I see Carenado have just released a fully updated Cessna 206 for FSX (not just a port) - this takes their fully FSX fleet to 3 (Cherokee 180, Cessna 206 and Mooney 201) ..........but I also see they have a FSX Cessna 152 on the way - some screenshots here

I guess if you already own the 206 it will have to be brought again. Anyone know?

152 model looks pretty darn sweet!

Yea looks like you have to buy the 206 all over again - thanks for posting those pictures BK -

hmm I seem to getting a little bit closer in making a decision to switch sims but not sure if I would do it for a 152 but a few more a/c and scenery that is FSX only - it might make me jump............

Very nice - what's the deal with DX10 at the moment?
There was talk of it being "sort of " enabled for FSX, but not 100%

I believe it is enabled when using Vista and DX10 Gfx card but it is termed a 'preview'....which to me says they arent happy with it?

The self shadowing in the VC is a Dx10 feature

Finally somebody has modelled an older 172 - must be a reasonable demand for this one. See here - looks pretty good - as per all the latest stuff from Carenado

Nice! Hopefully this means someone is one step closer to sorting out the C180/185 series... happy.gif

Somebody else supoose to be coming out with one of those - FSaddon - the guys that did Glacier Bay and Tongass - makes sense really. Although I wouldn't rule out Carenado doing one as well as they are pretty good at releasing aircraft that people want.

That have a habit of releasing aircraft not long after screenshots have been posted so it cant be too far away.

They also have a Piper Arrow 1V coming out soon - although this appears to be FSX only. Its an avalanche of new models from these guys.

Looks like the FS9 payware market has stabilised short term, at 30%-35%
Worth serving.
Freeware is still an FS9 fest.
