44Gb of DDR4 Corsair memory

Odd number for RAM. How did you get that?

Hey thanks for the look . Was there a reason you didn't do any daylight flying in the video ?.Perhaps that would have showed the cockpit detail a little better .Just saying

4-1 and a subscribe. Do you thinkl it's new user friendly?

Cheers

Here's the manuals you get with it. Fairly typical Carenado fare, i.e. the manuals are okay but don't cover everything:

I just cranked it up quickly for a quick preview, and that was the time it was in the sim so I didn't bother changing it, that way you get to see the lighting too. As I say, there'll be a better look at it in my proper review, this was just a quickie for anyone who was curious. It shows the sound, shows it gets okay frame rates, installs no problem etc.

4Gb stick plus 8Gb stick in two slots for 12Gb, followed by two 16Gb in the other two slots for 32Gb, which makes 44Gb in total. Which is weird I know and I probably will throw two more 16s in there instead at some point, but for the moment that's the way it is.

I already asked someone. I used to won 182F. I'm assume it nose heavy on landing like mine? Also that default g1000 does it go radar page?

Just gonna check on all that. Wait one. Not flown it enough to make a judgement on the nose-heaviness. I bounced it a bit on the landing so we'd hear the tire screech and landing sounds. I hope people don't think that's one of my typical real-life landings lol.

Subscribed and liked, but I think your USP is your analysis and description. I'd really like to hear your thoughts as you fly.

BTW, quickly watching the (really very interesting) video of the mig29 ejection, two thoughts came to mind: a) Oh, the picture in the avatar is Chock, not Matthew McConnaughey, and b) Didn't Chock used to be the lead singer / songwriter of New Model Army....?

The weather 'radar' is realtime and does show the real weather in the sim

Thanks Chock. I appreciate you and your insights.

I wish I could understand all the petulance and hatefulness. Nothing new with that behaviour, I guess.

I was afraid they wouldn't able to tweak it 😞 Since real 182 doesn't have  onboard Wx radar

Well, I'm not the world's expert on glass avionics, but as far as I'm aware, that's a feature of the real avionics, which is composite weather data from numerous sources sent to the screen, sometimes as part of a subscription service. It gets called a radar (erroneously), since some of it is data gathered from radars, but of course not an actual radar dish on the aeroplane, and in fact is probably better than a radar on a plane, since one of those can't see what's behind a heavy radar return.

Whatever the technology behind it, it works well in the sim.

That is "nexard" option in GPS view. The difference in WX radar and wether feed is 15+ minute delay. So it's good to have but not as accurate.

Notice with radar version G1000 with actual radar you have option for horizontal  and vertical scan.

Chock you are correct that the 182 does not have an actual radar onboard.

Could be ADSB or XM based radar in the 182, I also see that the shot is taken at ground level which would indicate that it's from an external source as you'd have a LOT of ground clutter.

I did see the option for horizontal and vertical. Will check it. Normally the stuff I fly for real is lucky to have a working radio lol.

Yeah, I know that delay on stuff on scopes in GA aeroplanes has been behind a few accidents where people didn't realise the delay and tried to skirt around where they thought the edge of a storm cell was.

Trolls are usually quite large and therefore have large hearts..  (10 likes including mine against 4 trolls). The haters could at least leave a comment as to why they disliked the vid...

Carenado pretty much has the eye candy although no surprises there really.

Definitely has piqued my interest given that your computer specs aren't the best. Well done that man!
