Carenado C182 RG II Released

[DennyA]

Yeah, yeah, I know this is where us weirdos who like to fly combat planes in a non-combat sim hang out.

But we're also mostly really old. So we spent a lot of time flying the old DOS (and C64/Amiga/Apple!) versions of Flight Sim. And a lot of that time was probably in the Cessna 182 RG.

I invite anyone complaining about the state of MSFS to watch this wayback to FS98.

Anyway, Carenado's C182 RG II is out for $19.99 and it's beautiful, feels like it flies right, supports the GNT750Xi, and is a great nostalgic aircraft for long-time FS fans. Top screen shot is of course Meigs.

An instant buy for me, and a real sense of nostalgia with this one. The C182 RG was the first addon I ever bought from Carenado, back in the early days of FS2004.

Gonna have to get this one this weekend!

 

[SpaceWeevil]

A 182 with steam gauges AND retractable gear? Yes please!

 

[jmig]

I am tempted. I have the C-182, which I never fly. Still....

 

[Cazzie]

Again I ask you, what else does a crippled 77 year-old man have to do with his $$$. Yeah, gone after mach schnell!

A simple beauty and one can personalize it too! Must go in and change that black to deep blue in the registration.

I purchased it right away and so far am very happy with it. Of course it always looks like the 182RG has bug legs when you retract in the gear but I really should in the cockpit not watching from outside.

The last single engine Cessna with a retractable gear that I bought for the sim was the Dreamfleet Cardinal. So it was about time for a new one. Carenado really did a great job with this one. Hardly any bugs and it flies and sounds just fine. And of course the excellent visuals. I also finished my first repaint for it

 

[Tom Clayton]

Other than the autopilot being on a constantly hot bus, I'd say they got this one just about right. I still wish more dev's would enable the copilot's visibility inside the cabin, but at least I can disable her visibility from the exterior so there's not a visual disconnect.

I hope they release the C-210. That was my favorite Carenado airplane.

I hope they release the C-210. That was my favorite Carenado airplane.

I agree the 210 would be really cool, I would also like to see the 206 and 207, I'm a bit of a fan of the larger high wing Cessna's.

A little "VFR for England, anyway" flight from Gatwick to Heathrow...

FSEconomy picks this up as a 182, which is nice.
