The Cessna 182S Skylane is an American four-seat, single-engine, light airplane, built by Cessna since 1996.
Features
The new Cessna 182S has a very detailed 3D model and cockpit with highly detailed textured. Most of the switches in the cockpit are clickable. It has a very realistic FDM.
There are currently five liveries available: default Cessna livery, D-ELFP, HB-CZV, N182PJ and N321HW.
The aircraft has a simulation of the Bendix/King KAP140 Autopilot. The cockpit can be illuminated at night using two knobs. These knobs have two modes each, which can be used by clicking and dragging horizontally or vertically.
Also, if the user has enabled ALS (Atmospheric light scattering) in the Rendering Options, some effects activated such as cockpit shadows, visible landing lights from the cockpit, rain effect on the windshield.
The Cessna 182S comes have static objects which can be activated via the Ground Equipment dialog in the aircraft menu. These include a fuel tan trailer, ladders to access the fuel caps (and which the walker can climb!) and a ground power unit. The aircraft can also go through a pre-flight check: wheel chocks, tie-downs and the pitot tube cover can now be added or removed. Security cones are also available.
