Wel yes, now I have made up my mind. I am not going to get the Eaglesoft Cirrus SR-20 or the F1 Pilatus PC-12. But I am going to get the Carenado's Cessna 182 Skylane II RG. I looks amazing and just seems great. I love GA flying and I love older airplanes. This just is a perfect match.

I have got the Pilatus PC-12. It is excellent. I trust that you will enjoy the others my friend.

I looked it over and read the review. I am sure you will enjoy it. I grabbed their two free downloads, just to take a look. (Oops, they are for FS2000).

Until recently, I hadn't been interested in GA flying, but after a bunch of short runs for the VA I fly for and medium to long runs for my "private" airline, and those clandestine things I was doing with the C-130, I felt the need to relax and have fun. So I got FSD's Cessna 337 dual prop (push/pull) and on weekends, I have it parked at St. Maarten where I fly around the Carribean just to enjoy the scenery.

Have fun with your new plane.

I just picked it up today too. I'm very happy with the frame rates and visuals. I LOVE the radio stack! But sadly, I havn't tested the flight model yet. I was all set to use in a VFR flyin today out in the SFO area on VATSIM, but the general consensus was to fly at about 160 kts, and the 182 definitly can't pull that off 😉 . I'll try it out this week sometime

Wow Jared, you weren't kidding 😳

This plane has definitliy moved up to one of the best in my hanger overnight! Simply amazing!

The performance of this bird is incredible, it's actually a real JOY to fly! The VC is stunning too, much better than I would've anticipated. Thanks for spotting this one!
