I am curious about y'all that already own Carenado aircraft. Are there any that you would NOT purchase? I am considering the 182 RG for FSX, but I'd rather have the 182Q. I prefer the lighter colored panel, as it's easier to see with my eyes. But the -Q only has the darker panel. Is it possible to swap panels around?

The 172. Is it worth it over the default FSX 172? More accurate flight characteristics?

I'm also looking at some of the Pipers. Anyone own the Cherokee 180?

Any FSX airplanes that would be recommended higher and above all others, unanimously, unambiguously, far better than any?

Today I got the C182RG.

Thanks for moving this thread. I hate to say it, but I've never scrolled down far enough to see this "payware" section....


I'm looking at the 182's real hard, but I want a quality low-wing piper also. i'll probably have to get two, or maybe three different aircraft. I took some time flying my 172 yesterday, and it's very good. I wonder how much better it can get with payware.

Yesterday I was tickled to death with my Carenado download - today, not so much.

I just bought it. That and the Archer II. That 182Q is brilliant for the money!

FWIW, I had to click "allow" and 'okay" about nine times for both airplanes upon running them. Each individual gauge had to be approved as a trusted thing, or whatever.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I'm shocked and amazed at how much better the handling is! That aspect alone is worth the money. The different use of the 2D panel is really handy too. The only thing I'm disappointed in is the weird autopilot, but I suppose that's how that system works. But maybe I just haven't figured it out yet.

My opening gambit into the world of payware has been a good one.

Each gauge had to be approved as a trusted thing, or whatever.

Finally figured that out - If All Else Fails, Read The Instructions
