A2A Cessna 182T Skylane available

I may even try this myself although I'm not keen on system failures. I'll have to make time if I buy:pop4:

Open the window, release the rifle safety pin and :rocket:

Well, I am on hold this time. 182 is not 172 of course, but I know how it will feel flying it within my FSX

but no doubt this is an amazing add on, as usual, cheers Scott:very_drunk:

Sure it is. Fire up TacPack and set up some hostile SAM sites! It'll get shot down the same as anything else ; )

Of course, shooting back may be an issue...

I'm very sure I'll be purchasing, for multiple reasons, not the least of which being that I'm an avid user of the GTN gauges. However, it'll be a bit before I do, have a lot on my plate at the moment, both inside and outside the sim!
 
I really really don't want buyers remorse...I feel like Scott has more up his sleeve...I really don't want to buy a fixed gear Cessna if they've got a retract coming soon...but I do like all the systems features...It's a hard sell for me, because I do want to start flying something more GA, but that has system depth and is something I would fly IRL. The hand towing is a complete waste of time IMO. I have zero desire to simulate hand towing an airplane during my time to be flying...and quite honestly, if you are a RL student pilot and your reading this. Take my advice, if your flight school is charging you for simulator time in P3D and you are performing the A2A pre-flight walk around and or hand towing as part of it in the simulator...time to think about a new flight school...in all seriousness...this is cool for at home, but at the flight school level, you shouldn't be paying for that nonsense. It's expensive enough as it is. Do this at home to stay fresh..don't pay flight shcool sim-rates for anything but required instrument time. (gets down off soap box). I really do like this aircraft though. I didn't do the 172 or the PA28 (even though I have plenty of RL time in the Cherokee) mainly because I was hoping they would do the Piper Arrow or Comanche. But even still, I have flown the 182 also, and it is a gem. I think this will be my back country flyer (hopefully they release an update with tundra tires)...Well, I guess I've talked myself into it now! :D

That stuff is purely optional and really only there for those who want to use it. You can always position a plane exactly where you want it (or even just load it up at the active runway), and as far as the walkaround goes, you can turn all that stuff off as well.

That said, I think the hand towing feature is neat. Not the first time it's been done, but neat nonetheless.
 
I am not the kind of simmer who buy every new product there is on the market. Actually my purchases are few and far between. But now I have been looking for a good GA aircraft. I usually fly Carenado A36 but I would prefer a high winger and lost my interest for the Carenado products because they seems to be unfinished and never get updates.

I was waiting for RealAir C172 which was cancelled. Might this A2A C182 be the one I´ve been looking for? I´ve read a lot of problems with the fps, not good. The price is high. Towing and maintenance are IMO bad ideas. How badly the fps drops down?

But, can you help me please, is there any other high quality + high wing GA on the market or on the way?
 
I have a couple hours on the meter shooting T&G's at KIDP (GEX and UTX) with pretty busy GA traffic, and the frames have been no problem. I lock at 30 and stay at 30 with the 182.

Whether this 182 is worth the price only each buyer can decide. I own too many Carenado/Alabeo aircraft, and for the prices of their current offerings compared to the 182, the latter wins hands down... far more value in the A2A GA birds. Great modeling, great systems and depth (for those who like that sort of thing... the pre-flight, maintenance, tow bar, etc. can be bypassed), great flight dynamics. I passed on the 172 but own the Cherokee, and both it and the 182 have something no Carenado/Alabeo aircraft has... character. The A2A GA aircraft feel like airplanes... the Carenado/Alabeo can be nice, but they feel like "sim" airplanes.

Anything from A2A has been a sure buy from me, but this one I don't know about. 95% of my flying is done in the cockpit view, this looks too much like the 172. I have too many Cessna's already.
There has been talk of A2A updating the 182 with a Tundra and Float package, if that happens, I will buy it for sure.
 
Here are some pictures:

It's an excellent aircraft especially in combination with Flight1's GTN 750 :)

I really had no idea an A2A 182 was in the works! It looks particularly tempting with the F1 GTN750 installed. Although I think I'll wait this one out until (if) they release the Commanche or similar. I already have the 172 & Cherokee, and I'm honestly not sure how much use the 182 would get...particularly since I already have the F1 T182T, which I barely ever use.

There has been talk of A2A updating the 182 with a Tundra and Float package, if that happens, I will buy it for sure.
