Fly One of the Most Popular Aircraft of
all Time! |
The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is one of the most
popular general aviation aircraft ever created.
Tracing its roots back to the original
production lineage of the late 1950's, the 172
Skyhawk has undergone many changes.
When the Cessna single engine facility
re-emerged in July of 1996, the 172R Skyhawk was
reborn. New features included a fuel injected
Textron Lycoming IO-360-L2A engine with dual
engine driven vacuum pumps, epoxy corrosion
proofing, stainless steel control cables,
thicker windows and new acoustic soundproofing.
Cessna claims the 172R is significantly quieter
than the O-320 it replaced, and it can produce
its maximum power at just 2400rpm.
GMAX Aircraft Model - Designed in GMAX
with exceptional detail. All control surfaces
are fully animated, including the cabin door and
cargo compartments.
Beautiful 2D-Panel -The 2D-Panel uses
high definition technology for unmatched clarity
and detail. The unique main panel perspective
gives you the feeling of being in the real
cockpit. The panel and subpanels can easily be
accessed with the included "Panel Manager" which
allows you to move around the cockpit with just
a few mouse-clicks.
Clickable Virtual Cockpit - The virtual
cockpit of the 172R includes incredible detail
with full working gauges, switches, and moving
parts. This cockpit sets a new milestone in
terms of clarity for a virtual cockpit, allowing
you to get the full experience of what its like
to fly this beautiful aircraft.
Highly Accurate Flight Model - The flight
model has been carefully developed right from
actual performance tables.
Authentic Sounds by "MeatWater" - The
sound package is digitally recorded from an
actual Skyhawk 172R, by "MeatWater" Sounds.
Skyhawk 172R Tutorial Flight - The
tutorial flight will challenge your flying
skills and will require you to perform various
manuevers to a given set of tolerances.
Configuration Manager - Use to add/remove
passengers, add cargo to the baggage
compartment, and then see if you fall within the
specified weight limits to fly your aircraft.
The configuration manager also includes two
selectable flight dynamics models and a wheel
pants off/on model.
Text-o-Matic for Repaints - Flight One's
proprietary Text-o-Matic aircraft repainting
utility allows you to download additional user
created paint schemes and install them on your
system with just a couple mouse-clicks.
The Skyhawk 172R package also includes extensive
documentation, checklists, and specifications to
get you flying in no time.

Skyhawk 172R Manual (1.1MB)
Two versions are listed below, and they work
with the same key. So if you get the FS9
version, you can download the FSX version and
install it with the key you received when you
purchased the FSX version (use the 'Click Here
to Reinstall Button). The same also works in
reverse. If you get the FSX version first, you
can use that same key to download and install
the FS9 version. So it is safe to download
either because both work with the same key.

Do not forget the special tutorial
flight! |
iincluded a special tutorial flight with
recorded sounds that will help teach you how to
flight the 172. The flight will watch your
performance, and make sure you stay within the
"instructor's" limits.
