bless your heart…
Did a quick flight from Victoria to Vancouver on my lunch hour so I could make this plane a bit Canadian. It’s nicely done, as you’d expect from Carenado, but given that it was moved the Canadian Local Legend status, it would be nice to see two egregious omissions addressed in a future update:
-
No float version! Yes, updates don’t usually add all-new features on these, but c’mon, it’s Canada. We need floats to get to a lot of the people here!
-
Um, not even a single Canadian livery? C’mon, that shoulda been a given. So many attractive options…
That said, though, it’s a beautiful interpretation of the classic, and flies well. Nice plane for $15!
Carenado seems allergic to the idea of putting floats on any of their MSFS releases, despite making a lot of aircraft where floatplane versions seem like they would be highly appropriate. Maybe they reviewed the sorry state of the water physics when the sim launched and just decided not to bother, I wouldn’t entirely blame them.
That’s a fresh air vent.
I agree that it handles well but, to me, it seems a bit underpowered.
2 failed purchases of Cessna 195 on marketplace, but credit card has been charged twice, this really sucks.
Dont quite know what to do now. I have Steam MSFS.
Will do some forum searching, but suspect I have just lost $42 NZ.
File a Zendesk bug report… I had trouble with every purchase for a few months earlier this year (seems cleared up for me now) and while the support isn’t speedy, they did resolve the issues for me.
I do not buy much off Marketplace, and 1st time this has happened.
Not looking forward to using Zendesk, another 1st for me.
Safe flights.
Yeah that’s a bummer
But I will say this, I’ve also had several issues in the past and like another poster said, they’re not super quick, but they have always resolved them, without any fuss.
Restarting the sim fixed it for me after one failed attempt.
I got to fly a 195 a few years ago. Amazing machine.
I wish i had bought it (in real life) when the opportunity (almost) came up!
Finally I managed to buy and download it
Where the is the manual?
Why is it so hard for MS/Asobo to include a manual to their planes?
A little first look at the wonderful Cessna 195 and world update XI! Brief overview, history, takeoff, cruise, approach, and landing. All into one of the new bespoke airports of Castlegar.
Enjoy!
It’s a real shame they didn’t include a floats variant. I know MSFS water physics kinda suck but I still enjoy a good float plane or flying boat anyway and the floats version of the 195 is quite the looker I must say.
That Constellation-esque tail is so snazzy.
It’s a looker anyway, and the floats just enhance it, especially in the polished aluminium (aluminum for you inhabitants of the far west)
Beautiful aircraft!
You mean the Colonies, I presume
This is a wonderful ride! The radial engine is lovely! I spend most of my flight time in the Waco Y-MF5. I am very happy with this addition to my fleet.
Nice plane for the price in my opinion.
Anyone know how to move the cockpit camera position back in VR? For me it seems like I’m too forward and the yoke is right up against my chest.
