Can't speak for the CII, but i've brought two Carenado AC now, and both really chew up the frame rates( I literally have this problem with no other AC, not even POSKY!)...they look really pretty, but i actually have more fun flying the defaults!

The Carenado planes I have don't drop FPS at all for me...

Nor me.

I definately recommend the Carenado Stationair. Don't know too much about the Eaglesoft Citation, though I did own their Citation X once and hated it. Now that DID chew up the frames, even the low detail variant!

I cant speak for the Eaglesoft stuff, but get the Carenado stuff. I have 3 of their planes now, and their all beauties. No FPS drop, excellent exterior models and the VC's..... 8)

hey guys

so i made a membership with carenado and i clicked on the button to buy the pack i want, got to the bit where it tells you what is in the cart, but when i go through to "proceed to checkout" it tells me that it could not process. Sad

do i have to wait a while for a confirmation e-mail or something?

Yer I had that, leave it a little while and confirm with the email it sends. Then log in, and the aircraft to your cart and try again.

I have the Citation and the Carenado 182Q.

The Citation 2 is exellent, wothwhile and fun to fly Wink

The Carenado, although not the same plane you you're lookung for, is very good. I'd expect the Cessna 206 to be the same Wink
