Editorial
For some time now, I’ve had the pleasure of trying out this retake on the popular Cessna 182. Updated by Mark Rooks of RSDG, I was excited to see what had been changed and improved to bring it up to standard. Given this was built on the FS2004 original, I’ll have to be honest and admit that expectations weren’t exactly high. However, I’d like to offer my apologies to Mark – he and the RSDG team have done a fine job!
This is a great take on a model that was way outdated and needed a lot of work to get it in line with what we all expect. While the models are built upon and not made from scratch, they’ve done a great job of capturing what makes the 182 Skylane such a wonderful aircraft to fly. So, what makes this such a good job?
Ease of Use
For one, I found it very easy to fly. That’s not to say that it feels unrealistically simple, though. it flies very well, and given that I have a fair amount of Cessna experience, I felt at home very quickly in the cockpit. However, the team who developed this have made sure it carries the hallmarks of the real thing. All it takes was a brief look around and I could instantly recognize all of the most important features.
From the way it manages in the sky to the kind of speeds it can hit, even right down to minor cockpit features, this does everything exactly right. Even the fact that it’s so simple to install made me like it even more. All in all, this is one of the easiest mods I’ve had the pleasure of using in some time.
Very easy to install, simple to get to grips with, and in line with the real thing – spot on!
Quality of Detail
Of course, one of the main changes this implements is a major improvement in the graphical side of things. This looks to improve textures and configurations, but it’s the graphical details that make the biggest impact.
I was very pleasantly surprised at the depth and detail that was captured by the development team. Mark has done a job of placing textures correctly, using the right kind of detail to create a look that’s certainly easy to get behind.
Overall? I’d have to heartily recommend trying this. If you used the old default FS2004 model and want to see how it’s improved with age, then come try this out!

Hi I think we can fly around the world in this game and we can fly any where without ATC :)))
I am also looking too low in the virtual cockpit. Can someone please educate me on how to adjust this as well?
After landing, every time I pull the mixture to turn off, and then key off, it takes off real fast and crashes?
Alan, what is this update you speak of, and where do I find it?
Daniel, thank you for that information. I have experienced this "low seat height" with other models but never knew where to adjust it in the cfg files. Now I do. :)
Absolutely loved this plane! Way better than the stock 172 in the game. Only issue was the seat height was absurdly low. Thankfully there was a simple solution; I changed default view height by doing the following (step-by-step): in the Cessna 182 aircraft folder I went to the "aircraft.cfg" file with notepad, and then hit "Ctrl+F" and typed in "eye" to find "eyepoint" under views. I changed the third value (z coordinate, which represents height in feet above whatever the airplane's reference point is) from 1.4 to 2.2. This should make the view height pretty good, similar to the Cessna 172. Make sure when it's saved it is saved as a cfg file and not a txt file and you're good. Other than that everything about the plane is perfect!
Interesting model with nice quality and feel but you left out the manifold pressure gauge.
This download will get the default cessna 182 into fsx-se. If you then add the update you will have a model that is a great rendition of the real thing. I flew the real thing and this combination is very good. Thank you for you work.
