But if you want to see the outside world… well you can’t. The aircraft performs well and is beautiful. It’s maddening that the visibility is so poor. So there’s no visibility in this aircraft. As such it blocks your view and thus you can’t see out the front window either. It’s for de-icing the windshield but it’s not removable. The front window is narrow and the little view that could be had is blocked by a big black frame that sits directly in your view. You can’t see out the side windows because those dual engines are huge and sit rather far forward. But it has one downside you didn’t mention and any perspective buyers need to know. The interior, the gages etc are fantastic. (and please FINALLY ADD THE WEATHER RADAR in the SDK, every single add-on developer is waiting for that!)Īll those pictures but none out the front window. Here are some screenshots, everyone should have this awesome looking machine in the hangar I assume it´s that old weather radar SDK problem again. Only switching between vertical and horizontal scans give me new (but again fully static) radar scans. There are two ampere gauges - an absolute FANTASTIC cockpit, worth every penny.īoth weather radars (the implemented Bendix weather radar and the Garmin 750 add-on GPS) are functional in a strange theoretical way - which means they show me a horizontal and vertical radar scan of the cloud formations, but keep the scanned image as a static image without doing further scans while flying forward into new cloud formations.Īlso changing the scanning range of the radar does not function. Well in the Seneca the TIT reading is functional.

The cockpit illumination is perfect at night, and the instruments are absolute gorgeous (but for me everything that is not standard Garmin glasscockpit is “gorgeous”.) But that´s not the full story, I love that the Seneca has a outside and cabin temperature gauge, plus a functioning TIT gauge (the Carenado Mooney M20 has no functional TIT gauge, the TIT temperature setting is just an empty bar on the right side of the cockpit on this EDM gauge.) The cockpit is absolute cozy and comfortable, the seats are very soft and ergonomic, everything is tinted in a warm brown tone.

After buying and testing the Carenado Seneca I found out that I like the Seneca even more than the Ovation.
