Hi all,

This bird is a beauty...

She sure is, great shots!

Ooooooh very nice! I've been fancying getting a Mentor for some time and I have a feeling this might push me over the edge!


What colour scheme options are available with it?

Thank You all for the comments guys

K5054NZ, the schemes that come with the Carenado Mentor are 'Metallic' and 'Navy' colours.

I am using the Navy scheme

Sure is a cool aeroplane. Anyone know about its performance in terms of airspeed, VNE, approach speed etc?

Also I read that the VC gauges are quite choppy, do you find that Mentorman?

old topic i notice! haven't flown online with the guy for ages!

from my recollection he mentioned the gauges being a bit choppy - but...the explanation:

- the maximum refreshes per second a standard VC gauge can achieve in FS2004 is 18. Every virtual cockpit surface with gauges halves this. so two areas would be 9RPS and 3 , 6RPS. aircraft with 1 area such as the default DC3 have quite fine gauge movement.


anyway, i think both I and MentorMan prefer the Saab Safir from sibwings - similar cruise speed and idea. www.sibwings.com

Thanks for the reply hinch. I was thinkin about getting the Mentor but the gauge thing puts me off, I'm a true-blue VC flyer.

Haha and yeah I realise it was an old topic, Ive been known to do a bit of digging up
