I have purchased several Carenado products, and am quite happy with them. That said, I am not in the market for another C208 or any other G1000 airplane.
I thought the Caravan was an odd choice for an HD upgrade, their previous Caravan not that old compared to others. I would think some of their older releases like their Mooney or old Piper/Cessna series could benefit more from HD upgrades. Would love to see their old Mooney M20J redone in HD with a Stolle FDE.
The new Caravan does look nice, but don't have a need for it in the hangar. Still very happy with Bill's old Kodiak for that type of plane.
Cheers

182RG would have been nice
Really ? Most probably everybody would complain, why another 182. Why not a 208 EX with the much higher performance than the standard 208....
I would still love a Cardinal RG!
Bernt you do good work but unfortunately it's JACG. (Just Another Carenando G1000).
They need to step up their avionics game. If they implemented Navigraph I would buy every one of their G1000 releases.

Ryan hit the nail on the head. Carenado is churning out beautiful aircraft that have no avionics substance. If Carenado inked a deal with Navigraph, and got a coder on board that could integrate that to their products, they would instantly become the PMDG of GA in fsx. Overall the aircraft they make are great. But that would make them outstanding. I still buy them and piggy-back my reality xp to drive the avionics, but c'mon, Carenado. It is time to take the next step.

Interested in that reply Bernt, since I can't seem to find anywhere on the Carenado EX product page if it does indeed include the performance enhancements, of if this release is just the added G1000 and the updated cabin.
Might be me, but marketing wise I would spell that out if I was the developper. Unless only a few of us are interested in that side of things. But the EX does have a nice boost over the standard 208.
Cheers!
Just checked Carenados website and a quick glance revealed that they apparently never post any technical details in their product description.
On the other hand, if you are interested in the EX, the first hit when typing 'caravan ex' into the google search is the original Cessna Caravan website whith lots of comparison data as well. http://www.cessna.com/caravan/grand-caravan-ex
They should do a (non Grand) Caravan amphib and also a Pilatus PC-12 NG. Those are two really versatile aircraft that also use the high end glass avionics.
Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.
Indeed. Interesting to note that Flight1 has repeatedly declined requests to update their PC-12 (one of my most frequently flown GA a/c) to fully functional NG version as they say the work involved is too great to justify making/selling it.

I did that awhile ago Bernt! Actually, the first time I heard Carenado was working on the EX! Call me crazy, but I am considering buying this one. I think I will drop them an email to see if the performance updates are indeed included, or if it's just the G1000 and new interior slapped into their previous 208.
Cheers!
Performance matches the real world EX performance.
