Downloaded, installed, engine run in and a few circuits around Hamilton under me belt

First impressions are that the whole thing is the usual great Carenado quality level. Lovely VC, excellent external detail, feels fun and responsive to fly, nice PT6 sound pack (external sounds great, internal seems a little muffle). Need more time, and of course an RNZAF repaint. AP took a little while to get my head around, and still fiddling with the GPS etc, but so far so good, if you're a turbo prop fan this is a must have really.

Weather has been total crapola up here today so thought I better include a rainy shot. Lots more lovely screenies of the model on Carenado's website if you're tempted.

Good solid 30's to 50's inside and out when buzzing around Mikes HamiltonX and NZNI.
No apparent impact really.

Couldn't resist!!! Here we are - newly delivered ... waiting for that RNZAF repaint!

I've put the rest of my pics here ...

Does anyone have any decent pics of the RNZAF B200 that could help me with the repaint?

Adam , go directly to Ham's photo arena downstairs in the forum , Shot it from every angle and every detail , may require a search and save and see what you have got .. or maybe contact Hamiltonwest directly .. huge library of photos for the 200 .

was going to buy it tonite,..then had to go into Auckland city for a band meeting and both myself and another band member got our cars towed..$250 each..amalgamated towing...language running through my head is not allowed here....very very very angry that I cannot afford the B-200 now to put it very mildly

Is that the typical operation of these tow truck people ? i'd spike the tires ! all four and see how they like it !

Beautiful Plane. Has everyone installed the patch they released addressing low fps and stalling issues? I ve only read about it. I dont have it yet.

by **Ian Warren** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 9:06 am

Don't have the 200 yet but i should think if there is a patch already it would come with latest install d/load .

What patch Andrew? Nothing received from them by email, and nothing listed on the Carenado website under updates.
You sure about that? Be pretty impressive to release a patch the day after release

yep there were 12 other people waiting in a cue to get their cars back,..at $250 apiece,..Aucklan citys got a Tri-athlon on today where wilson parking jack their prices from $20 an hour to $50,...then there is the $250 tow if you dont pay that...I am beyond words to how angry I am about it !.

I still will get the Kingair as soon as I can it is the one Carenado addon I have been waiting for ..I will not be beaten !

Bad luck about the towing Adrian, those guys are scum!!!

Now back to the B200. Have been reading the avsim forums this morning, biggest gripe so far seems to be from the idiots whingeing that there's no heading selector on the HSI. This stumped me at first but the selector is on the AP panel which you'd see if you had a look around. The whingers say there should be a hack to put an non-real-world selector on the main gauge itself instead of where the real-world location is (AP panel). Can kinda see the point, but its pretty harsh of them to be so critical about it.

Seems that FLIGHTO has a bug in his bonnet , id understand if it was a rubbish looking model - but look at the price .. this looks a superb model and with one like this ... you test fly it , Think I best go and buy my first CARENADO aeroplane .
