I'm new to flying a 182. I fly an older 182M. I used this sim over the last week to practice managing mix/prop/throttle settings for climb out, descent, pattern work. It matches up extremely well to actual flight, and has done exactly what I needed to make for a perfect practice session just yesterday in my plane. Well done!
I've got to say A2A, the respect you give these vehicles is truly impressive. It's not obsession, it's just supreme accuracy and understanding. Well done team!
I bought my A2A C182T Skylane Almost a year ago. I have a bunch of the best aircraft from Milviz, PMDG, A2A, Majestic, and others. The C182T is my favorite. A few months back I flew this baby from Venezuela to Homer Alaska. I swear it felt like I really made the trip. I was able to trim this baby out at 13,000ft and sip fuel for up to 1050nm on some flights with some fuel to spare. My scariest flight was from Ft. Lauderdale across the Gulf of Mexico to Austin, TX. I ran into thunderstorms over the middle of the Gulf using real time Active Sky weather and clouds. Those thunderheads rose far above 13,000 feet and if I got near one it would toss me around like a rag doll and a couple times flipped me over. I had to regain altitude and zigzag carefully between the worst of the storm clouds being careful not to run out of fuel doing so. I finally cleared the storm just before seeing the coast of Louisiana. I had sweaty palms at this point. All that dodging of storms forced me to land in Houston to refuel. The entire flight was spectacular. It would have been a much easier flight in almost any other aircraft, but the realism and challenge of this plane was just so much fun. The only issue I have with their sadly very rude and cocky support people on their forums. Not with me, but I've seen them treat other customers extremely poorly, and when it turned out the customer had been right the entire time forcing A2A to create a fix for the issue they were not man enough to apologize and instead continued to try and find ways of blaming the customer. It is for this reason I have not purchased another A2A aircraft to this day. I will keep checking back to see if they ever apologize to this man and until they do I will not spend another cent on an A2A product. I don't even know the guy they treated so poorly, but I was absolutely amazed that anyone would treat anyone so badly, especially a paying customer that turned out being right after taking a beating by these "experts". BTW, A2A. This was a long thread over the P51 Mustang installation program errors. That's the next plane I will buy from you when you publicly apologize to this man. There are four other A2A aircraft I want as well. You guys need to swallow your pride and man up.
I'll take steam gauges over the glass cockpit any day. The 172 I learned to fly in, was steam gauges, and I guess I'm just too old fashioned. Now I just wish I could transfer the paint job of N1826G, over to the 172. I like green planes.
I've buyed this plane last week. I'm impressed. To all the guys from A2A, you deserve big respect. Amazing Product. I also fly Cessna Skyhawk in real life.
Hi Scott. Is there anybody out there in the Sim world still having a shadow of a doubt that A2A sim makes the best outstanding Fs add-ons in the world. Well yeah, probably the simmers that have never tried one. You guys really rock the sim world. Keep it going. * From a thankful simmer.
I'm sold. Outstanding video. I have the 172 and the Cherokee to hold me until this Skylane is finished, but just looking at what you have in the video, it appears that this just may be a pre-Christmas release. Which would be nice.
Excellent video of the constructor of the site a2asimulations and of his whole team; Thank you for all this detailed information on the models of cessna.
My, oh my... absolutely amazing. I just picked up my HP endorsement and this will be the perfect airplane to put that knowledge to use in the sim. Can't wait!
I am beside myself with excitement! This is THE plane I've been waiting for! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! BTW, you hit the nail on the head with the tow bar. Excellent!
Thank you so much guys for developing this aircraft! I like your view on the kind of developments. Step by step upgrading your aircraft to a higher level of pilots knowledge. Staying with the basics of flying, but still producing modern aircraft. I look forward to fly it guys.
I'm really looking forward to this aircraft. Although I may not receive a pilots license in real life, your aircraft definitely make me feel as if I did, in addition to the amazing physics on your aircraft, you guy really do put quite the effort into creating something that looks just as nice as it flies. Plus, with that wonderful voice from Scott, it just makes the product that much better. :)
Wow. I do not mind saying it, but you guys' stuff blows the pants off of Carenado! I am usually one to mod my aircraft to get them just the way I want it, but it is looking more and more like no mods will be necessary to this sucker. Well, truth be told I will likely mod the pilot texture. I generally like my pilot to look like ME, and let's face it... no one makes aircraft with black pilots. Hee hee. I am planning on buying this aircraft within the next couple of weeks! I think you have sold me here.
It's great that you guys are focussing so much on light GA. I love my Carenado planes but if you ever did a C185 "bush" variant...I'll start throwing my money at you now. I have the cub, stratocruiser and the 172 and they're all great I just hope you guys dig a little deeper into the rough and rugged... Oh what I'd give for an accusim DHC-2
I went a bit backwards. I bought this plane first, (in fact it was my first ever payware plane,) and got used to it, and then later I bought the 172, (cause it can get in and out of places the 182 probably shouldn't,) and I have to admit, the 182 sort of spoiled me. I miss the tow feature when I fly the 172, and I had gotten used to the variable pitch prop. Still, it's fun to mix it up now and again. Some days I'll spend an hour or two with the 182, and then spend another hour with the 172. Of course, once in a while I have to spend some time with my Milviz Bell 407 just to remind myself I can still fly helicopter's too.
This man loves planes. I love it when he does his "This is not just any engine cowling... this is Marks and Spencers engine cowling" voice: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EHFKE6PD_6U.html
LOL Scott, the only person who does a better job that you at selling your products is Chris Roberts from Star Citizen; but wow it's close. Love the new plane. A little disappointed it wasn't something a little more meatier, however this will fit nicely in my hangar. Can't wait for the release. :)
So with the skylane will you guys being doing something similiar to the P51? Like a steam gauges skylane then a g1000 skylane? Love it can't wait to increase my fleet!
Would you consider adding the towing feature to the 172 Trainer in a new patch? A bit annoying to use the default pushback feature in FSX, it makes the plane tip backwards. :)
Maybe if you added G1000s to the 172R and 182T, I'm currently training in the 172R and it has the G1000 so it would really help if you or someone else made it happen. :)
I see you are flying the G1000 version on your video but the FSX add-on is an old steam gauges version. Any plans for an A2A G1000 version for the 172 and 182?
Wow, you guys are really working me over on your sales pitch! You’re making it hard to even consider any other developers offers!👍👌🤣 This is trueaircradt simulation...details that an arcade pilot would not consider!👌🤓 Can you put floats on this Skylane?
these guys are the pmdg or majestic of the gen-av world. i don't think i've ever flown fsx gen-av done as well as the planes these guys make. if you're a student pilot you need to buy their planes. you will be a better pilot for it.
no, they are better, they have real physics, everything is simulated, airflow, and all parts of the engine... i can't begin to explain how amazing A2A's aircrafts are modelled
@ 12:32 it appears he is using an electric trim switch, but the actual product has a manual trim wheel down by the cowl flaps. Which one is correct? Or are both systems on the actual aircraft and the sim? I honestly never have the yoke on lol.
***** Thanks! One more Q if you don't mind. I plan to buy a real POH/AIM...what year is this Cessna modelled after and is it a NAVIII version...there many version/years of the plane and I'm not sure what POH to buy. Cheers!
I'm glad to uload your ad on the Cessna 182 gift skylane recently unfortunately it work very well and I had to reinstall my whole syste and there I found that problems in flight simulator because Microsoft or windows If you could ansver me through my e-mail that would be great tha,k you in advance
At 9.20 you point to a gauge saying the engine maintains 2400 rpm, then the same gauge shows you lowering the propeller rpm to 2000. Does it show both engine and propeller rpm, or did you missay ? I understand how the blades work concerning pitch and moving air, but unless the engine and propeller is geared 1:1 I guess there has to be one gauge for engine rpm and one for propeller rpm? If it is 1:1 I´m with you, then adding power will only make the blade angle more course thus moving more air and adding speed when set at a certain rpm. That would of course be the case even if the engine-propeller is geared different than 1:1, but then a separate engine rpm guage would be needed I guess, or is engine rpm completely replaced by an indicator for manifold pressure?
kamrataktiv kamrataktiv its 1:1 if you want to think about it that way -_- the rpm is the revolutions per minute of either the crankshaft or the prop which are the only things "revolutioning" and if theyre going different speeds then u have a bigger problem o-o
I have some doubts it´s 1:1, but it may very well be so. Many planes have a gearbox to slow down the propeller speed since if it exceeds the speed of sound (or getting close) it loses efficiency etc. For example Rotax-engines have a max rpm around 5500, but the propeller is geared down to about half of that. In case of a constant speed propeller the rpm- gauge only shows the value for the propeller speed (Diamond DA20), but if it´s a fixed pitch propeller then the engines rpm is showned (Eurostar EV-97, Dynamic WT9). That´s just three exemples I´ve got confirmed.
Hello, I bought the A2A C172 C182 and and the Piper Cherokee 180 off of fspilotshop.com. When I click Shift+1-9, the pop up will open for just a second, then close and I can’t open it until I end the flight and spawn back in. Any suggestions?
