experience, is normal and sort of a common curtesy to have them on under 10k. This is in the US. I appreciate your real world experience as this makes these aircraft much more relatable to fly than by a strict doc or POH. Thanks!

I have the Carenado Arrow III but really want to enjoy the old skool feel of that classic instrument panel! Is it only that nicotine brown or is there a black one??

@sprocketsimulations Жыл бұрын

There is a black interior as well. It is about 50/50 across all the liveries. The black looks 👍 Carenado might have some examples on their website.

thanks for this video guy This aircraft have an autopilot ? HDG /ALT / VS etc ?

Nope, old school at its finest. It trims out very well though and is a blast to fly. Look at the PA28R if you want one with an AP.

I have the Carenado Arrow. I like the old skool panel but does it come in basic black too? The Piper Cherokee's Ive been in were all black so...

It does! It's spilt about 50/50 depending on which livery you pick. The seats are a grey/black with the panel all black. Thanks for watching!

hey if i want to buy this type of aircraft where do i need to access? is it in the msfs store or via another sim market?

@sprocketsimulations 5 ай бұрын

Either straight from Carenado (maybe) or from the marketplace in game.

Are you using a vr headset?

@sprocketsimulations Жыл бұрын

No, this is a head tracker called trackir. Highly recommend it. I would like to go VR but I have so many panels and other toggle switches that it would make them unusable as I can’t see them.

No auto pilot.

@sprocketsimulations 4 ай бұрын

Nope. Old school flying at its best. It does trim out very nicely though. It is a lot of fun not to have it and rely on looking out the window in true vfr fashion.

@@sprocketsimulationsWell, you're right about that. I have the original Archer by Carenado and it really is a realistic flight model. But, I use Xplane and MSFS for practicing approaches and tracking airways. My real Archer doesn't have a GPS, but it is IFR equipped: KNS 80, 170B, etc... It does have the Century IIIB auto pilot, which I rarely use, by the way. It doesn't have altitude hold, so I'd like to practice using it that way. If you trim the plane correctly, it will hold altitude as long as there aren't a bunch of thermals.. But I've only seen one sim aircraft that has that auto pilot. If I remember right, it's the Just Flight Arrow III. It costs about $50. It might be the Carenado. Not sure.

no DME... useless for proper IFR training.

@sprocketsimulations Жыл бұрын

The GNS430 which is your NAV1 is your DME. It works of frequency when in VLOC. No need for flight plan or anything. You can tune an ILS and fly it just as you would in IFR training using your HSI.
