July 1, 20178 yr Dear Forum Could anyone please recommend a really good IFR equipped Cessna 182 (or similar) for instrument training practice. A2A do a superb C182 for FSX but they don't have an X-Plane version. It must have:- HSI DME ADF Old fashioned round dials This is in order to practice NDB holds, ILS and localiser/DME approaches and to be as similar to my real world plane (Robin President DR500) as possible. Unfortunately, the 'out of the box' C172 doesn't have a DME or an HSI and is a bit slow. Many thanks for your kind advice. Regards, David

Dear JYW Thanks, Absolutely agree - it's superb - I've been using it on FSX but I've changed to X-Plane recently. Sadly, they don't do it for X-Plane. Does anyone know of something similar for X-Plane please?
July 2, 20178 yr Hi, The Airfoillabs 172 has almost all of it, but no HSI unfortunately. But it has a lot of other nice goodies for training (take a look at the video above). Cruise speed is around 110kias which matches our flying clubs DR400 pretty good. I don't know how fast the DR500 is in cruise though :-) Kind regards Martin
July 2, 20178 yr And if you want something faster with an HSI included try the Cessna 210 from Carenado with the Simcoders Reality Expansion pack. https://www.simcoders.com/reality-expansion-pack/overview Both the expansion pack by Simcoders, was well as the Airfoillabs C172 are currently on sale at the Xplane.org store :-)

July 2, 20178 yr I bought it some time ago and still love it :-) Don't forget, you have to buy the Carenado 210 PLUS the Simcoders expansion pack.
July 5, 20178 yr Airfoillabs 172 would be the closest you can get to real 182 flight sim addict, airplane owner, CFI
July 6, 20178 yr The Carenado C182 with the G10000 is pretty good too Martin X-Flightserver.net: Rat-7
