Thank you. My reviews are rare, but I do my best to make them quick and to the point in 8-10 minutes showing the highlights versus a full flight with checklists and lots of rambling.

@@thecorporatepilotdad 8-10 minutes was the Golden age of KZfaq. Now, most channels are releasing documentary length videos on a topic that could be cover in like 5 mins... There are some channels that I watch do publish documentary-length vidéos, but those channels are often educational ones thay have to explain concepts to people outside of the industry that the creator is in.

​@@N0616JCProductionsI agree, I used to want longer videos when things started to get shorter and shorter, but recently there's been a rise in hour long plus essay videos and you realize that they're just 15 minute videos edited together. Tempo is something that youtube creators still struggle with and listening to someone explain stuff really quickly for an hour or more in duration is just exhausting. You really have to be a genuine professional to have the experience to deliver educational material in an engaging way for long durations

You are welcome. There was a lot more to talk about but I had to cut the video down, so it wasn't too long. Glad you liked it!

Thank you for subscribing. It is very much appreciated.

You are welcome. It's a souped up 172 RG. Carenado needs to release a Turbo 182 RG followed by a Turbo 210 so we can cruise in the flight levels.

@thecorporatepilotdad I really hope they come out with some updates or, as you advised, the 182 turbo or 210

@@PilotDaveAviation I did read a while ago they have plans to do a 200 series Cessna and a 421C from previous versions of flight sims.

@@thecorporatepilotdad Subscribed from Australia. Very good videos! I look forward to following a more professional channel that also covers general aviation as well as medium and heavy jets. Unfortunately I have chosen Series X console as I am not interested in the Windows world or using 1,000 watts of power in a box that requires half a dozen fans.

Thank you. Reviews typically take 6-8 hours from start to finish. There was more info but I deleted it to keep the video on point.

The steam gauge panel and the classic 182 RG itself is what attracted me to buy this airplane. Steam gauges are simple. All the needed info is right in front of the pilot and there isn't too much information overload. Steam gauge airplanes are quickly becoming a thing of the past.

Carenado update their aircraft? Every day's a school day.

Thank you. Nice to hear from you! Hope you are doing well.

@@thecorporatepilotdad I am, thank you! PPL check ride scheduled for 14 July!

@@n8033fox that’s great news. Best of luck on the checkride.

The aircraft do not show up in the community folder. I'm assuming the file is hidden away somehwere but I have no idea how to get it.

You and me both. There are things I don't like about them (sounds for example), but I can't stop flying the Carenado airplanes. I have their Mooney, T182, Waco, 182RG, and the Seminole. I can't delete any of them and they are all still flown from time to time even though they will never be perfect.

@@thecorporatepilotdad baught the 207 sigh but it isnt too bad.

@@mikecoffee100 I am interested in the 207 but there doesn’t seem to be many differences over the 182RG. Both are made by Carenado but the 207 has a turbo. If it was a P210 I’d have it yesterday.

@@thecorporatepilotdad yes

Right, which is why I stated the first notch (10 deg) can be selected at 140. There is a placard with the speeds. Not all airplanes have white arcs and not all airplanes have flap speeds on a placard and must be committed to memory.

@@thecorporatepilotdad gotcha, it was just the line "well outside the white arc" that made it seem like you thought it was a mistake with the plane.

@@TheDornado Nope, not at all. That was me alluding to the placard stating the flaps can be selected to 10 degrees up to 140. Many Cessna single engine airplanes are that way. I have seen videos covering MSFS airplanes where creators state flaps can't be added until inside the white arc even though the placard says otherwise. That's the former CFI in me trying to correct errors.

You should consider sitting down with a CFI and go over section 2 of the AFM. If you already did that, get a different instructor that is more familiar with the 182.

Because that was the sim with a default 182RG.

First, congratulations on getting your instrument ticket. Be sure to use it as much as you can. If you're flying from A to B, file an IFR flight plan and get used to the IFR environment and stay proficient by requesting approaches when you can, even if it's VFR. There are no plans for any commercial videos currently. Maybe in the future, but summertime is a slow time for video creation. I saw you became a channel member, and it is appreciated.

@@thecorporatepilotdad Have filed 4 so far and came in handy cause got some actual cloud time! Thanks again!

All airplanes will have a nose down pitching moment if the brakes are pressed hard enough. Digital airplanes and real ones, especially tail draggers :) It's a fun airplane. There needs to be a turbo version for even more speed.

Thank you. My only complaint now is this panel doesn’t have DME.

@@thecorporatepilotdad I can´t believe this plane doesnt have DME. How you fly then? The real plane also don´t have DME?

@@Rikus1978 the default GNS 430/530 has DME on it. Not every airplane has DME and it’s not required IRL until FL240. A stand alone DME on this airplane would be nice.

@@thecorporatepilotdad Sure, for those like me that prefer gauges for pure flight vor to vor is a must, because not always you can do pure VFR in the sim.

Shoot, I forgot to mention that. That will teach me to take better notes. There is no DME but if the default GNS 530 is used, there is DME below the NAV frequency in the bottom left corner. As far as standalone DME, nope, it's missing but would have been nice to have. DME is not always standard equipment. I have flown many airplanes without DME.

I flew DC-9’s that the DME displayed only the distance from the station. No Ground Speed you had to compute it your self. Life is so much easier today flying!😀😀🛫

I noticed that but wasn’t sure if it was just my settings. Until then, this thing needs wide runways is a crosswind exists.

I sent you an e-mail with photos. The short answer is yes.

Or the vents fall out and become a pain to put back in while in flight. I remember there were two little white tabs/plastic ball bearings that had to be pressed simultaneously to get them back into place.

You are welcome. There are a few tiny flaws, but overall, the 182 RG met my expectations. For 20 bucks it's a great airplane.

Me too... Personally I love the A2A aircraft the best.

I do not know of a way to set hectopascals on the altimeter. Hopefully that can be fixed in an update. Just Flight added altimeters in Hg and hPa on some of their GA aircraft. DME would be a great addition. Maybe they left it out due to the fact that the TDS and PMS GTN units being added. If a very capable GPS is available, DME wouldn't be needed, but like you, I still want a stand-alone old school DME.

Another thing I forgot to add. Surely add strobes! 😊

@@stephenmckinnell7791 hopefully they will add strobes and don’t call me Shirley. (Airplane)

@@thecorporatepilotdad What type(s) do you fly? I flew the Lear60 for a few interesting months!

@@stephenmckinnell7791 I have CE500, CE56XL (flew an xls+), Astra Jet, and G200 type ratings. Currently flying the G200 and have been flying it for the last 12 years.

Yea when are they going to get that for the Xbox? It’s been too long!

To be honest, I have had a few issues with the AP flying the route with the default Garmin. Things work much better with the TDS GTNXi add-on. I suggest reporting your issue to Carenado. Hopefully they issue a fix. Updates seem to mess with at least one add-on aircraft every time. You can try to turn the avionics off and back on. Sometimes that does work, but not always (in MSFS).

Thank you ! 😁@@thecorporatepilotdad

Eventually. That’s quite simple using an application such as Navigraph.

@@thecorporatepilotdad is there a free software I can use?

@@MrBlueGameReal571 you can get free IFR charts for the United States on skyvector.com and vfrmap.com.

@@thecorporatepilotdad this all seems to complex can you make a video on how to find it after all I am new

@@MrBlueGameReal571 I would be about two weeks out on making a video like that. Maybe I can help here. Where are you flying from and going to? You need to find the nearest VOR then select HIGH IFR on vfrcharts.com From that VOR, find the next VOR in the direction you're going and look at the J Route Number such at JOT J146 GIJ J554 CRL. JOT is south of Chicago and that route goes to the east towards Detroit. Jet routes start at 18,000' and go up to 45,000' Here is a free FAA publication in PDF form. Instrument Flying Handbook that has information on victor airways and jet routes. www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/FAA-H-8083-15B.pdf - Page 1-3 to 1-6 talks about airways. This publication will also help - www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/instrument_procedures_handbook/FAA-H-8083-16B_Chapter_2.pdf - Go to Page 2-17

At high power settings at slow airspeed where the engine will be hot with little airflow (climb out), open them. In cruise and descent close the cowl flaps some/all to keep the engine warm. Cowl flaps help adjust cylinder head temperature to maintain a certain temperature range.

Now when I fly the Carenado Turbo 182 I'm just going to think dying sewing machine and it will never be flown again. The Carenado Seminole sounds like two dying sewing machines.

Wobble like what? Are you referring to a particular moment in the video?

The issue is insufficient rudder authority on the ground in a crosswind during takeoff?

I did a lot of testing the last days because I expected an issue with my settings or hardware! It is not possible to make a side slip or some cross wind landings. Than I contacted Carenado - made some fotos and videos. Lot of work! Than they testet and validated that it’s there issue …

but they didn’t say when it will be fixt. And I could contact Microsoft for a refund! 😢

Carenado has followed the same rule book for every airplane. Looks great but lacks realism. They don’t seem to change from airplane to airplane. Just Flight does have an amazing product with the Arrow.

You are correct. Nothing in MSFS is study level. That is the most over used buzzword in the sim community. The new word is “high fidelity”.

@@thecorporatepilotdad I think that's the real phrase, lol stuff we use at home isn't going to be up to par. I think I'll still pick it up

The aircraft is also very responsive making it feel very light. 182 control forces IRL are significantly heavier than a 172. I wanted to touch on this but it’s MSFS, people have different control setups, and equating what I feel is difficult to do in a home simulator.

@@thecorporatepilotdad I really hope Carenado consider making some high fidelity planes one day because the modeling and textures are just outstanding! Maybe some community mods too...

The Flysimware Cessna 414 has better sounds, avionics, systems, and speeeeeed.

How so? The controls are way too light/the airplane is over responsive?

@@thecorporatepilotdad hard to really put my finger on it. Best I can say that it feels like it slides around. And landing is awkward. Just feels weird to fly. I think it is most noticeable at low speeds where the plane just doesn’t have any weight. The attention to detail for the cabin is very good, though, so I am hoping that they take another pass at the flight model with an update.

@@JB_Hobbies its a small light aircraft

@@gibememoni I fly small light aircraft, and I can tell you that they don’t fly like that Carenado. Heck, I fly other Cessnas in MSFS, and they don’t feel bad like this one does, so I know it’s not the sim or my peripherals either. It’s this specific model.

@@JB_Hobbies interesting. What about it doesnt fly right? For me it feels a lot like the cessna 152

I do. Flying private jets has been my job for the last 20 years.

You wasted your own time leaving a comment on a video that is a waste of time according to you… hmmm

I guess your head is stuck in the sand ! There are always reviews on new airplanes that come out for sims... I love this channel as the creator is a Real World Pilot, and for those who are using the sim for practice and keep up in their IRL flying. This review is great to determine if you want to buy the airplane. Also, he can review Gulfstream or cj4, but 99% will never fly them IRL, so calm down!

Thank you for the kind words about my editing skills. Carenado did not pay me. I contacted Carenado 3 years ago to help test airplanes before release and they didn’t reply. That is the only correspondence I have had with them. I would never take payment from a dev to review an airplane because that’s ethically wrong. The airplane was purchased in the Marketplace for $21.34 with tax.

@@thecorporatepilotdad Dude, we have to flight together on share cockpit. Let me know. I will be on the right seat. As Instructor. Not as copilot .LOL Seriously. lets try do that. I want to do a Colombia Cross Country in the Carenado 182RGII. I got all to share. I will be wait for the plane. for free. I did spend to much money on add onns. And at the end they free.
