Does the NAV flag on the HSI turn off when on an active GPS route?   In the 182 RG,  it stays visible.. I wonder if this 182 version has this bug fixed..

 

 

Answering my own question.. It turns out to be a bug in the WT GNS530. The simvar that indicates a flight plan is active, and which is being used to hide the NAV flag, gets turned off when an Approach is activated.  The 2024 C172 displays the same problem, and the bug has been reported to WT.

Now available in the marketplace for MSFS2020.

Thye avionics switch is on the lower left side panel. I was looking for it also but luckily found it after long time searching.

Hi,  I saw it on MSFS 2020 Marketplace, and almost bought it, but then  I thought it was for only for 2024. May I ask, have you bought for 2020, and it works?

Regards

Yes, I bought the 2020 version as well. The 2020 version seems to have a bug with the ADF, as noted above. If you don't set a nearby frequency at all, the needle doesn't move. Once you select a nearby frequency, the needle will continuously turn in the direction the plane is turning and continues to turn slowly. And I had a hard time reading the frequency, as if the font was too big. I reported the issue to Carenado. Waiting to hear back from them.

Many thanks for your prompt reply, and for the info on the ADF bug. I'm off to Marketplace now, as I want this aircraft. My family gave me an 80th Birthday Present a few years ago, of a trial flight in a Cessna. I can now relive the experience🙂

I know the feeling. I have been very anxious for this 182 for a long time. Back in the 1980's I used to fly a Cessna 182P, which is extremely close to the Q model, so when Carenado released it in FSX, I was extremely happy. Now I can continue flying the Q model in 2020 ans 2024. I had been flying the T182 and 182RG, but they just aren't the same. Now if I can just find someone to paint it for me as N85988, then I'll be in 7th heaven.

Fingers crossed, and I hope you will find someone to do the painting.🤞

Back when Carenado first released it for FSX, I bought it right away. I was so happy to finally be able to fly the same plane I was flying in real world. I repainted it myself, changed all of the avionics, replaced several other gauges, and added a new sound package. It made it feel like it was MY plane. It is so much harder now to do all those mods to any plane in MSFS 2020/2024. You would think that as the simulators advanced, it would get easier to do these mods, not harder. I'll put my request for the repaint on flightsim.to and hope someone does it for me.

I'm in awe of your talents in changing things in the Carenado to transform it to "My plane". My first sim wasMSFS2000, and I had never used a pc before, so everything was a very steep learning curve...but I enjoy a challenge, within reason.

I've got the 2024 version and I really like it for my low and slow flying.  The only bug I've noticed is that the magneto switch works backwards.

Also, I'd like to know where I would go to download any updates to fix the things that have been reported.

Thanks,

Roy

Updates would be pushed by the marketplace as that's the only place the aircraft is available. If you see bugs, even if you think someone else reported them, please submit a ticket through Carenado's main website to report it.

For those that reported other issues, has Carenado acknowledged them?

I reported the missing textures on the GTN750 bezel at night and this is what I got from them:

Greetings,
 
Thank you for your valuable feedback.
We'll consider it to include as a modification on the next version of the aircraft.

Carenado.

 

Looks like they are getting ready to release another Bonanza 🙃

I would expect based on historical trends to see the next patch for this 182Q by late May, likely after they finish with the 2024 F33 Bonanza (and assuming there will be a 2020 version a month or two after that).
