As Flightsim and Aviation are getting more and more realistic, the modern simulator pilot demands the latest in Technology, both in and out of the cockpit.

With the VFA fleet flying mainly "basic" transport, i.e Cessna 172, pilots may want a more advanced trainer. I stumbled upon this in the Simviation file library.

This is what I mean, compare this to your average Baron.


It may luck, a bit hap-hazard to the untrained eye but it flies like a dream!






The panel  contains an Apple Mac in the cockpit, it is really good, brings up GPS, kneeBoard

eeeeeeekkk....what is that???!!   It looks horrible.....brrrr.
It looks like...."under construction"...oops we ran out of blueprint-paper to make it complete. Well, let`s build it anyway...who needs symmetry;D:>:]

It may be great to fly though...;)
