The NAV mode on autopilot zigzags because of ovrrcorrection. That’s my only gripe.
Yeap they are not good anymore my friend bought the 182t the check list looks like is done by a 10yrs old kid very incomplete and no performance charts
PDFs have VERY complete OP procedures and performance charts.
i just bought this plane today and love it
where is the pdf from carenado ?
It’s in the installation directory. Under where the package is installed. There is a folder called Documentation.

fs2020 has a in sim tab bar with chklist option why not make complete chklist in there why a pdf
Because Carenado is lazy. The PDF already existed for their XP11 and P3D version. So they just keep them instead of working on new in-game checklists.

It works fine now because it was one of the bug fixes in the 182 patch.
I purchased the 182T about a week ago and have yet to be able to install it. I keep getting a “Package Failed” message about 1/3 of the way through the download. I have tried the suggested fixes but no luck.
I have ~300 hours in a 2006 C182T that was pre-waas and pre-synthetic vision G1000 equipped. It was a great airplane. Synthetic vision is nice as a sim in a sim, but its not a replacement for regular IFR flight, in the real world its a situational awareness supplement.
She’s still flying!
I got burned on a poorly functioning Carenado plane years ago (P3D) and it’ll take a heck of a plane to win me back.
That’s great… 300 hours in a single bird… nice! I learned on steam gauges and a King avionics stack equipped with dual VORs and an ADF… fancy! lol!
You could triangulate your position pretty closely though, juggling a paper sectional on a kneeboard, a flight computer, and a Heuer Rallye stopwatch. Synthetic Vision back then was a pair of Ambermatic RayBan Aviators… still have 'em! 
Carenados in X-plane feel much better than in FSX-P3D because they are a conversion of the FSX models with a flight dynamic made by THRANDA design (unfortunately they have split).

Looks great, flying it is OK. Elevator trim and rudder trim very sensitive. Engine sound is horrible in the cockpit. Mine sounds like a bent solid lifer or rod knock (very loud) until you get cut back to cruise. No sound level adjustment to be found so far, no engine repair either. It doesn’t go away at cruise, just gets bearable. The G1000 is even less than what is in the default MSFS2020 aircraft. Call me spoiled, but I’ll wait for an A2A bird that works correctly. And finally, no paint kit. For all of the above, I gave them 2 stars. They need to improve their product.

I believe that, and it was probably in the engine shop when they recorded the interior sounds too. Mine has a very bad and very loud engine knock (rod or lifter…maybe a stuck valve) creating a horrible knocking at maximum take off power. Even at cruise, the knock is still there. Realism is one thing, releasing an aircraft in need of an engine rebuild is another.

A little Marvel Mystery Oil usually quiets things down… 
Wow, sorry you guys paid for it - but glad someone bit the bullet for the rest of us. Poor engine sounds are unacceptable in my book because they’d know at the time of recording that it was going to be of inferior quality than what is expected from a paid product.
I love it, so… it’s a good purchase to me.
As a matter of fact, both aircraft they have released are better than most default/premium ones.
I fly a TR182 (turbo 182RG) a lot in real-world (with a 530W and autopilot… great traveling airplane) and I have been really itching to get the 182 on MSFS but have been hesitant… I know how Carenado is.
