About This ContentSaid 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).

Very well trimmed and so very easy to fly, even as a beginner. VC is also very good. But it's no plane where u change a thousands of settings while flying. So it's a perfect beginner plane in my opinion.. 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.. This 172 add-on feels old and outdated.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.. 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.
