Cessna 172 Trainer Accu-Sim for FSX/P3D

Created by the highly reputable A2A Simulations, this epic remake of one of the most popular civil aircraft in aviation history gives you access to features, unlike anything that you will have used before in aircraft simulation. It takes on the mantle of delivering an experience just like the one you would find in reality, by using the popular A2A add-on known as Acc-Sim. This delegate's full control of the aircraft to you, giving you total power of what you will be doing, where you will be going, and everything in-between that makes sure you have the most authentic flight that you possibly can.

The Plane Itself

The Cessna 172 Trainer is a hugely popular aircraft for a variety of reasons, on the basis that it's been going since the late 1950s and even today is still in usage - and production. At the time of its creation, it was an overnight success that was able to hit the heights of just about any aircraft of the era.

Capable of carrying up to three passengers, the aircraft stands at 8.2m in length giving it a fine balance between being large enough to carry whatever it was supposed to, but small enough to be used for many different purposes.

Its tricycle landing gear was a revelation, and in its first year alone more than 1,400 of these aircraft were created. This gave people the chance to use high-end avionics, and today the aircraft still stands up as a popular civic utility aircraft.

In fact, the aircraft set a world record in 1958 for flight endurance - and even today, with all of our modern changes and innovations, it still stands. The record is held by John cook and Robert Timm, who flew for just under sixty-five days on a round trip from McCarran Airfield, NV, and back. It's this kind of record that makes people still remember this popular aircraft so fondly!

As you can imagine, an aircraft that has seen so many years of service has been through an incredible variety of variants of which there are more than twenty, comfortably. The Cessna 172 has also been used as a military trainer by the US Air Force, and the US Military. Additionally, it' served air forces in many parts of the world including Chile, Ecuador, Austria, and many other locations further proving just how much of a reliable aircraft this has proven to be.

Accu-Sim Expansion

One of the most useful reasons for having this package installed on your machine, though, is because it comes with the incredible Accu-Sim expansion. Another part of the immense A2A Legacy that they have created, Accu-Sim brings a whole new level of integration and flight capability into proceedings and allows the aircraft created by A2A to really hit the mark and shine.

Although the current FSX software is very high-end, it can be pushed further with the time and development that A2A Simulations have put into creating their projects. This makes it easier than ever for people to get to grips with aircraft simulation, and guarantees that this with more flight experience will feel right at home with the immense power and control that is on offer to them.

Having been in production for many years, Accu-Sim has become the spawn of many hours spent planning the best way to totally open up the boundaries of what is possible within a flight simulator. By making everything that little bit more real and believable, the entire onus shifts when you install this package - it gives you access to a Cessna 172 that is up there with the best models on the market. However, it also delivers this high-end package that revolutionizes the things that you can do within a flight simulator.

It adds in another layer of realism by making the chances of things going wrong actually possible - simulations run as if you are an expert, who has the most in-condition aircraft on the planet. There are rarely problems unless you actively engineer them, and you never need to face the kinds of incredible dangers that can come from flying an aircraft.

Accu-Sim adds in chaos to what is usually a world filled with order and simplicity. For those who want to see the world of simulation beyond a simple gaming engine and want the chance for reality to kick in at any given time, totally changing the environment that they are dealing with, then very few choices out there even come close to the quality provided by the Accu-Sim expansion.

Key Features

• Take full control of one of the world's premium aircraft trainers - it's still used today by many different industries and companies to incredible effect!

• Designed to be used with both commercial training for pilots as well as those who just want to have a little bit more fun than usual with their flight simulation

• Built "by the book", this aircraft simulation takes everything from the manual to make a truly faithful representation of this famous old aircraft

• It comes with many smaller features included - with or without Accu-Sim enabled - that make the flight far more realistic than usual. Things like propeller simulation have been totally refined to make them feel far more realistic than on any vanilla FSX aircraft

• Dynamic physics help to add a different method to landing whether it's soft grass or hard pavement that you are landing down on

• Electric started comes with a cranking power that's been created with accuracy, using many sources to create the dynamics

• Persistent aircraft where everything from the systems and temperatures of the aircraft is managed and optimized - even when your PC is shut off, your aircraft will be changing and developing

• Totally immersive cockpit design that ensures you get all of the little touches and additions you need to make it feel just as good as the real thing. from the buttons that move and sway, reacting to your every decision, you also get the incredible physics-driven sound systems that improve the entire atmosphere of the flight in so many ways

• Go through realistic standardized engine tests and compression checks before taking off, ensuring that you start to learn the importance of small things like procedure and following the right code before taking off at any given time, regardless of what you are trying to do you'll need to follow it by the letter

• Unique piston combustion engine modeling that makes the aircraft feel more alive than ever. As the air is brought in, it combines with the fuel and then ignites creating the ability to actually move the aircraft in the first place. All of the real factors that need to take place for an aircraft to fly have been added in so that the entire process is carried out, giving even more chance to have to troubleshoot and make a fast decision when problems occur

• Your gauges will literally look at what is happening inside the aircraft, and give you a realistic response - no more stock coding and templates to make it all "look" real. It's actually happening underneath your aircraft and you can watch the entire process unfold with unmatched quality and realism

• Complete avionics compatibility included making sure that GPS, GNS, and various other avionics packages have been included to give you the full idea of what you are using. Everything from the KAP 140 Two-Axis Autopilot to full GNS 430 and 530 support have been included

• 3D Lighting system included to make the model look and feel more alive than ever - no more flat lighting that barely helps you on those darkest flights. Instead, you'll have the same visibility as you would from the real thing

• Four animated passengers that can sit in any of the seats - including the pilots - to make the aircraft feel more alive than ever, completing the entire simulation experience

• Authentic fuel delivery process ensures that the aircraft behaves properly - and reacts to the way it would with any situation in real-life

• Exceptional design level and performance ensures that you can fly this aircraft on lower budget systems that are capable of dealing with the incredible intensity of new features that have been included

• Every bit as powerful as any other Accu-Sim enabled A2A product, ensuring that you are able to fly the Cessna 172 with maximum control and assertion over every single feature and addition that has been included

• Watch your aircraft react to the world around it from the weather conditions to the humidity in the sky creating an entirely new situation for you to manage in!
