Carenado Cessna 182RG - First Look Review! - MSFS 

I usually wait for your reviews before purchasing, but I jumped on this when I saw it was available. The terms "Cessna" and "Steam Gauge" are a big factor in my purchase decisions. You phrased it so correctly - This aircraft scratches the itch of analog Cessna, power, and simplicity - it's the sportier version of comfy slippers. The next Carenado that I'm hoping beyond hope for is the 210 Turbo Centurion which i think would round out my carenado fleet quite nicely. As always thank you for your reviews, they are a great help - even after purchase!

Looks like a great addon! It is weird thst some Carenado planes don't allow open windows during flight. Their Beechcraft V35's storm window does the same thing.

This is tempting. Thanks for the review!!

I loved the 182RG in FSX and I'm glad it's back in MSFS! I really hope they will also release their C185F Skywagon for MSFS. I would buy that in a heartbeat. The more old school steam gauge aircraft fit for bush flying, the better.

I just discovered you channel and you are such a joy to watch!

I might actually get this one (on sale) just because stupid Asobo only gave us a glass-cockpit C172 and no-one has made an analogue C172 yet. I use MSFS 2020 on monthly Gamepass for PC subscription, refuse to pay those high prices for Deluxe version, especially with MSFS 2024 now announced.

thanks for the vid - I love your channel

carenado always eels to make cheap planes but charge like it’s nice

Have you re-analyzed the Maule since it was updated? I was very much looking forward to it but decided to delay buying after seeing the issues it had on your review.

Hey, does anyone here know if there is a cessna 210 coming for the sim?

About setting propeller, M.A.P. and Rpm ? 😊😊😊

A couple of issues i noticed with it, hardly any rudder movement visible when looking at the back of the aircraft, surely it moves more than that in real life? Also the autopilot unit is powered on even though everything is turned off at the start. Bit odd. Hope they fix that

In modeling and textures they are unattainable!!!

is it worth it?

I own every Carenado plane made, and I always will. My favorite company. Fantastic plane! Love the analog gages and retractable landing gear!

Thanks for the look. I did pop for this a/c and it's great, except, as I suspected, a turbo is sorely missed for high mountain operations. One of my favorite circuits is KASE-0CO2-KTEX and that really pushes the limit with this engine (and most aspros, with a number of "14-ers" and high ridgelines in the area). The V35B has a definite edge in ROC, so I guess the question is if the CT182T is worth it as well, as there are so many choices and my hangar's probably "too full" already!

Thank you for another informative presentation....I purchased this Cessna today on your recommendation.... It is really good and very enjoyable to fly...I appreciate the effort you put into your humorous honest appraisals ....Roger..Pembrokeshire

It’s in my hanger and I ❤ it 👍🙏🏻👨‍✈️✈️

Very professional but relaxed style of presentation, love it. Thank you from New Zealand

😪I know Bella Coola is closer to your "Angel's Roost/Perch" airport but us guys on the ground crew here at Orcas really miss you and all your short hops around the patch.😥 If you're ever in the neighborhood and have the time, a "touch and go" and a wave would make the boys and my day! 👍🏽

Great review yet again. I want it. Love Steam Gauges. As Robert De Niro Once said, "You're GOOD!!" Barty

You sold me!!!! I want to start saying I am not a Carenado fan as a rule. I am a 182 fan and the RG brings back fond memories of the old days of FS98. Thanks for sharing.

"Come on Carenado, you can even open the doors in flight" (proceeds to open door). 🤣

You are so good at landing my Dear. I like the look of this Cessna . The older Planes have the character. Good flying and review young Lady.

Was lucky enough to fly the real fg gear 182 for two years all over SoCal......never had a problem at any airport great machine..........

My avionics are completely dark after turning them on. Thoughts ?

I've been patiently waiting for this plane 🎉😊

Nice video. Will probably get the 182rg just for the heck of it. Nice having a plane one can just get in and go.

I'm hooked to this one! I'm normally skeptical when buying carenado.

This will be my first MSFS Carenado produkt. I really like the plane

Hurray! My little retractable chum is back! Now if we could just have that C207 back I might get perhaps just a little bit over excited..

Again this one is a good addon , really nice . Thanks for the great review as always .

Picked this up yesterday. An absolute blast.

I was wondering if you ever got the Boris sound pack for this? It makes a huge difference.

Always a pleasure to listen to and watch your reviews AvAngel !

Really enjoy your channel. You're always interesting and entertaining and your experience is appreciated. And perhaps the main thing is that you come up with interesting pieces of information through your experience. Look forward to the next one. PS I've probably spent 80% of my time on MSFS in the Cessna 152 and the analog instruments is what I enjoy most. As with watches I guess. Thank you

Thanks for Making (all) your Flying tests!

Was the "500" comment coming from the C182 or from some add-on that you had installed (& if an add-on, which one?)

Another stable easy pizzy review from our favourite pilot. Thanks for sharing Rach, cheers!

I love the retro aircraft! I flew in one with almost the exact same cockpit color and layout (except the owner/pilot had an ipad hooked up instead of the garmin). I love that they modeled the air vent, that is like the first thing i mess with when flying in one for real. LOL!! Thanks for the look AvAngel. I will be picking this one up to add to the hangar!

Has anyone flying this noticed that sometimes after everything is shut down, the prop keeps turning?

my avionics, and autopilot dont turn on

Bought it. Had only one flight so far in her. My opinion? Rather just there. Nothing spectacular, nothing outside the usual fare from the Devs. That's all.

great review again AV thanks

Nice plane, nice review👍🏻

I went back and looked at my M20 Ovation and saw that the MSFS pilots are displayed in that one, too! So glad they changed it I might fly it again. What I do wish is that Asobo (or a third party developer) would create an app that would allow us to create and customize our own pilots. Something like the character creation tools found in other games. Though for the 182RG, I wouldn't complain if they had both a steam gauge and G1000 version available like the default 172.

I'm glad you and ITB reviewed this one so quick, I almost impulse bought it. Can you F10 a new seat position, or does it crash like the 337?

🏆😃Thank you for that beautiful presentation! Please let me know the route you took, from where to where 🙏

Thanks for another great review! I wonder if Carenado will update and bring their C210 over to 2020, or 2024?

Av angel I bet you didn't know this but the phone and mic jack the mic jack is spelled wrong

hi whats that ipad thing you got

It’s a bit boring. Also carenado don’t state save your avionics choices

It is a shame this is not a normal Cessna 182 steam gauge we could take in to the back country.

Didn't you get it? Doors are speedbrakes!

You're not the only YTer to say this, but this isn't the first non C172 with steam gages in the sim... remember the C337, which I believe you made a video on previously.

No Garmin G1000 for $20? Diamond DA62 is way better.
