Warm fully 3D ambience is experimented on the cockpit by the use of a right balance between shadows and lights, relaxing colors tone, precise and detailed model, and two different upholstery works. Propeller damage is simulated whenever it hits the ground.
The landing and taxi light includes a spotlight effect that is stronger in low visibility days or nights
Custom 3D lights in all positions for a better visual experience. Several cameras are included for external inspection or just for an alternative point of view for your enjoyment. Pilot arms are animated with the pilot´s yoke and all characters have natural animations on heads and eyelids. The cabin can be full of occupants, depending on the individual payload station weight setting. Any door, previously open, will close due to the force of prop wash or the free airstream from frontal wind even if the aircraft is stopped. Ambience reflections, bumps, damages, dirt and sun reflect effects are applied by everywhere. Texturing are applied depending on the relevance of the point of view, providing the user with a nice environment while keeps a friendly Frame Rate even in modest hardware. Engine vibration is simulated, as well as flexible items like antennas and static dischargers Almost every moving part or mechanism is animated. Elevator angle is affected by trimming setting due to prop wash or the free airstream the yoke feeds back due to this action as well. Highly accurate and optimized modeling for good performance every visible part on interior and exterior are modeled on detail. Also it includes some additional features for better experience, some of which comes from user preferences.
This C172N “Improved Edition” focuses on refining systems programming as well as modeling and performance details. This product was intended to perform, from an average simmer up to a real pilot, VFR/IFR practices on FSX or P3D worlds.
The base model was made as a virtual replica of a training aircraft from a flying school, and was tested by a certified Cessna 172 pilot.
These variants are not just aesthetic representations of the same aircraft, performances vary according to dozens of actual pilot’s opinion and explanations, and can be used with each of the eight available liveries (including a white one for repainters) giving 24 possible combinations. This add-on offers three variants: The stock one, with fairings on the wheels and on tundra tires. The N model, produced between 19, is a good example of this. Due to such a sturdy construction, reliability and nice handling, the Cessna 172 is one of the most used aircraft for training purposes around the world.
