A New plane for Xmas

[C152]

Im trying to decide on which Carenado aircraft that I would like.

Heres what I have narrowed it down to

C182Q
C182RG
C210

Does anybody own the above aircraft, what do you think of the aircraft.

Max I can spend is $40.

The 210 is a bit old and I would leave that one out of the selection - personally I like 182Q the best (it is the newest out of that lot), but if you like watching fancy gear retraction sequences and want something a little faster then the 182RG is almost as good and worth serious consideration.

Also Carenados Xmas sale is now on and the current deal is that if you get the 182RG, you also get their Cherokee 180 for a small extra charge so that might swing it for you.

Other GA aircraft out there worth consideration:

Dreamfleet Piper Archer 111 & Dakota and the Beechcraft Baron and Bonanza or maybe Realairs SF-260 or Scout/Citabria/Decathlon package

[C152]

Do you own the C182Q/C182RG? Im not a fan of beech aircraft

[Naki]

Yes - have both.

[C152]

How do the aircraft perform on framerates?

[Naki]

They are fine on FPS - not much or very little impact over default - similar to the Carenado 152

I can second that, I have a pretty ordinary setup and notice no frame hits at all. A worthy addition to your fleet, should give you a happy xmas.

I think I might go for the C182RG. I recall seeing a NZ paint for this. Already got the Carenado C152, thats neat plane.

Good point yes one of our members (Florian) did a nice NZ scheme for the 182RG (its on Avsim) - the 182Q also has a NZ scheme that comes with it - the SAR model - ZK-SAR as operated by the Auckland Coastguard.
