Test Drive | Carenado PA46 Malibu Meridian 500TP | Prepar3D V3 | 4k

[@nillermatic18]

Haven't been flying in a couple months and you have never let me down with plane recommendations so I thought I would download this and blow the dust of the old flight stick. Long story short it's 4 hours later and still trying to reinstall my P3d and all my add-ons and remember where I bought everything and forgetting all my passwords. So much for my relaxing day off work.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

+Millermatic18 Hope you get it up and running soon. Will have another Careando test drive ouf this weekend. Thanks for the comment :)

[@Mets747]

Thanks for being one of the first review videos for this add-on! I always like to watch a couple review vids before I make a purchase! Thanks for being so quick with it! Cheers!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

+Mets747 Was pretty keen to do this one, when I saw it had released. Will spend alot of time in the PA46, very fun to fly. Hope the video help :)

[@Steve-Slacker-Philipson]

Yet another brilliant cinematic test flight Shane. Cheers Mate.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thank you as all ways mate! This one was a little rough in some spots :) Appreciate your time to check out the video!

[@spinning_cirrus]

The textures of the plane and the clouds are stunning! Good video keep it up! ;)

[@AusFlightSimmer]

+Ákos Cantwell Thank you mate!

[@ZZstaff]

This version of Piper aircraft is clean [i.e. it is sleek and good looking]. Thank you for the video.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Your welcome mate, thanks for the comment :)

[@AvgeekCarGeek]

What an awesome little Plane :) Loved the scenery and the detail with this aircraft ✈✈.Keep up the awesome work massive like

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thanks as all ways buddy. Cheers :)

[@AdAndPlanes]

Amazing job test-flying this aircraft! As always, love the cinematic starting shots and perfect commentary.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

+AdAndPlanes Thanks you again, I have alot of fun making the cinematic stuff :)

[@BullBosphorus]

Its a bussines jet?? Or something like that? Amazing clean plane from inside a big like d4 it

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thank you buddy, much appreciated :)

[@silvermyth2119]

Gotta love all the Carenado's, just beautiful! :)

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Hello mate, yeah looking for to the new commander coming soon. Thanks for checking out the video. :)

[@allaboutstatus]

Great great video mate, nice to see cleaner carpet in this one too :) I like this aircraft, not a fan of glass cockpits myself, but I think I'd make an exception to the rule on this one. Btw u mentioned u have a top 10 a few times :) might be a good idea for a future video for ur channel. I'd love to see your top 10 aircraft. Hope ur having a great weekend mate :)

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Glass cockpits, well I guess it's a part of the future of aviation. The more and more I use them, the more I enjoy :). This one is really fun to fly! Was going top 10 around xmas, never got to it. On the cards tho. Having a great weekend :) Hope you are as well :)

[@nicegary1486]

Awesome Video!! :) HOLY MOLY 1K Subs a huge congrats! :)

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thank you, thanks for all your support! :)

[@torquaymouse2236]

Hi shane another great video and a nice little plane, carenardo do make great looking planes, but I cant get on with the GPS control unit in tem glass cockpit modles. Before you do a top ten aircraft your going to have to bite the bullet do yourself a favour and pick up the majestic dash 8 q400 awesome piece of study software, ive read comments other people have left recommending it and they are right. I guarantee after you've spent some time with it, it will be your number one on that list. And I'm with status all the way here, carenardo keep them carpets clean guys.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

I totally, agree their is a few on the list that I want to add to the fleet. Just need the $$$. On my list to buy is majestic Dash 8, PMDG 777 and PMDG 747 when it's out :) Again Colin, appreciate your feedback and taking the time to watch the video is much appreciated :)

[@dvwdfrd]

worth getting the sound upgrade from simmarket.. no more sudden stalls as you glance at the gps and hear no change in the engine note.. the upgrade even has buffeting.

[@codyn8539]

I am sold! will be buying this aircraft. Great Video! Thanks! Also quick question about scenery. Are any of the ground textures throughout the video FTX Global? or just ones included with surrounding area of the addon airports? I don't do much flying at all outside of the states of California, Utah, Arizona, Nevada regions. just wondering if I would be better off buying the ORBX regions. The desert textures in your video look great!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

+Cody N Thanks for checking out the video. Only US region I had at that time was socal. So most of that should be global and vector, except around the airports. I hope that helps.

[@Dkentflyer]

wow those textures do look amazing! Carenado do seem to produce lots of aircraft, like you am not that keen on glass cockpits but this one sure does look nice.

[@dantheman7357]

Very nice video. You do a great job and your commentary is excellent. Work on your landing approachs and landings. Reduce your approach speeds and reduce power in the flare. Then touch down on the main wheels and allow the nose wheel to touch the runway next. I love the job that Carenado did on this airplane. I have their Piper Seneca and the Daher TBM 850 and I really like both of them. Keep up the great work Mate.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thanks for the feedback buddy! Thanks for taking the time to check out the video :)

[@dantheman7357]

Hello, I think I was a bit premature on my landing suggestions. I just watched your great TBM-850 Carenado Video and your approachs and landings were pretty good! I too watch Steveo Kinevo and enjoy his TBM 850 adventures. I would love to own a real TBM-930. It would suit me and Mrs. very well for our travels to Las Vegas, Vancouver etc etc.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

No problem Dan. Yes how good would it be :)

[@mashal216]

مذهل جداً Fantastic video

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thank you Meshal :)

[@Turner9090]

Sucks my graphics card can’t handle the g1000 cockpit HD aircraft or I should say can just barely handle it so I’m stuck with the original PC-12 and JetPROP but love the turboprop singles such an awesome category

[@zachariesegaoula3381]

That was a hard landing mate! Ouch the nose wheel :(

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Yep, I drop it at the last minute. :(

[@nicovj100]

Nice video mate, but the landing speed was to fast it must be about 85 knots

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thank you Nico, yeah it was a hard landing. My speed was just over a 100. Thanks for the feedback, and for checking out the video :)

[@filipponesi6389]

Hi Shane, thank you for review. You appear to be quite satisfied with flight dynamics. What about the G1000? I confess I am still sitting on the fence because of this feature. All Carenado birds with G1000 in my hangar, starting with C208 and Cirrus SR22, gave me a lot of frustration in the past.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Hi Flilippo, apologies for late reply. The G1000 is improved in the meridian from Carenado, has been OK so far :)

[@wehowsky]

Really cool. Very good review

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thank for the comment mate :)

[@Rh92887]

awesome, thank you for sharing!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Most welcome Richard.

[@dreamaviation381]

Love the video. I just downloaded the same aircraft M500 for fsx. Every time I select the aircraft in my fsx, it closes out the game. What can I do to fix this problem?

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Not good to hear, I'm not sure. Could be many things, my suggestion would be to check the forums. Then Carenado support after that if needed. Good luck. Thanks for stopping bye.

[@adaptiveaxolotl383]

Another nice on Aus. Also not too fond of glass cockpits... How did you record the wing-view? Replay?

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thanks again for taking a look. Yeah wing-view done on replay, then match the shoots up through pro :)

[@ImazeVideos]

I have just buy this aircraft for x-plane 11. What are you do on taxi speed ? Why run so fast ? I have always to press BETA to cut speed. Any other solution ?

[@AADFWspotters2]

Man if had a private pilots licence and a boat load of money, I would either get this PA46 Malibu or a TBM-950! What a beautiful aircraft. An even better review! Carenado never disappoints! I keep saying it every time but your test drives keep getting better and better as well as all your other content to! :) Have you bothered with EZdok V2 yet? I have it. Its alright I guess, just about 3 years late thats all LOL! Hope to see you around my friend, and hope you had a good week, and a even better weekend! Best regards! :)

[@AusFlightSimmer]

+AADFWspotters2 Thank you as always buddy! They are both great planes. I haven't of yet. Struggling to get vidro out a week at the moment. Work has been crazy. Hopefully soon :)

[@dvwdfrd]

that’s why they are called ‘Doctor Killers’ - high performance dream toy for someone who learns in a 152

[@Maxseven777]

Is there a fuel selector switch? I keep getting a fuel imbalance warning after around fifteen minutes into flight.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Hmnmm, can't remember its a few month's since I flew the PA 46. I will check out on the weekend.

[@syaoranoji]

Do you use a traffic mod? I noticed a few aircraft in Palm Springs.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

+AzarathKhan They were all static from orbx. Didn't use and AC mods on this video. Thanks for checking the video out :)

[@joshmccorquodale9082]

Great video, what a great looking plane. Not the biggest fan of that cockpit though

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Yeah very different, compared to steam gauges. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video :)

[@franksafranek7766]

Is that a radar under the wing and if so do the results show up on a gauge in the cockpit?

[@AusFlightSimmer]

+Frank Safranek From memory Frank, yes thats the radar mounted under the wing. No its not displayed on the MDF. Cheers for checking out the video. 😁

[@wegodowntogether]

great video

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thank you mate, and thanks for stopping by to take a look the video. :)

[@hdiallo]

great vid!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thank you mate :)

[@konstantinfahardo4792]

Hey! Testdrive should be Testfly bcos you are not technicaly "driving" hehe😁 love your vids! keep it up

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thought about that couple of time, but Testdrive sounds cool. Thanks for the comment :)

[@maxkillers26]

There are 3 types (i think) of pa 46's that carenado made, which one has the easiest autopilot, and which one do is best?

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Most of the Carenado system are model very close to the same. Don't think I have all three to be able to answer your question. Thanks for checking out the video :)

[@whiteballwizard]

Like this one ;)

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thanks for checking it out :)

[@cdv0007]

nice video

[@AusFlightSimmer]

+Peter Young Thanks again Peter :)

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Please share, like and subscribe :) Thank you

[@adrielmarley3284]

Dont know if you guys gives a shit but if you're bored like me atm you can stream all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my brother these days :)

[@rickytyson8778]

@Adriel Marley Yea, I've been watching on instaflixxer for since november myself =)

[@puterausman7682]

This actually sell better than piper meridian website.you should get paid by the manufacture for promoting those airplane better than them.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Pitty, these are just from a simulator. Thanks for taking the time for checking out the video :)

[@rivvur]

Awesome Song!!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Yeah it's catchy :) Thanks for checking the video out :)

[@paulsheather7657]

The reason I asked about getting them for free is that carenado aircraft seem to just be eye candy. They look great. That's where it ends. I have a few of there aircraft and I am not impressed I will fly them a few times then just removed from flight sim . After RealAir and PMDG and A2A majestic q400 are the best

[@AusFlightSimmer]

I love GA Aircraft, It's just Careando make so many. I would recommend checking out Just Fight PA-28R Arrow III. Very detailed

[@paulsheather7657]

I would suggest you try the realair lancair. if you don't already have it.

[@MrPaTi3Nc3]

nice video mate :)

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thank you Sir! :) :)

[@jirkajr2220]

Great !!!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thanks for checking the video out :)

[@anuaviation3510]

great video like the plane do pd3 have dash'8

[@AusFlightSimmer]

+JJW AntiguaAviation Yep sure is, their is a couple of add on dash 8 that work on P3D :)

[@XBJAJ]

Hi some one knows what are the CRS1 and CRS2 knobs on the auto pilot, and when do they work i have been trying to figure out please help, thanks

[@bruno-sorocaba]

Damn it.. I'm trying to change the CRS1 (course) here and button seems not working. As I move mouse over it, blue light turns on and show NONE. I can't change the course on a IFR flight I'm doing here. Anyone with similar issue? Tks!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Sorry Bruno, I have't flown the TMB for awhile.

[@victorcarubelli]

Hey Aus, I'd like to know how you made your clouds so white, mine are not like that. Great vid, cheers !

[@AusFlightSimmer]

I'd say I adjusted the contrast on the posted edit. So not int sim colors.

[@victorcarubelli]

Ohh I see, Thanks !

[@eduardoforneck3335]

Is it just me that noticed how the IAS jumps in the horizon screen?

[@hajimetakahashi632]

why landing with so high speed?

[@AusFlightSimmer]

+Hajime Takahashi I have know idear. Sorry I made that video a long time ago.

[@hajimetakahashi632]

Landing at 16:00

[@likesouza1294]

como enbaxar ese jogo no celular

[@paulsheather7657]

do you get these aircraft for free?

[@AusFlightSimmer]

+paul sheather I purchased myself. Thanks for the question.

[@samryan7447]

really expensive tho

[@AusFlightSimmer]

+sam ryan Yeah a little on the pricing side, well worth it.

[@Flightsworldwidevideos]

great video!!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thank you mate, thanks for taking a look at the video! :)
