February 14, 20251 yr One of my all-time favorite GA planes is coming with the next update; Cessna 185F Skywagon lands in MSFS 2024 next week as a free 'make good' gesture - MSFS Addons https://www.mediafire.com/view/dz3buh31pti9cej/BoeingDriverSignature.jpg/file
February 14, 20251 yr Sweet, I've got a few hundred IRL float hours on one of those! Best seaplane Cessna ever made. Edited February 14, 20251 yr by ATRguy

February 14, 20251 yr 47 minutes ago, Blueline308 said: I bet it wont have the G100NXi. Probably a old time avionics package. Yup, the trailer shows a classic "six-pack" panel with a GNS 530. Floats, skis, and wheels. Looks visually very attractive, as is to be expected from Carenado -- we'll have to see how it flies and behaves otherwise when it arrives in a few days.
February 14, 20251 yr Author I think that's a Garmin 430, isn't it? https://www.mediafire.com/view/dz3buh31pti9cej/BoeingDriverSignature.jpg/file
February 14, 20251 yr Very interesting. Wonder if it will include an updated avionics. It would be nice, could even be a mod for it. Edited February 14, 20251 yr by Lotharen
February 15, 20251 yr I'm almost a bit disappointed this is a Microsoft Carenado release. (But free is free, so never look a gift horse in the mouth). A full Carenado release would have probably included additional panel options (I have never been a fan of the cream panels), and their tablet letting you use the GTN 750 units in addition to the 430 or 530. flightsim.to - map

February 15, 20251 yr Just took a look on Controller.com for Cessna 185F listings - lowest price for wheeled, 10,000+ hour airframe: $170,000.00...OOF, and prices up over $400K for some. So much for that idea. Somewhere around 2005 or 2006 my brother and I were considering a 1980 Beech A36 for a bit over $100,000. Had a cherry interior and decent panel with G530, new paint, and don't remember engine hours, but it was a 10,000 hour airframe. Beautiful airplane that flew like a dream and with 4 adult men absolutely launched off the runway. Lot of airplane for 100K but the hours scared us off. I can't imagine 400K+ for a 185F unless it was for a business that could haul folks or cargo for $$$$. i7-6700k • Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 • 32GB DDR4 2666 • EVGA FTW ULTRA RTX3080 12GB

February 15, 20251 yr well I remember my instructor checking me out in one & he said "there are only two types of pilot who fly the 185 - them's that have ground looped it & them's that are gonna ground loop it" - wise words - unfortunately (or fortunately) I didn't get enough hours on one to either prove or disprove his theory!!
