Tripple wow!

That thing looks like its nearly done! Very nicely modeled.

Thanks for the heads up Ryan.

Yea, looks like a very nicely modeled aircraft. Cruise speed of only 118 will keep me out of the loop though. I have several others that are around that speed and I rarely fly them, too slow.

[Kiwikat]

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!

:jawdrop::jawdrop::jawdrop:

I've been wanting one of these for quite some time. And it says on the top... "one of the current planes we are doing with cessna". I wonder what else they're hiding? :173go1:

[kilo delta]

I guess that they gave into Cessna's extortionate licensing prices? :kilroy:
It does look good, though :ernae:

Same here, just to slow for my tastes. great looking aircraft though.

Wonder what the pricing will be like with the Cessna licensing.

I still wish they would take the old cessna 421, slap some new textures/bumps/specs on it, rework the animations and run it thru the FSX compiler, would make me happy!

For a moment I thought they doing this one:

Considering they already did the Mustang, I'm sure they'd rather be partnered with Cessna than not - good advertising, especially for real pilots who may own the acft and want to fly it on their PC's. Just the other day I had a real pilot friend sit down with me and fly the mustang, he was very impressed with the G1000 simulation.

Maybe just plop the G1000 from the Mustang into a 172 or 182 or even a Caravan?

Not quite the same... I've been wanting a good LSA since they created that class of planes a few years back.

What I'd really like is a good Ikarus C42, but the Skycatcher is great as well.

A modern G1000'ed C206 would be out of this world, as well as a C172 G1000 trainer.

[Naki]

Oh yes I forgot about the 206, that would be nice..yes I guess that a lot changes need to be made from the Mustang's G1000 to a G1000 in other Cessnas.

[cheezyflier]

heck, if we're talking cool cessnas, nothing would be cooler than a nice 337 for fsx. fsd seems to have no intention of offering one.

considering how cool the flight one p-38 is, (just got that last night) i would be on it like a spider monkey

[JIMJAM]

Ive got enough slow GA aircraft already.

[Chacha]

Wow! :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: Wow!

Real cool.... :applause:

Ohh they are doing a 182 with a G1000! :ernae:

Another possibile G1000 Cessna would be the Cessna Corvalis (ex Columbia 400)

I'm going to faint if they keep this up. :eek:

Finally there will be some modern GA planes for FSX! :jump::jump::jump:

don't faint around these guys, what ever you do. the ones who rifle your pockets are the harmless ones. it's the others that should cause concern....:icon_lol:

[euroastar350]

I want a 182 on floats:jump:

[cheezyflier]

I want a 182 on floats:jump:


that would be pretty cool :applause:

[Lionheart]

Do they have any screenshots yet of the cockpit of the Skycatcher?

Blame your politicians, not Cessna.

[LouP]

Hi Cody,

U.S. corporations and politicians are pretty much one and the same these days. Last post by me in this thread.

LouP out (here anyway) :wavey:

That is not 100% accurate. For the Mustang for example, we worked with Cessna directly in engineering this product, and there is a certain participation level of Cessna involved.

See http://www.cessna.com/citation/mustang.html for example.

I just wanted to clarify this as some of the statements made were not completely accurate.

Thanks for clarifying that point,Steve.:):ernae:
It would be nice if Cessna would also consider joining forces with FS developers who wish to recreate some of their older aircraft designs;)
