In the last days I was flying in the FSX with another iconic aircraft, the Beechcraft. Carenado Beechcraft B1900D HD Series for FSX and P3D. The Beechcraft B1900 first flew on September 3. Beechcraft is a leader in special high-performance aircraft for a variety of military and special applications. Malibu Mirage 3. 50. P HD Series. It is based on the real aircraft with the same name. The Malibu Mirage is a single engine prop aircraft developed by the well- known Piper.. It all started around 1. ELITE soon realized the importance.. It is one of the most popular airliner in its class. With a capacity of 1. Usually known as AS (Active Sky), the weather injectors of this line are accepted as some of the best available for FS9, FSX and Prepar. D. At 1. 98. 6 I got the first one, it had only two digital axis and two buttons. Since then, for my flight simulators, I changed multiple times the controller for them. The new project is called Il- 2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad. This new simulator mix the huge experience of WW2 flight simulators of 1. C with the quality and acknowledge.. It was made by the Cessna Aircraft Company and are still in production with around 6. It’s the aircraft more produced in the world and it’s very popular. The Path” is a metro simulator. This one are about the line that connects the states of New Jersey and New York. This line is about 5. It also includes other lines... Carenado Beechcraft 1. DFSX/P3. D. Carenado's 1. D is certainly a beautiful work of art, but does it measure up in functionality? Is it just another pretty face, but lacking in depth? Or has Carenado brought the beans to the BBQ this time with accurately- modeled systems? Well, read- on, as I take a look at their latest and greatest release, and my favorite real- world turboprop in this Air. Daily. X review. Years back, the first question for the ticket agents in certain bush hubs is the always hopeful: . In the hubs where it was a 1. C instead of a Metro, the reaction wasn't as bad.. The Beeches enjoyed a little better reception among the locals. I know my preference as a passenger was always the 1. But it was still just a narrow tube, and with some trips being several hours, the 1. C was not much better than Metro. I sure enjoyed flying it, although I still found myself doing the bent- over . Change can be difficult and embarrassing for some of us. It's a great airplane for Alaska. Gravel runways, serious icing conditions, and nasty wind were part of the daily battle and the big Beech always came through. I have been fortunate enough to fly this plane for many thousands of hours for three different Alaskan operators (not ERA), and my confidence in it has never wavered. Even with production ending in 2. Like all Beechcraft, the 1. It's very easy to fly and the systems are not too difficult to learn. Simply- put, it's a Beechcraft. Where the Metro was designed by morons to be flown by professionals, the 1. I've heard this more than a few times (mostly from Metro pilots) and I guess it's true. It really depends on what you are looking for. It definitely looks the part. More systems have been integrated into the package as well as some type specific gauges and functionality. And a new FMS... which I find somewhat odd. I know an FMS could be ordered as an option or installed later, but I have never seen one equipped in the wild. I'm sure they are out there, but I imagine it's a rare sight. It should be ribbed like the outboard section, above. Otherwise, it's beautifully rendered, as we have come to expect from Carenado. A cool new effect is the . This adds a bit to the experience and is a nice touch. Landings are Beechcraft- easy provided the speeds are close and you don't totally ham- fist it. And the 1. 90. 0 has computed v- speeds... Or at least more complete documentation including takeoff and landing performance data, so we could make our own speed data cards. It handles decent on the ground, at least with my old Saitek Combat Pedals. The required break- away power seems normal but you have to keep it spooled up to keep from stopping, but not really a big deal and I think it may be an FSX thing anyway. The sound set is good if a bit quiet on the inside. It sounds a lot like the real thing, just muted... Bose headsets on. The D models have a subtly different sound than the C models.. I could tell the difference. Since we're talking about sounds, lets talk about the Environmental Mode Control. It is nice that it makes a blower noise in auto or manual, but that thing is louder than I remember... Either way something should be adjusted a bit to blend with the engines. Another sound gripe is the autopilot disconnect warning. And this applies to the King Airs as well.... Carenado uses the altitude warning buzzer as an AP disconnect warning. Not good to have the same aural warning for different items or events. I don't know what the proper noise would be as I have never flown a 1. King Airs had a beep, beep type of thing. And where is the overspeed warning? As I recall, the overspeed test was a great method of waking up sleepy copilots. They nailed that hydraulic cylinder sound that the doors make when they open. But no tailstand is simulated. I wouldn't recommend loading much in the back without a tailstand. They look rather awkward sitting on the tail... Carenado has been producing some amazing- looking aircraft for many years now, and they step up their game with each new release. In the last few years they have ventured into bigger and faster machines, and now, with the 1. When they started producing turbine- powered aircraft, sometimes the systems or performance were not up to par, and in fact could be flat messed up on release, with a quick service pack to fix some of the issues. This customer beta- testing didn't bother me too much, I usually fixed most of the short comings myself with some aircraft. But after flying more high- quality stuff from Aerosoft and Flight. I think I'm changing my tune a bit. At this price point and complexity I think it's time for Carenado to step up a bit and start producing a more complete and functional product. One that is more accurate with the systems and also functions as it should. To explain my concerns, please follow along on a trip I've done hundreds of times, FAI- ANC.... I was wrapped in a different operators livery... ERA colors will have to do for now. Ah, Fairbanks in February. As the First Officer checks out the cold bits, I'll do the cockpit prep. Explaining each panel flow would take way too long and put most sane folks to sleep, so I will just highlight the important stuff. First off, I cannot legally accept this aircraft as it does not meet the requirements of its type certificate. No standby attitude indicator. It must have a functioning standby attitude indicator to be airworthy. The 1. 90. 0D was certified with the dual EFIS system which requires the standby AI. Kinda weird they left all the references to the standby AI in the checklists. Okay, moving on. Most everything else that should be here is, and most of it works close enough for me... Even the fire warning and extinguishing system is represented, and test more or less as it should. A check of the voltmeter shows a 1 volt drop across the Triple Fed Bus.. The cockpit lights even work almost correctly. The master light switch works along with most of the overhead light switches, but the emergency lights come on with the instrument indirect light switch. But.. and this is huge for me, we can now turn off the annoying blue emergency lights. Just use the instrument indirect light switch, not the emergency light button. I hated flying the Carenado King Airs at night because of this... I found a fix. I think they made us do a takeoff or two at Flightsafety with them on, but no airline I've flown for made us use these despicable, hateful lights as they were intended. I used them for tidying up the flight deck after my shift or other such activities.. Of course I never had a dual generator failure at night either. Love that door noise.. Ext A, B(squib), Loop, Amp, ... At least close enough. Here is another little problem. The cabin pressure controller. It is not labelled correctly (stolen from the King Air?).. Normally, we set the altitude one thousand feet above the planned cruising altitude prior to takeoff. That doesn't work here. What happens if you do that is, because the controller is mislabeled, it selects a lower cabin altitude, which causes the cabin pressure differential to exceed the max of 4. First, if it was labelled correctly, everything would work fine. Second, the outflow valves would prevent the cabin from exceeding the max pressure differential, and the light should only go off when the cabin pressure exceeds 1. A work around is to wind the controller to 9,0. If it was labeled correctly, the dial would show just under a 1. I used it this time for this review and I don't intend to use it again. If I have a fancy Garmin GNS 5. I bother with a clunky Universal FMS? Pretty normal other than a few points. Battery charge rate after a battery start is almost instantaneous.... It's time to fix the ignition bug. The auto- ignition switches shouldn't come on with the start switch(the ignition should come on, but not the auto- ignition switch). And if it is on(the auto- ignition) and the torque is below... I forget the exact value, but if it's below around 2. The Carenado King Airs have the same issue. I've worn the carpet down in that hanger. Run- up time. Grab your checklist, it's going to be awhile... I'm not going to grip too much here as for the most part everything is within spitting distance of being correct. Skipping some stuff like the Bus Sense test and CVR, TCAS test, and a few other things.. What I am going to whine about is the omission of the correct autofeather lights. Why model the lights by the torque gauges but then put them in the lower annunciator panel like a C model? But the test of the auto- feather system works, not perfectly, but it does work. And the prop governor test switch works too... Again some stuff works, some stuff sorta works, and some stuff is just inop. Line- up- and- wait. The external lighting is top shelf. Here I have the engine anti- ice on, which was an anti- FOD policy at all the places I flew the 1. But with the anti- ice on in the Carenado, I can only get about 3,3. TQ. In real life I would abort, 'cause something ain't right. With a PT6 and especially the PT6- 6. D in the 1. 90. 0D, you will almost always be torque- limited at sub- Himalayan takeoff elevations, certainly at Fairbanks in the winter time. Here we have low TQ and low ITT, so what is flat- rating the Carenado? In fact, I should be able to push the TQ up to 5,0. Flat rating a PT6 is done with AFM limitations and gauge markings. The PT6- 6. 7D is thermodynamically capable of producing around 1. They are flat- rated to 1. I want at least takoff power in my new 1. D. But I know why they do this. V1, rotate, positive- rate, gear- up, V2, 4. Above 2 thou. Climb power, after takeoff checks. Very nice. I'm digging the 3. D gauge action in this bird. That transponder needs to move to the center console so a standby atitude indicator can live in its spot. I'm very crabby about not having that little AI. Now lets talk about the EHSI. Like a lot of things, close.. First a minor quibble.. In GPS mode (this should be LRN, but GPS is fine for me), the CDI is white, not green. Second, and this is a major ding...
