Reviews (by Gary)

I would definitely have to agree with the other two reviewers that gave it high marks. Maybe the reviewer with the issues can check his control settings?? For the price, it honestly blew me away. Very good quality and what's most impressive is the developer is listening and making changes to improve the model very quickly. I was really drawn to pick it up when a YouTuber did a review and the developer chimed in and said he would be making immediate improvements to make the buyers happy. My only knocks are two minor ones. First, the sound is modeled to the Asobo Cessna 150. Not the right sounds for a 180 Lycoming engine. However, this isn't a big deal to me because I was able to edit the sounds to a previous aircraft I had purchased with a like engine to this model. That has already increased the realism factor. My other knock is the only 750 GPS available is the freeware one. I'm hoping the developer makes another update to be able to select the TDS GTN750Xi. Ohhh another minor tweak I did was to remove the engine rattle sound(bird chirping) sound from the sound file because after awhile, it loops so much that it starts to get annoying. I did however still give it 5 stars because it does handle quite nicely and looks amazing.

I picked this up on sale and thank God I did. I would be very disappointed if I paid full price. It's honestly just ok to me. The sounds are not that great as the sounds while it's at idle are not correct. It looks pretty but flies just ok. The DC Simulations one is way better in my opinion.

Wow, a must buy! I have to admit some of his sounds are hit and miss. But on this one, he nailed it. In my opinion, the Cessna 182RG is Carenado's best aircraft to date in MSFS. This sound mod adds the final step of realism. The outside sounds are now more "throaty" as the 182's sounds should be. The inside sounds are really nice as well especially when you open/close the windows and doors. I only wish he could modify his Seneca V sounds and make them as good as these are. But these sounds are definitely "on point" as my kids would say!

I have to admit I was hesitant at first to get this plane and finally picked it up when it went on sale. Ironically, it sat in my virtual hangar for months until I picked up the GTN750Xi and realized it was capable in this little baby. Wow, I must admit, I was very pleasantly surprised by the graphics and the features this plane has. I think it's a tad too fast, that's why I gave it 4 as opposed to 4 stars, but I love the engine vibrations and the overall performance of it. The developer did a nice job!

This is a really sweet little plane! The only thing that could possibly make it better would be wind sound blowing as you are putting around in this little baby. But that is definitely no knock to the developers, hopefully a suggestion in an update???(Wink, wink) In all seriousness, job well done. Definitely 5 stars!

I have to agree with one of the other reviewers as well that's it just OK. It certainly is pretty, but it's really slow. It's not nimble as far as handling and a big part of the realism for a plane for me is the sound, and this little baby sounds like it's got the default Cessna 172 sounds. That is a definite killer for me! I did give it 3 stars because it's a pretty model.

I have to agree with the previous reviewer. Lots of eye candy and very good performance. The graphics are very well done on this plane. I was quite pleased with it especially for the price. It is very slow though. Don't expect to whiz around the skies in it. My only gripe per se is that all of the gauges and writing is in Russian. I know that it means that the developer was very accurate in it's reproduction of the aircraft but I wish there would be one repaint with English writing. I still give it 5 stars but this would be a nice added feature. Gary

I spent a lot of time in the Tomahawk as it was the plane that I got my PPL in over 15 years ago. Unfortunately, the sounds here are nowhere close. They're a bit too throaty inside and out. I've bought from Synchro-Soft before but this particular sound set I won't go anywhere near.
