Flight1’s legendary recreation of the best selling Cessna of all time is back, and now flying in the Flight Simulator X and Vista skies!

Are you ready to go solo?

Flight1 Software in cooperation with their sister company Flight1 Aviation Technologies, Inc. produced the best recreation of Cessna’s best selling aircraft of all time – the 172.
The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is one of the most popular general aviation aircraft ever created. Tracing its roots back to the original production lineage of the late 1950's, the 172 Skyhawk has undergone many changes.

When the Cessna single engine facility re-emerged in July of 1996, the 172R Skyhawk was reborn. New features included a fuel injected Textron Lycoming IO-360-L2A engine with dual engine driven vacuum pumps, epoxy corrosion proofing, stainless steel control cables, thicker windows and new acoustic soundproofing. Cessna claims the 172R is significantly quieter than the O-320 it replaced, and it can produce its maximum power at just 2400rpm.
The Flight1 172R Skyhawk captures the spirit and feel of this famous and popular high wing, single engine aircraft. Features include a photo realistic 2D panel, 3D aircraft model, exceptionally clear virtual cockpit, new sounds, and flight dynamics that have been developed using real performance tables.

Flight1's 172R Skyhawk continues the tradition and commitment in offering you the highest level of product realism and integration for Microsoft's Flight Simulator 2004 and Flight Simulator X.
