SOH-CM-2024
Yesterday, I purchased the Carenado C-182T. I had read and watched reviews on the airplane before deciding to fork up the $30.00. After buying it I am satisfied with the purchase. In other words, I have spent more money for less airplane in the past. I consider this to be the best "default" airplane currently in MSFS 2020.
It is a typical Carenado built. Nice on the eyes, but not so much in the head. Don't get me wrong, however. It is better than any of the prop GA airplanes currently residing in MSFS. For one, the autopilot works. I was able to do a typical GA flight. IFR to 5000 direct to another airport with a transition to an ILS and visual landing. What more can you ask for a Cessna 182? I flew a C-182 for business purposes. This model handles much like I remember mine doing. I didn't have the G 1000, however, just a Garmin 120 GPS with a tiny little bitty screen.
The G1000 does not have the synthetic vision found in the default GA aircraft. It is my understand that this particular model 182 did not have it in real life, so it wasn't included. The lack of synthetic vision doesn't bother me. I spent my life flying without it, so, while helpful, I don't need it now.
The sunshade comes down, but it was too high to do any good.
The doors and windows open, hello MSFS.
It comes with three liveries a red, blue and gold/green. In what seems to me to be one lazy ass omission by Carenado, all the thumbnails are all the same, the red color scheme.
All in all, as I said earlier, I like the plane. Now, if they would develop the C-210 and their PC-12 for MSFS, They would have two more purchases.
P.S. A float C-206 would be nice too.
