As part of the latest release from Carenado, this remake of the brilliant Cessna CT182 Skylane G1000 is well worth flying in - it looks great, it accurately describes how flying an aircraft like this can be, and it gives you a true and total appreciation of how flying around in a high-definition aircraft that is true to its real-life counterpart can be in comparison to flying around in poor comparisons and cheap remakes.
This Carenado release captures, in true detail, the beauty of flying around in an aircraft that was built for having fun with, always keeping you on track.

It has 3 totally different wind option displays, making it ten times easier for yourself to start developing and designing properly. The whole idea of using something like this is purely so you can feel as if you have total control over the flights overall progress.
-
An audio panel has been included that will make sure you have total control over the sound of the aircraft, minimizing the damage that can be done when you are flying around the place and thus helping you capture the look and feel of your flight, whenever you are ready.

Key Features

The HD quality textures included run at a brilliant 4096 x 4096 design, really capturing every last detail of the aircraft and ensuring that the textures are about as deep as you are going to find within the world of flight simulation, capturing every minor feature.
-
Not sure if this is enough for you? Then the 3D gauges are equally as detailed and impressive. They will keep you moving forward in the right way whilst greatly reducing the time that you spend messing around with the cockpit to try and get the right configuration in place.
-
Extra detail included on each gauge to add in features like window transparency control, instrument reflections, static elements and various other minor features to keep your flight simulation ticking by.
-
Struggling to see at night? Then the creation of the night lights that will be used will really help you stay on track as you fly, ensuring that you greatly limit the level of time you spend in the air trying to see - take back control of your aircraft with night lights giving you much improved visibility compared to the aircraft that are included within the vanilla flight simulators themselves.
-
Flight dynamics are closely made to follow all of the information and practical detail about these aviation machines, giving you total control over the way that they fly and the way that they tend to operate. By doing this, you stay on track at all times whilst ensuring that your aircraft is going to be easy to use when you are out and about, with the attributes of its real-life counterpart being caught here in the most perfect manner possible.
-
Tested by real pilots time and time again to make sure it flies in the way that it was supposed to from the start, giving you total confidence that the way this performs is in line with its authentic style.

Carenado have done it again with their most recent addition to their beautiful HD Series, this time introducing the remastered Cessna T182T Skylane. This fully supercharged and fuel injected light utility aircraft has received Carenado's HD treatment along with a well deserved upgrade to a G1000 glass cockpit; this is certainly one that should not be overlooked, and it's available now as an immediate download for Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Lockheed Martin Prepar3D.
Certainly, part of the strength of this package is in the visuals. Carenado are able to squeeze in an enormous amount of detail into the super high resolution textures (4096 x 4096), so much so that the quality holds up very well when you zoom in. Each of the five liveries work wonderfully with the delicately sculpted model, and offer some variety to pilots of varying tastes, while not detracting from the finer details of the model itself. Even the blank texture that is included is at the same super high resolution, so you can achieve the same level of detail with your personal designs.
One key feature in this download package, is the included previously mentioned G1000 glass cockpit. With this in place, the cockpit becomes an incredibly atmospheric place that you can't wait to get back into. The perfect blend of form and functionality; the G1000 has a host of features that will make your flights both more realistic and less stressful. Knobs and switches all have small sounds that keep you under the spell of realism while a few customizable panel lets you control window transparency, instrument reflections and static elements until you find the balance that you feel is the most realistic.
The flight dynamics have been tested by real pilots to ensure their accuracy; as far the weight, balance, performance and behavior of this T182T representation goes, Carenado are right on the money. This aircraft has a very strong visual foundation, and true-to-life flight dynamics, but Carenado don't stop there. A high quality digital stereo sound set that has been recorded directly from the real aircraft makes everything else come to life; this brilliant sound set is so authentic, that it pulls together all of the other elements that make up the aircraft, resulting in an incredibly compelling and tangible model.
