• Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Not just the Seminole but multiple Carenado planes are showing up as variants of the 170B

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

I have the same issue, but with the Carenado C170B and the Skymaster II. The Skymaster shows up as 2nd variant of the C170B. The Carenado M20 Mooney and the Carenado biplane also appear as variants of the C170B.

Perhaps in the process of adapting those planes to MSFS 2024, config files got copied from one plane and not properly edited for the next one. A classic copy & paste bug, but I am just speculating. It could be something more omplicated. :slight_smile:

Similar - most of my Carenado 2020 carry-over planes are showing as variants of the Mooney

The CT182T, PC12 have their own entries in the main aircraft selection list, and everything else is a variant of the M20R Mooney ( Seneca, Seminole, Skymaster and the Arrow )

lol, I’ve been looking all over for my Seminole!

yeah, it’s hard to tell - since a bunch of planes are MIA right now :wink:

I ran across it by accident just doing a quick check of every plane so far…
