/images/notams/notams19/prop0320/prop0320.jpgBased on the stories from Ken Myles, a real-life Quatam RiverAirport pilot we have created a free add-on for the default Cessna172. This mod places you in an old school workhorse C172 with tworetro liveries. The cockpit is old and worn but has been given amodern touch with the retrofitted Garmin Angle Of Attackindicator. This modern avionics piece allows you to tell exactly howclose you are to stalling and allows you to safely fly close to thelimits of the aircraft. Perfect for short field landings where landingslow and precise is the difference between a safe landing and endingup in the trees. /images/notams/notams19/prop0320/kenmyles-1.jpgThis C172 is also been fitted with large 29-inch tundra tiresallowing for soft field and off-airport landings. You can also swapout the standard tricycle gear for the conventional taildraggerconfiguration. In the cabin, the backseats have been swapped out forcargo space which is dynamically added based on the payload added inthe X-Plane settings. A belly cargo pod is also added with the weightso you can carry all your bush flying supplies. /images/notams/notams19/prop0320/kenmyles-3.jpgWe have worked closely with SimCoders, the makers of theReality Expansion Pack,to ensure compatibility between their REP for the default C172 and ourbush pack. They have released an update which recognizes our customfiles and adds your regular REP features for the most realistic C172flying experience, now with a bush flying configuration. /images/notams/notams19/prop0320/kenmyles-2.jpgIn cockpit, Garmin Angle Of Attack indicator for improved Short landings and safe low-speed manoeuvring.Custom Tundra tyres with better shock absorbing.Tricycle and taildragger version.Dynamic cargo system. The plane has removed backseat to allow for cargo storage in the cabin. As you increase the payload in X-Plane you will see cargo build up in the back.Belly cargo pod automatically added when the payload is higher.Custom textures for interior and exterior giving a workhorse like look. Nothing is clean or new, everything looks used and old.Integration of Miniweeb's Slant Alpha cockpit layout meaning radio stack on the panel instead of GPS'.
