Installation in FS2000/FS2002:
Unpack/extract the contents of the main zip-file into FS2000's/FS2002's Aircraft folder.
Initially planned for the 1962 Model Year, the Cessna Skymaster 336 debuted in 1964 in the same general configuration as later models, but with fixed landing gear. The 336 had an unfortunate angle of incidence in the wing, which made the pilot feel as if he were flying along with the nose too high. Only 195 were produced. The next model year, the 337 Super Skymaster was released with retractable landing gear, but without any increase in powerplants. The wing problem was remedied and the 337 was priced the same as the 336.
The turbocharged version was introduced in 1967 and the pressurized version was added in 1973. The turbo dropped out of the line after the 1971 model but came back as a 1978. These in the 1980 model line were the last Skymasters to be produced by Cessna. Over their history, there were only 357 Pressurized Skymasters and 1,951 of the turbo and the standard Skymasters produced. As of November 1998, there are only 57 of the 357 pressurized Skymasters still registered with the FAA. It would appear that you will soon be flying one of a dying breed.
The original price of the 1980 turbo Skymaster f.a.f (fly away factory) was $121,000 and for the pressurized version, $159,000. The special "II" models, which added additional avionics also, added about $19,000 to the base price.
The concept behind the Skymaster design was to provide an intermediate step-up for those pilots wishing to move from singles to twins. One element of flying conventional twins is the dangerous yaw encountered when one of the two engines fails. With the Skymaster configuration, one prop pushing and the other pulling and both in-line, what Cessna called "Center-line Thrust", the problem of an engine-out emergency would be easier and safer to handle. Actually, Cessna, in it's early development of the Skymaster was hoping to get the FAA to permit it's use without requiring a Twin Rating. It didn't work out exactly that way, although even now, there is a type rating for this configuration which permits the pilot to fly center-line thrust aircraft, but not conventional twins.
The Skymaster will long be remembered for its innovative design and in my opinion, for it's beautiful silhouette against the sky.

VISIT FS-EDDI
the page for all who take an interest in Berlin-Tempelhof Central Airport and the Microsoft flight simulator. Mainly, we want to put those FS-aircraft-models together and offer them for downloading that were on duty at Tempelhof (EDDI former EDDB). In this context we are offering facts and figures on the history of the airport, its airlines and the aircrafts they ran.
