At first I thought I was missing something. But now I'm convinced the developers didn't design it in the first place. This is a shame. Otherwise everything else is good. This needs to be corrected, like you said. Peter,

I have some 400hrs + in C172 airplanes, and mostly fly a 172N. I have ONE BIG disappointment with the Carenado model, in that it lacks a GLIDE SLOPE indicator in VOR # 1. I wrote Carenado about this , and was answered that the model that they copied did`nt have a glide slope. I an a bit put off with this answer as t the fact that it has two VORs and it is standard to have no.1 VOR with a glide slope for ILS approaches, I just do`nt believe the reason for this answer is fact, other than an oversight by Carenado. I`d very much like to see a patch to correct this mistake as I was so much looking forward to some great ILS stuff?

I am a PPL trainee on C172N and this model is by far the best I've tried. The cockpit has all the instruments it of the aircraft I train on. I made 2 amendments to Carenado's work: 1. in the 2D panel, the oil temp and pressure gauges have been mixed up with the fuel tanks gauges. An edit of the aircraft.cfg file fix this quickly. The VC panel doesnt have this small mix-up. 2. I deleted the non-bombustion sound files on engine shut down from the sound.cfg file. My aircraft doesnt do that type of noise and I'm pretty sure they took it out from the default cessna. The engine shut-down file itself though is superb. 3. when flying the real aircraft, you cant hear the flap noises. I removed these sounds from the sound.cfg. 4. I've seen a large number of C172N and most of them have 2 altimeters. In order to add the second one in the aircraft.cfg file, just add, at the end of the [Window00] section: gauge30=172Things2!Altimeter, 705,660,144,140 Excellent work.

Having real flight time in these aircraft there sims are just like the real thing but much cheaper to operate.. I only hope in the near future that the Cardinal 177 and the Cessna Centurion 210m will become a reality for FSX fans as these aircraft are very exciting to fly because of there higher speeds and ease of operation..Maybe an upgraded radio stack to boot... A very reputable company with SUPERB support and follow-up..
