FS2020: Carenado's C-182 RG II Review - Get Ready For An Upgraded Cessna Experience!

[@fantasypilot70]

Got it today and looked around and found your video on it. Going to use for this Sunday.

[@Huddison]

How are you finding it Larry?

[@pi.actual]

Tip: you can put the gear down at 140 kts, use it like a speedbrake otherwise it's hard to slow down. Also note that if you're on Xbox you won't get the 750, only the 530.

[@Huddison]

Great tip re the landing gear 👍

[@ArieGBoom]

Great plane indeed and added it to my hanger as alternative to my (default) WBsim172 Skyhawk, which is an excellent plane as well. Pity that it doesn't allow you to select the GNS430 as well, in combination with the GNS530. I have both as hardware monitors built in my panel. May be it will appear once in a future update.

[@Huddison]

I typically use the GTNXi Garmin in this aircraft (only possible on PC MSFS) and I find that combination to be excellent.

Bought it today, and in love with it already :)

[@Huddison]

It's a brilliant aircraft, isn't it ;)

[@rogerferraro6661]

I picked it up, and it is a joy to fly just like the 152 but has the power to climb and cruise as you say. My new favorite for just tooling around. About $20 US. (MooseP)

[@Huddison]

It's going to be a great all-rounder.

[@rogerrees9845]

Great presentation...I bought this aircraft on your recommendation....I must say it is wonderful... Thank you so much for your review... Roger.. Pembrokeshire

[@Huddison]

Enjoy it Roger, one of my all time favourite aircrafts.

[@RedRuffinsore]

Bought it when it came out. Amazing that it has nearly as good of performance that the push-pull Cessna Skymaster. You sit a little closer to the ground than in the fixed-gear Cessnas, which can lead you to floating over the runway on landing. I love this aircraft and the Skymaster. If you want to get an extra knot or two whilst flying, don't forget to close the cowl flaps!

[@Huddison]

Ah yes, I should've showcased the cowl flaps!

[@-TK-421]

Very nice. I will have to get this one. I enjoy flying the Cessna in VR.

[@Huddison]

You should enjoy this one.

[@Doug4817]

Well done, I was watching for the gear to go down and thought oh no. Yes, it is a beautiful plane and I will be adding it to my hanger.

[@Huddison]

It'll take me some time to remember that this Cessna has a retractable gear 😁

[@ronholfly]

Thanks, nice review of the Carenado's C182 RG the flap trouble could be you need to lower your gear down, caught you out but the warning jogged your memory.

[@wallymurray620]

My new favourite go to plane for most of my flying.

[@Huddison]

One of mine too.

[@terryfricker9642]

I think I will buy this for Xbox series X. So More tution videos for this aircraft please. Your Cessna 152 and 172 tution videos were invaluable.

[@Huddison]

It really is a must buy and you can bet I'll be making more videos for it ;)

[@mikecoffee100]

Another Spot on Video as usual and We are keeping well but land plant tax takes piority atm and apparently I would need to rent another hanger though be it virtual lol for all my aircraft lol

[@Huddison]

Great value this one Mike.

[@mikecoffee100]

@@Huddison deffo agree

[@alancookuk8154]

Definitely one I’ve got to get for the Xbox once funds are agreeable.

[@mikecoffee100]

[@onegoodknock]

Lovely video again, many thanks! I bought this when it came out and think it's fantastic. My only (very minor) gripe is the tinting of the windscreen. I would prefer it to be clear, or better still give us an EFB option akin to the Sting S4.

[@Huddison]

I hadn't noticed the tint (until you mentioned it).

[@onegoodknock]

@@Huddison sorry!

[@AlienTermite]

Yeah, same “issue” with the Carenado 337 skymaster. The window tint bugs me lol

[@thanhsontranv2607]

Your airport is look very nice…

[@ellonysman]

Hello our dear Favourite KZbinr Simflight😅...I mean HUDDISON!😅

[@Huddison]

[@Huddison]

Thanks for sharing your own thoughts.

[@AM-6030]

Lovely video! May I ask how you got the new multiplayer tags for the other aircrafts to display like that?

[@Huddison]

Thanks. This Flow video will explain all: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHWXc3evbrtofMU

[@AM-6030]

@@Huddison Many thanks, and thanks for the quick reply!

[@garywiley7886]

Can you please explain what is the eye tracker you are referring to? Where can I purchase it? Thank you.

[@Huddison]

See this video (it also has links of where to purchase it): kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooDCk3yurJp5nJo

[@randymccoy7759]

Never mind not available on Xox but Thanks anyway

[@randymccoy7759]

Were you able to install GTN750NXI? I can’t for some reason I’m on Xbox S

[@LarsBergman-ld7kj]

The sound of the engine rpm is higher than the actual rpm read on the tachometer at least between 2000-2400 indicated. Sounds like 2700 rpm at 2400 indicated and cruise rpm 2200-2300 rpm sounds like around 2500 rpm. That spoils the overall experience a lot. Carenado has never been good when it comes to accurate sounds.

[@Huddison]

That's an interesting observation; I hadn't noticed.

[@howardslade267]

When you purchase, do you have to put it in your Community Folder or does it install itself in the Sim automatically? Maybe you could go over the download and purchase operation.

[@Huddison]

If you buy it from the Marketplace it'll go straight into the sim automatically.

[@thanhsontranv2607]

Hi I also have a flight simulator. But when flight on the look down and see glass and bush.. and city is no house or building ?? Maybe are there some things wrong with my simulator?????

[@Huddison]

What version of MSFS do you own? PC or Xbox S/X?

[@Rookblunder]

I got this last week. But I don't have that tarp when I put the option on. ? Is there an option or something to have that on the plane ?

[@Huddison]

Check in the supplied tablet

First time I've come across that issue with this aircraft; not quite sure what's going on. You can see if anyone if our Discord has suggestions.
