About This Content

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).

Features:

  • External dynamic shadows, internal dynamic shadows on VC, normal mapping, specular mapping and bloom lights
  • Polygon optimized model
  • Interactive virtual cockpit
  • Animations include ailerons, elevators, rudders, flaps, rolling wheels, doors, pilot’s window, tilting co-pilot seat, sun visor, fresh air control and vibrating antenna
  • 3D modelled pilot and cockpit area
  • Details include pitot pressure chamber, antennas, chocks, pitot tube cover
  • Custom panel and gauges
  • Realistic light effects on gauges
  • Nightlight effects on panel
  • Real weight and balance
  • 4 paint schemes
  • 2 models: with and without fairings
  • Normal and Emergency Procedures PDF
  • Reference document

This 172 add-on feels old and outdated. The stall characteristics are laughable. The climb rate at 76 knots at sea level is well over 1,000 feet per minute at standard atmospheric conditions in the sim, but the real world plane will only give you approximately 750 feet per minute. Don't use this for training. Just skip it and get something like the Alabeo C177 Cardinal, you'll like it better.. Just flew this plane during a real world lesson today, and flew this addon 172N directly after my lesson. It's a very faithful recreation, especially with P-factor during takeoff and climb. The tachometer's green arc is too large, which I believe should go from 2000 until the red line at 2700 rpm. Highly recommend if you're looking for a real-feeling GA aircraft.. A great purchase!
I got this on sale for roughly $8 USD and I cannot say it wasn't worth it, this is a great budget C172 for VFR flying, this can also do some IFR flying but is best for VFR. Highly Recommended.

Pros & Cons

Pros:
Great virtual cockpit.
Great VC textures.
Great exterior model.
Fully moving parts.
Good exterior textures.
Good selection of liveries.
Model with gear fairings, and without.
Very fun to fly.
Good flight dynamics.

Cons:
No autopilot.

Overall I give this a 9.5\/10. Great purchase. Like I said, this is highly recommended.. Its overall a good realistic aircraft. Bought this to hold me off until I can get the A2A Cessna, but since i'm saving up to build a more capible PC for all my FSX addons, I bought this since it was cheaper and is still a really good realistic aircraft to add to the hanger.. Only thing wrong with this DLC is the RPM indicator was taken from a Piper Cherokee.... The green arc should only go between 2000 and 2500 rpm. Other than that, great DLC! 9.9\/10. its a great aircraft
carenado did a 9\/10 job making the C172N
has great flying charateristics
. This is a nice plane to fly, but there's no doubt that it's meant for VFR. Yes, there are nav frequencies and com frequencies, but no, there's no ILS landing system that I've found so far. Also, while the left door and window open and close just fine using their respective handles, the right window doesn't open at all, and the right door and baggage hatch can only be opened\/closed by Shift-E 2 or Shift-E 3. I don't know if this is a reflection of the real world airplane.

The cockpit is tidy without the usual yuckiness found in freeware offerings, I just don't like the white instrument surrounds, but that's a personal taste thing. Someone has provided a dark surround for use with this aircraft that looks much better in my opinion.

The engine starts very readily\u2014perhaps too readily, even when I don't use the primer. It's also no A2A plane, though I expected as much from the price. Personally, I think it's worth the price I paid (50% off).

One wrinkle I struck with this plane doesn't refer to the plane itself, but rather the manual. The last page of the manual duplicates (roughly) the previous page, with the only difference being a note that the aircraft is fictional and for simulation purposes only. I think some content got missed off, and I'd love to see this corrected some time in the near future. The content certainly doesn't reflect the depth of the information available in the original Pilot's Operating Handbook, it's\u2014barely\u2014enough to get you off the ground and back down again.

(Edited to update information). Only thing wrong with this DLC is the RPM indicator was taken from a Piper Cherokee.... The green arc should only go between 2000 and 2500 rpm. Other than that, great DLC! 9.9\/10. Carenado's Cessna 172N Skyhawk II is a great first-payware plane. When the 172N was being produced, customers were able to customize the 172N's panel however they liked it. Whether basic 6-pack gauges for basic VFR flying, or full blown IFR set with full radio and autopilot. However, Carenado decided to make this a VFR plane. Right off the bat, I will warn you that there is no autopilot, and it has basic navigation instruments and a basic radio. This is basically one of the perfect hands-on VFR airplane. But considering how damn stable the airplane is, with the right amount of trim, she'll fly just fine without control imputs and without autopilot either. I haven't flown IFR yet (IRL and in FSX), so I don't know if this plane is IFR suitable, but it might just be able to perform IFR flight, considering it has nav frequencies and a VOR\/OBS instrument.

Pros:<\/u>
