January 22, 20233 yr Kinda off topic ish, but how is the 182 flight characteristics? I used to fly a 182 RW and loved it. Would love to have a good flying 182 in the sim but I know Carenado has always been an eye candy type of addon more than anything else. / CPU: Intel i7-9700K @4.9 / RAM: 32GB G.Skill 3200 / GPU: RTX 4080 16GB / Freight Pilot

Would love to have a good flying 182 in the sim but I know Carenado has always been an eye candy type of addon more than anything else. I can't tell if it is realistic, as I have never flown one in real life, but it is similar to the Asobo C172 of course, but with more power. It is very stable, and nice to fly. I actually quite like it. I think it is a great aircraft for beginners. I don't class myself as a complete beginner, but I do actually enjoy flying it. Maybe watch Jonathon Beckett's video (he does a lot of good stuff). He has just tested the updated version, and he makes nice, not too long videos.

January 22, 20233 yr Author Arming the HDG and VS on the ground before take off. AP should not be on.... . Then as you fly out on runway headiing, gain an altitude of about 1000 feet, you would turn the AP and let it take over. At least that's the way I fly. Also the ILS and RNAV isn't working with the 182 update. We just never had a problem until they did the update. I can stick with the Kodiak for awhile, till this is all sorted out. But again I do appreciate all the input you give me and appreciate you all trying to help tis old guy out. Happy Flying. Walt Walt Popowski

Autopilots are not all the same.. In the C182 you cannot arm HDG and VS on the ground. That may be the way you fly, but not with this autopilot. 🙂 Edited January 23, 20233 yr by Bert Pieke Bert
