Ooooh, I love the sounds of that

What a nice surprise the 182 is,am counting the days. there is something just awesome about Flight 1 products 

Cessna 182 with G1000 glass cockpit??? Serious? Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T H A N K   U   F L I G H T  1

Hi guys,

Any chance for more preview pictures on the 182T? By the way, is it a turbo or a normally aspirated version?

Best regards,

Jim  I hate to say this , but I have to have this add-on.  It looks to be the same quality as your wonderful mustang.

Nice panel work.

Is the G1000 essentially the same one used in the Mustang? (As far as features go)

JIM ACTUALLY PREVIEWED THE VC AFTER I ASKED HIM!!!! Right on, that thing looks awesome, cannot wait to get into her.

Good luck with the rest of the development....and yes I will keep my mouth shut.

I hope it features an updatable database from Navigraph. Some might say it is useless with this size of aircraft but in Europe if you want to fly real airways and flight levels you just need to have up to date navdata and RNAV. It requires imagination to have a VOR to VOR or direct FPL accepted through Eurocontrol. Don't even mention flights that cross the country borders. IFR flying is made far easier in the US. Europe doesn't have LPV approaches, yet. The Navigraph data may not have approaches for the smaller airports but so what. The waypoint information is still the same. I think we've seen enough of those GPS versions that utilize the default FS navdata from 2005.

Thank you and apologies. Now, if I just get my coat...

Seriously, that looks sweet. Last April, after flying a couple of hundred hours in 30 year old Cessnas and Pipers, I got to fly IFR as pilot flying ICT-MKC in a 2008 Turbo 182T and it was so much fun. Looking forward to have similar feelings, flying in my own neighbourhoods, with the Flight1 182T.

Thanks Jim, great to hear that.

Beautiful work inside and out! Thanks very much for the update,This aircraft wasn't on my radar but now has gone to  "Quality Purchase" Status

I am pretty sure it should be better. But again, many variables apply. We have no idea how a persons computer and settings are configured as well as the many other different modules, products, conflicts and possibilities are. That is why one guy can have a mediocre computer and claim good performance and another have an I7 and complain about performance.  

Jim are you developing the turbo version..... sorry if already answered in the forum.  I guess that would be the T182T?

They haven't made the RG version of any model since restarting the single piston production in 1996 or so. That of course means, as you know Retractable Gear. 

Let me look into the possibility of supporting both turbo and non-turbo versions.

Here are links to both POH's:

Yes but lets keep it in perspective. Its a Nav III, but it is not a real Nav III or a 1:1 simulation of a Nav III.

Ron,

See the variant listing here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_182

The 182T is the latest normally aspirated variant and when you add a T to make it T182T, that variant is a Turbo 182T. Confusing? Perhaps

Guys, I cannot answer every minute bit of information with regards to the G1000. You have to keep in mind this is a Cessna 182 simulation first and foremost which just happens to have a G1000 in it that is probably more advanced than anything else on the market for entertainment, except the Mustang. If you are happy with the Mustangs G1000, you most likely will be happy with the one in the 182 simulation.  However, it does have an ADF.

So Im guessing this G1000 in the 182 will be more like the IRIS Da-20 or maybe the Eaglesoft DA-40 G1000.
