Benny Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 To be honest, I told myself i would never again buy a Carenado glass cockpit plane, well I did yesterday. the C90 GTX KING AIR HD SERIES. With their Cessna 337H at my new ENSG i'm at 45 FPS +, with the C90, 14 FPS. Unless I'm doing something wrong, I don't get it. similar low FPS with the CT182T SKYLANE G1000 and the C208B GRAND CARAVAN EX HD SERIES. All have glass cockpit. So this will be my last (on this rig) glass cockpit plane from them. So I'm looking for a nice piston (or turbine?) twin.. I have the Realair T Duke but it's to fast. Suggestion? Thanks, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Z Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 My favorite twin at the moment is the Realair T Duke, and you are lucky to have it, as it is no longer available. After it, the only other twins I use right now are the Milviz C310R and Milviz B55. They are nicely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It runs very well in P3D now (if you are running P3D that is). It is a twin engine, turbo prop STOL aircraft. On my machine, with P3D running with max sliders, the Twin Otter is one of the planes I own that least affects my FPS and VAS usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bought the Carenado Baron... Will give it a spin at KBID Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadtom65 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Hi, I've all ways wanted the non turbine Duke and now looks like I never will. Does anybody know of any body else that does it. Did have a look but could not find anything. What about the twin otter, that's a good and slow plane. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I agree with Captain Z's recommendation of the two Milviz birds. Neither are turbocharged *nor* are they turboprops, but they both cruise along very nicely. Of course, the higher altitudes, above maybe 15-20,000, might pose problems for them.

Steve Colbert Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The Alabeo Aztec and Carenado Aerocommander are great on my FPS at least and fly absolutely beautifully - adore them both. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabs79 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I just bought The BN 2 Islander from just flight - I didn't have time to fly it yet but I loaded it up for some configuration tests and I got bester fps than in most of my other planes including RealAir. Reviews were positive, and performance seems to be ok with a cruise speed of 139 knots and great STOL capabilities. The only downside is the low service ceiling of around 13000 feet.

MotoDave Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I get poor and jumpy framerate with the MilViz B55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 Like I said above, the Carenado Baron is what I was looking for. Even if it's a few YO it still look good and it's fill my needs. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMBIII Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Milviz has a new (old) twin just released. It's certainly not as fast as any mentioned above. Cessna T-50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvdboomen Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The Carenado Baron indeed is a nice piston twin but I recently bought their 500s Shrike Aero Commander and that's a real gem! It's really good on FPS and nice to fly. If you like vintage radial engines than the free C-47 V3 is great and the Just Flight Lockheed Electra Model 10A is also one of my favorites.

petejohno Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The flysimware c441 conquest is on special at around $17. Great bargain as is their learjet. Conquest is a turbine but a great performer and is very well simulated by this underated developer. Got the lear for $21. Best bargain i have ever bought.

MotoDave Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I think the Carenado Baron is terrific. The 500s Shrike is on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MZee1960 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I avoid anything with glass cockpit or G1000 as a rule. Was considering the Carenado C90 GTX a few months back, got the B200 HD series in place. I find it has nicer interior, lots of repaints available online, easy to fly and very good on framerates - no impact on my system. Planes are meant to be flown and not static objects, and although Carenado has lots of beauties available, unfortunately none serve my purpose for smooth flights after examining their specs and reviews on similar systems to mine. I certainly wish the Carenado Phenom line did not have glass cockpit and G1000 because this is one beautiful aircraft. MJ's C-47 V3 is also probably the best freeware I have ever come across - reminds me a lot of A2A caliber aircraft. With all systems modelled it is a challenge to fly, but a ton of fun.
