one of the most popular downloads ever for FS2000 must have been the Dreamfleet2000/FSD Cessna C172 package. With a few limitations, it is still useable in FS2002. The recent release of RealAir´s awesome flight dynamics for the default Cessna C172SP and Lou Betti´s encouragement inspired us to rework the great panel of the package. We teamed up, tried to help each other whenever possible and offer the fruits of our labour with this download. I always wanted to use that term! Anytime again, Anthony!
Neither of us is a gauge programmer or panel designer, thus we had to rely on what´s already out there. We tried to combine the best components available on the net, but if you know of any improvements to this "release", we would be the first to try them.
You will have to have purchased Dreamfleet´s C177 Cardinal for this panel to work. If you haven´t heard of it, yet, you may have a look at it here: www.dreamfleet2000.com
Additionally, you need to download the original files from www.SurClaro For more details digest the included installation instructions.
Carenado Corp. kindly allowed us the use of their copyrighted C172´s yoke bitmap. It should be respected as their intellectual property. You may not distribute it elsewhere without their written permission.
I included a few pictures of my FS2002 Skyhawk with this download. I use Carenado´s C172N visual model with RealAir´s flight dynamics, Mike Hambly´s sounds of a Lycoming engine and the included panel. I have removed the foreign registration number from the textures of the aircraft and use an edited mdl.file (Thanks, Paul!) that eliminates the weird FS2000 balloon lights. Flying spins, crabs and side slips is a dream come true with this aircraft!
I have included a window for Marc Philibert´s fs_meteo weather gauge. It can easily be replaced against any other window or gauge of your choice if you haven´t purchased it or if you need the slot.
