Cessna 182R Skylane RG

The Cessna R182 Skylane RG is a 4-seat piston-engined light aircraft that was featured in Microsoft Flight Simulator until Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002. It was basically a version of Cessna's 182S Skylane equipped with retractable landing gear, allowing better cruise performance. It is not known for certain why the R182 was not included in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, but it may be that 5 Cessna aircraft (Cessna 172S Skyhawk, Cessna 182S Skylane, Cessna Skylane 182R RG, Cessna 208A Caravan Amphibian, Cessna 208B Grand Caravan) was considered unnecessary.
