The distinctive C337 Skymaster, with its push-pull propeller configuration, arrives in the simulated world of X-Plane, with updated features and Carenado's fantastic HD treatment. Available for X-Plane 10.30 or higher and now pushing full compatibility with 64 bit versions, this new version is miles above it predecessor.

As an aircraft that already looks a bit different, at least compared to the numerous Pipers and Beechcraft on the market, it's important for it to have a well crafted model to do it justice, and translate its interesting design and character through to our simulator software. To that end, Carenado's amazing polygon optimized model, provides both a high level of detail that reveals every rivet and bevel of this great aircraft and while mitigating any negative impact on your computers performance. Five super high resolution liveries come in a variety of colors and designs that compliment Skymasters interesting shape, with one specifically painting the twin booms that extend aft of the wings to the vertical stabilizers. An equally high resolution blank texture is also included with this package, to be used as a template when creating your own personalized liveries for this aircraft.

An audio fidelity that's on par with the visuals is achieved by using a custom sound set, made up of high quality recordings of the original aircraft. They add depth, credibility to the numerous animations and give the engines the bite that they need for us to suspend our disbelief.

Unlike conventional twin engined aircraft, the Skymaster as its engines mounted in the nose and rear of its pod style fuselage. With this configuration, an engine failure will not result in the aircraft yawing left or raw towards the failed engine and will remain sky worthy to a degree, suffering in speed and rate of climb due to only one half of the push-pull combo being operational. Accurate flight dynamics then, that can match the Skymasters unique handling and performance, are a key factor in delivering a true to life experience. Which is why Carenado had them tested by real Skymaster pilots, to ensure their accuracy and safeguard the fact that they were delivering the best package that they could.

Please confirm normal operation of the app C337 with macOS Catalina (64 bit). I am getting some problems. When I try to open the instrument panel to be a clear one, without the two pilots seated, I get a non complement image of cockpit etc. After start what to do to have normal panel without pilots?
