This pack includes FOUR different aircraft, eight liveries and fourteen different navigation equipment. The aircraft are: Cessna Skylane II T182RG, Cessna Reims Skyhawk II F172P, Cessna Skylane 182S and Cessna Skyhawk 172SP.

 

The Cessna Reims Skyhawk II F172P it’s a replica of the one with tail number EC-EKF, based in the Real Aeroclub de Jerez (Spain), which is equipped for VFR flight only (in fact even the S-TEC System 50 Autopilot was disabled, though it works in this simulation). The gauges you see in her panel are the ones that were there. Try your VFR skill with this plane. We’d like to give special thanks to Pepe Luna (pilot) for all the explanations during our flights in this aircraft and for his patience.
 
We have develop the 2D panels for these planes under a simple philosophy: panels in which you can see, read and handle as many gauges as a medium quality monitor screen allows, using the minimum number of windows, with a gauges layout as real as possible. In this case all you need is in one window, which includes even the corresponding readable GPS.

 

A pleasure to fly with these panels, no need of complementary windows spoiling your maneuvering or views. See the screenshots ahead to have a look of every view.

 

Concerning the aircraft 3D model, you’ll find full moving parts, reflective textures and a complete VC (in which you can manage all the gauges too) and passengers cabin. We try to avoid things not very useful which, at the end, it's only suitable for reducing the frame rate.
