Carenado Cessna 182 Q

In 2024 yes it does. Where did you buy your 182Q?

Marketplace in 2020. I hope mine will get an update in the future.

I still use 2020 a lot and tend to buy on the marketplace in 2020. Would be bad if Carenado will never upgrade and I had to buy twice.

Same here, however, I’ve noticed what may be a new trend. If a new for 2024 product appears in the 2024 MP, and I buy it there, it sometimes appears in the 2020 MP later on as a new purchase. What I am getting is that if I buy a 2020 model in the 2020 MP, and it is later upgraded to 2024 COMPATIBLE, then I can enable that in My Library for free. If a new for 2024 version later appears, that I will have to buy/pay for to own the 2024 upgrade.

Therefore, I am now very picky about what I am buying new for 2024, as I do not wish to buy the same add-on twice. I added the 182Q to 2024 because I am doing more GA flying in 24 nowadays so it makes sense to buy new GA for 24, and not 2020 where I maintain my old airline collection.

Right. (10 chars)

So here we go:

I bought the 182Q in 2020 and it flies ok in 2024:

Today I found that there is an upgrade to the 2024 version of the 182Q. I would have to pay € 22,19 for it. This is ridiculous.

I bought it on release for 2024. I hope I don’t have to pay a “downgrade” price for the 2020 version. <tongue lodged firmly in cheek>

It does seem like something has gone wrong here. I don’t have 2020 installed any more, but I assume buying the 2024 version automatically gives access to the 2020 version? If the price is the same, the reciprocal arrangement would be fair.

Just take a look in 2020. I bet you would have to buy it there again.

I’m afraid I will have to buy all my Carenado aircraft again in 2024 as soon as they are upgraded. But honestly, I probably I will refuse.

I bought 2024 version and in 2020 it was already in my library for download.

Ok, that’s good. So I should’ve bought it in 2024.

In the 2024 marketplace, it says in plain text, if you will get the corresponding product in 2020. For those products, yes it certainly is better to buy in 2024.

Could you please point me to an aircraft so I can see this?

It says right under the buy button.

Thank you.

Does it also say this for the Carenado 182Q? For some reason I didn’t see this.

loving the 182

No, it doesn’t actually say that for the C182Q. Did you say you got it in 2020 as well? The lack of this description implies that the 2020 version wouldn’t be included in the purchase.

I got it in 2020 only. After that the 182Q showed as “Upgraded” in 2024. But this upgrade isn’t free and I would have to purchase it again.
