Looks like I should purchase just for the memories! Here is a shot from FS5.1

Things sure have improved...

The blue one above is @Tim-HH's and he's got a few more up his sleeve!

Beautiful pictures Ryan! And indeed here is the next one: https://flightsim.to/file/56965/carenado-c182-rg-ii-n106rm-custom-registration

40th Anniversary Meigs Field + Drzewiecki Design Chicago Landmarks + Carenado 182RG = Pure Nostalgia. We are just missing the blimp.. 😏 

Hoping Carenado can add strobe lights in an update

Carenado strobe lights used to be the best in FSX / P3D.  It is just another thing MSFS doesn't do well at the moment so they can't implement it correctly.

Strobe flashes are pathetic in the sim, along with runway approach lighting  Another basic thing that still isn't right.

Like others, I bought it mostly for it's nostalgic value and it has satisfied that in every way.  I have experienced one thing (well several, but nothing serious - except) and that is RNAV does not seem to work at many airports (some yes, mostly no).  I have thought that maybe my copy of MSFS 2020 was corrupted, but other aircraft are working fine.  Anyone else with this problem?  I may just reinstall MSFS 2020 if you haven't had the problem but haven't figured how to completely uninstall while using Steam.

Can you give an example of RNAV not working, so I can check?

I cannot believe that reinstalling MSFS would accomplish anything 😉

Just finalizing this one.  After painting it a few times I've noticed some glaring mirroring bugs on Carenado's end... nothing I can do.  But I'll publish this paint anyway cause it's cool enough

Ryan, your paints are truly amazing! I absolutely love them. Thank you for sharing.

@ryanbatc I am not sure if this would worth it, or possible but.. Could you do a repaint of the FS5.1/FS95/FS98 era Cessna? I'm talking pixelated and all. Lol

Someone did that paint I believe (well no pixelated version hehe that might actually be harder to make)

Wow, these repaints are stunning! Trying to resist buying this, because I'm not sure how much I'd fly it after the novelty wears off. It's incredibly tempting, though.

It is not a lot of money... 😎

Exactly. Fly it until the novelty wears off then. What's wrong with that? 

Is there a hotfix already? In a Youtube review I saw the autopilot is on without power. I don't understand how something obvious like this isn't tackled in a beta. I'll get this one after the first update.
