Our C182 model can just be as good as we get documentation and footage.
While for many things, sources like the POH, manufacturer manuals, descriptions, images and videos are sufficient to make a „good enough“ simulation, one factor can not be underestimated: real pilot experience.
As we, the models developers, are currently no real c182 pilots, we are always in search for real experience.
If you are a real pilot, and/or have access to a real c182s or 182t, we would be most thankful for your knowledge.
Please feel free to get in touch, and tell us where the simulation is good already, but also places where there is a delta.
Together we can make this project even more realistic!
We maintain a list here on topics we are most interested in, but also always feel free to tell us about other things too!
How we handle this issue ticket
This issue ticket here should be a common place to gather ideas on what to check, so real pilots can better pay attention on topics we need real world experience on.
It is living organically. As soon as something comed up while development, it can be added to this list. Communication can evolve naturally.
If you want to suggest an item, but don’t have write acces, feel free to get in contact with us, so we can add it for you.
The current list of whish items
[ ] Sensitivity and effect of rudder at taxi, takeoff, climb and cruise; video of the pedals work in those phases
[ ] Video footage of the gauges and instruments at a cold start
[ ] Video of instruments/gauges when performing an engine runup
[ ] If the fuel level gauge/sensors is affected by bank, and if so, how levels and banks interplay
[ ] Starter duty cycle: how long can you crank before the starter is
inoperable temporarily, and if this exists, how long does it take to be able to use it again
inoperable permsnently and needs replacement from the workshop
