FSX Steam Edition: Cessna C172N Skyhawk II Add-On PC

The Cessna 172N Skyhawk II stands as one of the most produced training aircraft, entering service in 1977 with an upgraded engine and options like air conditioning and expanded fuel capacity. This FSX Steam Edition simulation delivers a detailed rendition perfect for VFR flights, complete with two models-one with fairings to cut drag and one without-plus four paint schemes. Pilots handle realistic weight and balance amid dynamic external and internal shadows on the virtual cockpit. Fly with interactive controls over ailerons, elevators, rudders, flaps, rolling wheels, doors, pilot window, tilting co-pilot seat, sun visor, fresh air vents, and vibrating antenna. The 3D cockpit features modeled pilot, custom gauges with realistic lights, night panel glow, and details like pitot tube, antennas, and chocks. Simulation enthusiasts who prioritize polygon-optimized models, normal mapping, specular effects, bloom lights, and included procedures PDFs will find it essential for precise VFR practice on PC.

Said to be the most successful training aircraft ever produced, the Cessna 172 Skyhawk first entered production in 1958, since when more than 40,000 have been built. The ‘N’ model was introduced in 1977 and featured an upgraded engine, with additional options such as air conditioning and larger fuel tanks becoming available before the introduction of the model ‘P’ successor.

Developed by Carenado, the FSX: Steam Edition version of the C172N Skyhawk is a beautifully detailed aircraft ideal for VFR flying. This pack includes four paint schemes and two models, with and without fairings. (Fairings are externals features which cover gaps and spaces between parts of an aircraft in order to reduce drag).
