FSX Carenado C185 FDE Pack

Refine the Carenado Cessna 185 fleet with a pilot-informed flight dynamics overhaul that targets authentic performance and handling, including coordinated slips that demand real-world aileron and rudder technique. Built for FSX, the pack updates aircraft configuration and airfiles across all C185 variants for a more faithful bush-plane feel.

These Flight Dynamics Engines for all Carenado Cessna 185 versions have been made with the great support of four 185 pilots, so they are pretty close to 185s concerning performance and handling. E.G. To achieve a slip you have to use the same amount of aileron and rudder as in the real 185. By Bernt Stolle.

Installation:

  1. Back up the original aircraft.cfg file.
  2. Replace each aircraft.cfg file in the relevant Carenado C185 airplanes folder.
  3. Copy each 185_xxxx.air file into the relevant Carendo C185 airplanes folder. e.g. the 185_tundra.air into the Carenado C185F Tundra folder.
  4. If you have additional repaints you need there cfg section to point to the new 185_xxxx.air file!
  5. Suggest to rename the original Carenado_C185.air file. (If you don't and you add repaints you might end up using the original airfile.)

Above all, have fun.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! All this time I had no idea there was good FDE mods for my favorite Cessna's to fly. The C185F bush plane is especially my favorite :)
