Yeah… that’s most likely the case.

That’s a nice looking aircraft!
There is also a very good freeware turbonormalised A36 Bonanza from Rob Young kicking about. Totally transforms the default Bonanza.

I’m holding out for the Just Flight. I got the Carenado 182 and Mooney. Don’t fly the 182 much but I do like the Mooney. There’s just too many bugs. Not bugs really, just seems rushed I guess. Some things don’t work, some things mislabeled. Plus I just found it odd that they have been the only ones to release anything. And did so quickly. And you can only get through the market place. I don’t blame other devs waiting a bit for the sim to get more stable, I wouldn’t want to need to update every few weeks either because the sim keeps changing/breaking.

I got it on sale - all three of the Carenado models actually - and I fly the C182T the least of the three. I could have done without, that’s for sure. Agreed that the Mooney is very nice, and has become a favorite.
Another post mentions Rob Young’s freeware mod for the Bonanza. It is really, really great. Those two - the “Rob Young” Bonanza and the Mooney are my two favorite piston singles.
And I do have a soft spot for steam gauges, so the “Classic” C172 gets a lot of love too…

There are actually 4 Carenado aircraft on the marketplace so far if you count the WACO YMF-5 .

I got em on sale too, over Christmas? I think.
I’m very well aware of robs v3 turbo. Love the extra speed when you want it. I’ve actually combined that with the g36 improvement project mod into a single, seperate plane 
Just not a fan of the glass cockpits. I’d rather sit down for 15 min and plan out a vor to vor scratched onto a piece of paper

Just Flight. No question.

I had the Just Flight Arrow for P3D and it was tremendous. I’ve had Carenado planes. Their Archer was literally the most boring airplane I’ve ever flown in my life. I’d take a paper airplane over that thing. Alabeo (Carenado’s partner company of sorts) made fantastic airplanes. If you offered to give me the Carenado Arrow I’d still buy the Just Flight.

By all accounts the Carenado Mooney actually is the Alabeo Mooney redone for MSFS.
They seem to be selling everything under the Carenado branding for MSFS. At a wild guess they got a discount on the MS fee per plane on the “Caranedo” brand if they restricted sales to just the MS Marketplace store in game. No actual evidence for that by the way, it just makes sense.
It does also explain why the Mooney is surprisingly good, it is actually an Alabeo product.

I can’t see that either Carenado or Alabeo have done a Arrow III before so wonder which team is behind this one
Ditto for the Seminole. Visually it’s a carbon copy of the Alabeo Seminole for P3D, which was tremendous. Haven’t flown it in MSFS.
What’s a Piper III?
Sorry should have been “Arrow III” - thanks for the heads up I’ve corrected the original

The Mooney is surprisingly good and what you say makes complete sense. The Carenado models I tried in FS2004 and FSX were underwhelming to say the least… the Mooney Ovation for MSFS has become one of my favorites to fly.

The Seminole for MSFS is very good, though it suffers from some of the glitches found for aircraft with powerplants outside the centerline… to wit… it taxis all on its own when you release the parking brake. The AP behavior is not quite right either, but other than that it does fly quite nicely. Landings are (were?) smooth as butter…
I wonder Seminole ground handling is related to the change to resolve a long standing bug with aircraft with non standard engine locations that resulted in them having less power than they should.
If the ground handling was hand-tuned to the power before the fix it’s probably not right now.

I can confirm that both the Seminole and the Baron taxi freely when the parking brake is released. It seems that the “Barbie Doll Principle” is in full effect: push in one thing somewhere and another thing pops out somewhere else!
A Cherokee will certainly taxi on its own at idle power in real life, so I’m guessing the same is true of a Seminole.
