Your personal reporter Angelique van Campen needed at least 5000 words for this Alabeo Piper PA32R Saratoga II TC impression and as a result, the impression has become quite long, so let’s try to summarise it a little bit. Do I like the Saratoga II TC model or do I prefer the older Carenado Saratoga SP?
Without doubts I would go for this one. The 3D cockpit is nicely modeled, looking good with not too much weathering although the throttle stand has some scratches. The instruments look good although you need to keep in mind that this Saratoga has old-fashioned indicator besides some Garmin stuff.
But there’s so much more then I like it, and it’s worth it. You can read here comprehensive impression via this link. Enjoy!
Hi William,
Then I’ve got good news. That airport/airfield scenery review is already written by me, but not yet publised for specific reasons.
Long story short, the Pullman-Moscow impression will be published after I’m back from vacation, somewhere mid if first week of July.
My apologies, it was a mistyping. It should of course be KPUW.
Your review of the Alabeo Saratoga was thorough and much appreciated. Not to blow my horn, but the navigational setup for the 530/430 is covered in my checklist @ .
I hope you will consider a review of KPWU. Its author did a wonderful job creating not only the airport but the Washington State University campus. My only criticism would be that the runway and taxiway are a bit on the dark side, as if just paved. KPWU is on the “dry” side of Washington and offers quick access to both desert and mountain topography.
Just curious … what is KPWU?
I checked the ICAO DB, but could not found KPWU or is it perhaps a miss typing.
