The Cessna 170 series was one of the company's most successful post-war efforts; over 5000 were produced. It was a pilot's airplane, although some thought it was slightly underpowered. I had the opportunity to fly a brand new 170A from Bozeman, Montana to Billings, Montana and return in early 1949. It certainly was "more airplane" than the 140's and 120's I usually flew. I would have modeled this plane moons ago, but I never could find decent 3 views. Many thanks to Mick Morrissey for coming up with some that were at least acceptable.
This FSDSv2.24 project has alpha channel type reflective textures, moving parts, Nav and Landing lights, and a pilot figure. The panel is loosely based on a photo of a restored 170 panel. A Virtual Cockpit with working gauges is included. This project was compiled directly into FS2004 and I have no means of testing it in any other simulator.
INSTALLATION: Unzip C170A.zip into a temporary folder. Copy the folder Cessna 170A into the Aircraft folder of FS2004. Open the gauges folder and copy the 3 gauges into the Gauges folder of FS2004. All the other gauges are defaults and should show. This aircraft will show in the aircraft selection list under Cessna as the C170A.
LEGAL: This project is released as freeware. You may modify it, repaint it, etc., upload to another website as long as it is not for profit. You need my written permission to use any of these files for commercial purposes; otherwise just give me credit for the original design. This airplane should not hurt your computer but I am not responsible if it causes problems.
