This is an ok buy for those collecting planes like me. It’s my only 182K. The modelings isn’t that great, but passable. The flight mechanics seem accurate and I do enjoy flying it. It just looks pretty dated is all.
I’d have given 4 stars but there is no sky diver that actually jumps or that can even ever be seen. It’s says there is but in reality there isn’t, or it’s very well hidden? Also one single livery isn’t enough I mean at least 3 for any payware should be made available, but that’s my fault for not reading the description completely until after purchase.
Really wish it did have the sky diver like it says.
Probably the least money I have paid for a plane, but one of the best.
I have flown a 1966 C-182, and the plane has very realistic flight dynamics.
Sound is excellent, and the interior and exterior is very good. I didn't find
an issue with the prop control, climbing out at a 1000 feet I reduced the power
and adjusted the prop and it worked just like it should.
Nice airplane, good sounds and flight dynamics, but the prop control does nothing to the RPM when you move it, it just stays stuck at about 2900-3000rpm during normal cruise flight unless you bring the manifold pressure almost all the way back.
