  3. Verify in FSX

    Launch FSX, go to Free Flight → Select Aircraft and find your new aircraft under its manufacturer.

    All the aircraft files indicate that the Mooney Bravo performance characteristics were copied for this aircraft, and in flight this 182 actually feels better than the Mooney Bravo. I've been tinkering with the files to no avail so far.

    If you take a look, you will notice that this model is listed as having a 280 hp turbo engine with a 4-blade propeller. Furthermore, the aerodynamics and drag coefficients are the same as the Mooney Bravo. Real shame.

    Hello,

    I have no colors on the plane in the external view. The plane is all white. What am I doing wrong?

    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.
