The '''Cessna 182S Skylane''' is an American four-seat, single-engine, light [[Aircraft|airplane]], built by [[Cessna]] since 1996. | The '''Cessna 182S Skylane''' is an American four-seat, single-engine, light [[Aircraft|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. | |||
[[File:c182-panel-detail.jpg|center|800px]] | |||
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. | |||
