+=== Updated aircraft ===
+* The [[Cessna 182S]] (git version) got some enhancements:
+** The Airspeed Indicator was reworked based on photos of a C182T and now corresponds to the real model.
+** The Alternate static air system was modeled, and now the outer static ports can ice, causing the static port to be blocked. If this occurs, one can pull the red static air knob in the cockpit to switch the static system to a port inside the cabin. The Venturi effect will introduce some errors/misreadings, because cabin pressure is lower than the outside atmosphere based on speed. This was the last Cockpit item missing, so the Cockpit can be considered complete!
+** Flap operation does consume electrical power now, which can be used in the preflight check to test the electrical system.
+** Currently we have multiplayer enhancements in the works, involving a canvas redo for the registration number; and the damage system is nearly finished.
