Last time that happened to me it was because I had the Steam Overlay turned off. Not sure if you’re on the Steam version or not though.
Throttle closed almost completely without gear down will give you a nice wake-up call. Also happens with flaps too much extended without gear down.
Right - this was a different sound from that one. I’ll see if I can duplicate it tomorrow.
What actually impresses me is the fact that the sun-screen really filters light. Probably not Carenado exclusive this feature, but it’s the first time in a game where I see this happen.

Carenado has the most impressive twin-engine planes. And to make one of the most beautyful cockpits even more perfect, my instrument overhaul is ready 
Does anyone know what aircraft Carenado will choose to bless us next?
I really hope it´s the Cessna 310:
Or this fine Cessna 340?
Or the Cessna 421 Golden Eagle?
Or this outstanding beautyful Piper Navajo:
Or probably my favorite, this Piper Cheyenne
All of these aircraft are so lovely designed and good-looking and perfect to fly! Had all of them in FSX and one was better and more immersive than the next.
I wonder which one of these planes will Carenado choose to bring it to the next level.
Awesome I have just noticed that behind the gap of the GTN750 are the circuit boards of the cockpit avionics electronic visible:
And behind the air inlets is really an engine nesting with visible cow fins from the cylinder, and not just some flat black texture like in 90% of all other airplanes:
And the bolts on the hull are really 3D and not just some flat texture:
Now the question is, can Carenado bring the Cessna 340, Cessna 310, Piper Navajo and Piper Cheyenne and the Cessna Golden Eagle to these state of the art visuals?
I think it´s useless waiting for the PMDG737 that will take probably another ten months or so until release and I should get the Carenado Seminole in the meantime…

MilViz is getting close to their 310 release, so hopefully Carenado is on to something different. I’d love a Cheyenne or Navajo. I’m also eager for some of their larger prop aircraft.
Waiting for the C177 Cardinal.

has anyone gotten it to work with the custom pilot avatars and respect the weight settings? Stupefied this hasn’t been mentioned yet and isn’t implemented in a payware aircraft. If I set my copilot weight to 0 I don’t want to see a copilot. I also want to see my selected pilot avatar not some old white dude

Lol, you and your cow fins.

Moooh 
And the Milviz Cessna 310 looks good, not as good as a Carenado plane but especially the EDM is very well animated with bars for all six cylinders and a turbo bar (either for turbo temperature or power).

I wouldn’t. Least interesting plane they’ve released, and the most buggy. Once they released the Seneca I’ve never flown the Seminole again.

Yes I have noticed that the Seminole is more a “Flight Simulator 2000 Cessna 172 but with the most boring and generic and flat (almost 2,5D looking) instrument plate they could come up with, the only difference to an FS2000 C172 are two manifold pressure gauges instead of one” interior.
Not the typical interesting and comfortable twin-engine with very enhanced cockpit and unique and sophisticated instrumentation I am used to fly…
But I love how these big switches are illuminated, it´s a rather boring but still good-looking plane with T-tail… some day I will buy it when it´s on sale.
Looks like every single one of these big switches has a beautyfully illuminated lighting bulb behind it, almost like christmas when switching the lights on:
Typical for Carenado the 3D modelling quality is outstanding, all the rivets and nuts are three-dimensional modeled and not just some flat blurry texture, all these details in the metal when looking out to the engine nacelle, the tires and engine housing and propeller spinners and outerior lights and everything else is absolutely high-polygon and therefore fully round instead of angular. The polygon count and texturing are both top-notch and Carenado planes are not some low polygon and completely outdated X-Plane and Prepar3D models from the year 2009 ported to FS20 with literally no enhancements in the 3D model texturing and cockpit…
Maybe still a boring and slow plane after all, but a dream for every rivet-counter looking for the highest possible immersion of virtually owning a plane 
Currently I don´t fly my beloved Carenados very much because this endless weather radar problem and no weather radar (not on the Bendix and not on the expensive GTN750 GPS plugin) for several months now annoys me so much.
Yes, life was simpler back then.
That´s one cool prop deicing idea:
(8) Wait for spring until icing disappears in flight. If this is impossible always wear a parachute while flying the aircraft.
To exit the aircraft when too much icing occurs please use our jettison feature:

Good video!
I think it’s GPH not GPM. The fuel is flooding the cylinders for priming since the mixture is open and if it’s not started soon afterwards then yes it would be a bloody mess.
Only the best rocket engines can ingest gallons per minute normal airplane engines drink 15 - 40 gallons/hr depending on the engine size. Looks like this typical Continental six cylinder build into most Cessnas needs 12 gph.

There is now a young white dude as Carenado co-pilot.
I remember when buying my first Carenado (the Mooney M20 Ovation) there was a different co-pilot sitting inside, rather slim, maybe 40 or 50.
I really hope Carenado has not lost a long-time friend modeled as their first avatar as reason for choosing a different co-pilot model now.
I’m going to go through that with a fine-toothed comb looking for “do not taunt Happy Fun Ball”…
The really best rocket engines ingest gallons per SECOND…

anyone figure out a way to use Saitek Throttle Quadrant to move the props to feathered position? I tried using the reverse buttons at the bottom of the axis to trigger the Feather Prop Switch toggle but that was unsuccessful.
Also too bad the fuel flow gauge doesn’t operate without the engine running so you can’t properly follow the startup checklist. I just advance throttle to full then retard back to cut, switch off the boost pump and start her up. Seems to work fine
