I have the Chicago upgraded scenery…Add that to the Meigs field add on and it’s fabulous! I grew up in the NW suburbs, and I often fly up the CNW (now UP) tracks to my old stomping ground…Niles/ Park Ridge area…Makes this old bold pilot feel young! Thanks MSFS! It’s hard to believe that was almost 70 years ago!
I have really enjoyed this thread on the forum!
IM going to try and log a couple of hours on my other expensive toy tomorrow morning. As long as I can keep passing my FAA Medical Exams, IM going to keep flying both my 182 and MSFS. When the doc says…no…Thank goodness I still have MSFS!
I Just shot the instrument approach IM going to fly in the morning on MSFS…It’s so cool to do it on the sim, and then do it in the aircraft. I just got the NXI upgrade on my last annual and IM still learning how to use it…Yes MSFS helps. but the sim just touches on what it is capable of. I had a separate KAP140 Autopilot (Exactly like Carnado’s MSFS 182 does), but the NXI upgrade has it built in to the G1000 now.
Here’s a picture of the 2 most expensive things in my life: Wife and my 2007 182T
OH…Aircraft are REAL good investments. Unlike autos depreciating…they appreciate!
A new one (same features C182T) costs $675,000 Plus . I paid $405,000 in 2007 (C182T G1000) brand new Fully Loaded. It is worth 95K more now than when I purchased it. Add the NXI upgrade and it’s worth 125K more…But the NXI upgrade cost me 28K.
